Another architect, a friend of mine, requested me for assistance with Change Data Capture with Data Brick. I assisted him and realized it might be valuable to others as well, so I decided to share the architecture with the team.
The Delta change data feed represents row-level changes between versions of a Delta table. When enabled on a Delta table, the runtime records “change events” for all the data written into the table. This includes the row data along with metadata indicating whether the specified row was inserted, deleted, or updated.
Create a silver table that contains a list of addresses
We are going to use this table to simulate appends and update commands that are common for transactional workloads.
%sql
CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY VIEW updates
as
select 11 primaryKey, "A updated address" as address, true as current, "2021-10-27" as effectiveDate, null as endDate
union
select 99 primaryKey, "A completely new address" as address, true as current, "2021-10-27" as effectiveDate, null as endDate;
SELECT * FROM updates;

A updated address

2021-10-27

99
A completely new address

2021-10-27
null
Showing all 2 rows.
We want to merge the view into the silver table. Specifically if the address already exists we want to set the endDate of the old record to be the effectiveDate of the new address record and change the flag for the current column to false. We then want to append the new update address as a brand new row. For completely new addresses we want to insert this as a new row.
%sql

updates.primaryKey as merge,

Generate Gold table and propagate changes
In some cases we may not want to show each data at the transaction level, and want present to users a high level aggregate. In this case we can use CDF to make sure that the changes are propaged effieciently without having to merge large amounts of data
%sql DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cdf.goldTable;
CREATE TABLE cdf.goldTable(
primaryKey int,
address string
) USING DELTA;
OK
%sql
-- Collect only the latest version for address

Example that Combines Snapshots with Change Data Feed
Create an intial dataset and save this as a Delta table.
This will be source table we'll use to propogate changes downstream.
%sql DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cdf.example_source;
countries = [("USA", 10000, 20000), ("India", 1000, 1500), ("UK", 7000, 10000), ("Canada", 500, 700) ]
columns = ["Country","NumVaccinated","AvailableDoses"]
spark.createDataFrame(data=countries, schema = columns).write \
.format("delta") \
.mode("overwrite") \
.option("userMetadata", "Snapshot Example 1") \
.saveAsTable("cdf.example_source") \
streaming_silverTable_df = spark.read.format("delta").table("cdf.example_source")
streaming_silverTable_df.show()
%sql
SET spark.databricks.delta.commitInfo.userMetadata =;
ALTER TABLE cdf.example_source SET TBLPROPERTIES (delta.enableChangeDataFeed = true)
%sql
SET spark.databricks.delta.commitInfo.userMetadata =;
UPDATE cdf.example_source SET NumVaccinated = 1000, AvailableDoses = 200 WHERE COUNTRY = 'Canada';
UPDATE cdf.example_source SET NumVaccinated = 2000, AvailableDoses = 500 WHERE COUNTRY = 'India';
SELECT * FROM cdf.example_source
%sql
describe history cdf.example_source
Let's do a few more operations...
%sql
DELETE FROM cdf.example_source where Country = 'UK';
SELECT * FROM cdf.example_source;
%sql
SET spark.databricks.delta.commitInfo.userMetadata =;
INSERT into cdf.example_source
SELECT "France" Country, 7500 as NumVacinated, 5000 as AvailableDoses;
UPDATE cdf.example_source SET NumVaccinated = 1200, AvailableDoses = 0 WHERE COUNTRY = 'CANADA';
SELECT * FROM cdf.example_source
%sql
SET spark.databricks.delta.commitInfo.userMetadata =Snapshot Example 2;
INSERT into cdf.example_source
SELECT "Mexico" Country, 2000 as NumVacinated, 1000 as AvailableDoses;
SELECT * FROM cdf.example_source
Let's set up what the workflow might look like for a consumer.
This will first retrieve a point in time snapshot of the source table, then starts subscribing to incremental updates using Spark Structured Streaming and CDF.
Cleanup
%sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cdf.example_source;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cdf.example_sink;
Despite the fact that it was not planned, I was invited to participate in the Canadian Global Power Platform Bootcamp 2022, and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my Azure and Azure migration experience.
You won’t want to miss this demo-focused session with industry experts in Azure and AI. Let’s get together and learn how Azure and AI Model
About this event
Let’s take a look at a demo to better understand Azure’s well-architected framework. We will walk through the five pillars of the Azure Well-Architected Framework and conclude with a live demo to demonstrate the functionality.
In this session we will see a live demo to deploy, test and host an AI model trained in Azure machine learning or, any other platform. We will also show options to configure a ML cluster with ACI and AKS. We will also talk about data drift option in AML to monitor production inferencing.
This is free, event-driven by user groups and communities around the world, for anyone who wants to learn more about Microsoft’s Power Platform. In this boot camp, we will deep-dive into Microsoft’s Power Platform stack with hands-on sessions and labs, delivered to you by the experts and community leaders.
