Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect - Mandarin Chinese

本课程全面介绍 LakeFlow Connect——一种可扩展且简便的解决方案,用于将来自各种来源的数据摄取到 Databricks 中。您将首先浏览 LakeFlow Connect 连接器的不同类型(标准型和托管型),并学习各种数据摄取技术,包括批处理摄取、增量批处理摄取和流式处理摄取。您还将了解使用 Delta 表和金银铜架构的主要优势。

接下来,您将培养使用 LakeFlow Connect 标准连接器从云对象存储摄取数据的实践技能。这包括使用 CREATE TABLE AS SELECT(CTAS)、COPY INTO 和 Auto Loader 等方法,并重点介绍每种方法的优势和注意事项。您还将学习如何在将数据摄取到 Databricks Data Intelligence Platform 的过程中,向铜层表追加元数据列。课程随后介绍如何使用救援数据列处理与表架构不匹配的记录,以及管理和分析此类数据的策略。您还将探索摄取和展平半结构化 JSON 数据的技术。

此后,您将探索如何使用 LakeFlow Connect 托管连接器执行企业级数据摄取,以引入来自数据库和软件即服务(SaaS)应用程序的数据。课程还将介绍 Partner Connect,作为将合作伙伴工具集成到摄取工作负载中的一种选项。

最后,课程以替代摄取策略作为总结,包括 MERGE INTO 运营以及利用 Databricks Marketplace,为您奠定坚实的基础,以支持现代数据工程用例。
