State CLI SQL access

This tutorial is a continuation from the previous state example. This tutorial shows how to use SQL interface through CLI to access state data.

Prerequisites​

This guide uses local Fluvio cluster. If you need to install it, please follow the instructions at here.

Dataflow​

Overview​

From previous examples we learned how to create and manipulate a state. Here we will do the same but also will use CLI interface to access it.

Collect-sensor-data​

1. Define the state​

For this state, we will track the latitude, longitude, sensor_status and more parameters from the sensors.

    states:
vehicle-data:
type: keyed-state
properties:
key:
type: string
value:
type: arrow-row
properties:
latitude:
type: f64
longitude:
type: f64
fuel_consumption:
type: u32
sensor_status:
type: string
engine_temperature:
type: i32

Here, the key is a string but the value is stored as an arrow-row which can contain multiple properties(acts like columns).

2. Assign key​

We will access the id from the sensor data to partition the state.

partition:
assign-key:
run: |
fn key_by_id(data: VehicleDataType) -> Result<String> {
Ok(data.vehicle_id)
}
update-state:
(...)

3. Updating State​

To update the state in an arrow-row, we need to update the individual row's columns manually and call an update(). We can also use delete() to purge the state on the key.

partition:
assign-key:
(...)
update-state:
run: |
fn update_temperature(data: VehicleDataType) -> Result<()> {
let mut vd = vehicle_data();

vd.latitude = data.latitude;
vd.longitude = data.longitude;
vd.fuel_consumption = data.fuel_consumption;
vd.engine_temperature = data.engine_temperature;
vd.sensor_status = data.sensor_status;
vd.update()?;
Ok(())
}

States are terminal so no other action will be run.

In this example there is not other service consuming the state, we will use the SQL interface to access it from CLI.

Running the Example​

Full Code​

Copy and paste following config and save it as dataflow.yaml.

apiVersion: 0.5.0

update-state:
run: |
fn update_temperature(data: VehicleDataType) -> Result<()> {
let mut vd = vehicle_data();

vd.latitude = data.latitude;
vd.longitude = data.longitude;
vd.fuel_consumption = data.fuel_consumption;
vd.engine_temperature = data.engine_temperature;
vd.sensor_status = data.sensor_status;
vd.update()?;
Ok(())
}

Running SDF​

To run example:

$ sdf run

Produce data​

We will produce some data to mimic sensors behavior.

$ echo '{ "timestamp": "2023-11-22T12:34:56Z", "vehicle_id": "V001", "latitude": 40.7128, "longitude": -74.0060, "speed": 60, "engine_temperature": 90, "engine_rpm": 2000, "fuel_consumption": 10, "sensor_status": "ok" }' | fluvio produce vehicle-sensor
$ echo '{ "timestamp": "2023-11-22T12:35:01Z", "vehicle_id": "V002", "latitude": 34.0522, "longitude": -118.2437, "speed": 30, "engine_temperature": 85, "engine_rpm": 1500, "fuel_consumption": 8, "sensor_status": "failed"}' | fluvio produce vehicle-sensor

Enter SQL Mode​

In the SDF interactive shell use the sql command to enter the SQL Mode:

>> sql
SDF SQL version sdf-beta5
Type .help for help.
sql >>

Run queries on the SQL mode​

In the SQL mode we will be able to access the dataframe states of the dataflow.

We can list the tables available with:

sql >> show tables
shape: (1, 1)
┌──────────────┐
│ name │
│ --- │
│ str │
╞══════════════╡
│ vehicle_data │
└──────────────┘

We can also perform normal sql queries:

select * from vehicle_data
shape: (2, 6)
┌──────┬────────────────────┬──────────────────┬──────────┬───────────┬───────────────┐
│ _key ┆ engine_temperature ┆ fuel_consumption ┆ latitude ┆ longitude ┆ sensor_status │
│ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- │
│ str ┆ i32 ┆ u32 ┆ f64 ┆ f64 ┆ str │
╞══════╪════════════════════╪══════════════════╪══════════╪═══════════╪═══════════════╡
│ V001 ┆ 90 ┆ 10 ┆ 40.7128 ┆ -74.006 ┆ ok │
│ V002 ┆ 85 ┆ 8 ┆ 34.0522 ┆ -118.2437 ┆ failed │
└──────┴────────────────────┴──────────────────┴──────────┴───────────┴───────────────┘

sql >> select * from vehicle_data where sensor_status = 'failed'
shape: (1, 6)
┌──────┬────────────────────┬──────────────────┬──────────┬───────────┬───────────────┐
│ _key ┆ engine_temperature ┆ fuel_consumption ┆ latitude ┆ longitude ┆ sensor_status │
│ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- │
│ str ┆ i32 ┆ u32 ┆ f64 ┆ f64 ┆ str │
╞══════╪════════════════════╪══════════════════╪══════════╪═══════════╪═══════════════╡
│ V002 ┆ 85 ┆ 8 ┆ 34.0522 ┆ -118.2437 ┆ failed │
└──────┴────────────────────┴──────────────────┴──────────┴───────────┴───────────────┘

Exit the SQL mode​

Use .quit or .exit to exit the SQL mode.

sql >> .quit

Cleanup​

Exit sdf terminal and clean-up. The --force flag removes the topics:

$ sdf clean --force

Conclusion​

We just implement example accessing arrow states through SQL interface. The following link contains another example using the data from multiple states to perform a JOIN Query
