Set Up Environment and Run Simple Example

In this section, we are going to show you how to set up your development environment for SeaTunnel, and then run a simple example in your JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA.

You can develop or test SeaTunnel code in any development environment that you like, but here we use JetBrains IDEA as an example to teach you to step by step environment.

Prepare

Before we start talking about how to set up the environment, we need to do some preparation work. Make sure you already have installed the following software:

• Git installed.
• Java (only JDK 8 supported by now) installed and JAVA_HOME set.
• Scala (only scala 2.11.8 supported by now) installed.
• Maven installed.
• JetBrains IDEA installed.

Set Up

Clone the Source Code

First of all, you need to clone the SeaTunnel source code from GitHub.

git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-seatunnel.git

Install Subproject Locally

After cloning the source code, you should run the maven command to install the subproject to the maven local repository. Otherwise, your code could not start in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA correctly.

mvn install

Install JetBrains IDEA Scala Plugin

Now, you can open your JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA and explore the source code, but allow building Scala code in IDEA, you should also install JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA's Scala plugin. See install plugins for IDEA if you want to.

Run Simple Example

After all the above things are done, you just finish the environment setup and can run an example we provide to you out of box. All examples are in module seatunnel-examples, you could pick one you are interested in, running or debugging it in IDEA as you wish.

Here we use seatunnel-examples/seatunnel-flink-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/seatunnel/example/flink/LocalFlinkExample.java as an example, when you run it successfully you could see the output as below:

+I[Gary, 1647423592505]
+I[Kid Xiong, 1647423593510]
+I[Ricky Huo, 1647423598537]
...
...
+I[Gary, 1647423597533]

What's More

All our examples use simple source and sink to make it less dependent and easy to run. You can change the example configuration in resources/examples. You could change your configuration as below, if you want to use PostgreSQL as the source and sink to console.

env {
  execution.parallelism = 1
}

source {
  JdbcSource {
    driver = org.postgresql.Driver
    url = "jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database"
    username = postgres
    query = "select * from test"
  }
}

sink {
  ConsoleSink {}
}
