FakeSource

FakeSource connector

Description

The FakeSource is a virtual data source, which randomly generates the number of rows according to the data structure of the user-defined schema, just for some test cases such as type conversion or connector new feature testing

common options

Source plugin common parameters, please refer to Source Common Options for details

Example

Auto generate data rows

FakeSource {
row.num = 10
map.size = 10
array.size = 10
bytes.length = 10
string.length = 10
schema = {
fields {
c_map = "map<string, array<int>>"
c_array = "array<int>"
c_string = string
c_boolean = boolean
c_tinyint = tinyint
c_smallint = smallint
c_int = int
c_bigint = bigint
c_float = float
c_double = double
c_decimal = "decimal(30, 8)"
c_null = "null"
c_bytes = bytes
c_date = date
c_timestamp = timestamp
c_row = {
c_map = "map<string, map<string, string>>"
c_array = "array<int>"
c_string = string
c_boolean = boolean
c_tinyint = tinyint
c_smallint = smallint
c_int = int
c_bigint = bigint
c_float = float
c_double = double
c_decimal = "decimal(30, 8)"
c_null = "null"
c_bytes = bytes
c_date = date
c_timestamp = timestamp
}
}
}
}

Using fake data rows

FakeSource {
schema = {
fields {
pk_id = bigint
name = string
score = int
}
}
rows = [
{
kind = INSERT
fields = [1, "A", 100]
},
{
kind = INSERT
fields = [2, "B", 100]
},
{
kind = INSERT
fields = [3, "C", 100]
},
{
kind = UPDATE_BEFORE
fields = [1, "A", 100]
},
{
kind = UPDATE_AFTER
fields = [1, "A_1", 100]
},
{
kind = DELETE
fields = [2, "B", 100]
}
]
}

Using template

FakeSource {
row.num = 5
string.fake.mode = "template"
string.template = ["tyrantlucifer", "hailin", "kris", "fanjia", "zongwen", "gaojun"]
tinyint.fake.mode = "template"
tinyint.template = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
smalling.fake.mode = "template"
smallint.template = [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
int.fake.mode = "template"
int.template = [20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29]
bigint.fake.mode = "template"
bigint.template = [30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39]
float.fake.mode = "template"
float.template = [40.0, 41.0, 42.0, 43.0]
double.fake.mode = "template"
double.template = [44.0, 45.0, 46.0, 47.0]
schema {
fields {
c_string = string
c_tinyint = tinyint
c_smallint = smallint
c_int = int
c_bigint = bigint
c_float = float
c_double = double
}
}
}

Use range

FakeSource {
row.num = 5
string.template = ["tyrantlucifer", "hailin", "kris", "fanjia", "zongwen", "gaojun"]
tinyint.min = 1
tinyint.max = 9
smallint.min = 10
smallint.max = 19
int.min = 20
int.max = 29
bigint.min = 30
bigint.max = 39
float.min = 40.0
float.max = 43.0
double.min = 44.0
double.max = 47.0
schema {
fields {
c_string = string
c_tinyint = tinyint
c_smallint = smallint
c_int = int
c_bigint = bigint
c_float = float
c_double = double
}
}
}
