example 1

We have a source table like this:

create table test_hive_source(
     test_tinyint                          TINYINT,
     test_smallint                       SMALLINT,
     test_int                                INT,
     test_bigint                           BIGINT,
     test_boolean                       BOOLEAN,
     test_float                             FLOAT,
     test_double                         DOUBLE,
     test_string                           STRING,
     test_binary                          BINARY,
     test_timestamp                  TIMESTAMP,
     test_decimal                       DECIMAL(8,2),
     test_char                             CHAR(64),
     test_varchar                        VARCHAR(64),
     test_date                             DATE,
     test_array                            ARRAY<INT>,
     test_map                              MAP<STRING, FLOAT>,
     test_struct                           STRUCT<street:STRING, city:STRING, state:STRING, zip:INT>
     )
PARTITIONED BY (test_par1 STRING, test_par2 STRING);

We need read data from the source table and write to another table:

create table test_hive_sink_text_simple(
     test_tinyint                          TINYINT,
     test_smallint                       SMALLINT,
     test_int                                INT,
     test_bigint                           BIGINT,
     test_boolean                       BOOLEAN,
     test_float                             FLOAT,
     test_double                         DOUBLE,
     test_string                           STRING,
     test_binary                          BINARY,
     test_timestamp                  TIMESTAMP,
     test_decimal                       DECIMAL(8,2),
     test_char                             CHAR(64),
     test_varchar                        VARCHAR(64),
     test_date                             DATE
     )
PARTITIONED BY (test_par1 STRING, test_par2 STRING);

The job config file can like this:

env {
  # You can set flink configuration here
  parallelism = 3
  job.name="test_hive_source_to_hive"
}

source {
  Hive {
    table_name = "test_hive.test_hive_source"
    metastore_uri = "thrift://ctyun7:9083"
  }
}

sink {
  # choose stdout output plugin to output data to console

  Hive {
    table_name = "test_hive.test_hive_sink_text_simple"
    metastore_uri = "thrift://ctyun7:9083"
  }
}
