Write from Dataflow to Apache Iceberg

To write from Dataflow to Apache Iceberg, use the managed I/O connector.

Dependencies

Add the following dependencies to your project:

Java 

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.beam</groupId>
  <artifactId>beam-sdks-java-managed</artifactId>
  <version>${beam.version}</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.beam</groupId>
  <artifactId>beam-sdks-java-io-iceberg</artifactId>
  <version>${beam.version}</version>
</dependency>

Configuration

For Apache Iceberg, the Managed I/O uses the following configuration parameters:

Name Data type Description
table string The identifier of the Apache Iceberg table. Example: "db.table1".
catalog_name string The name of the catalog. Example: "local".
catalog_properties map A map of configuration properties for the Apache Iceberg catalog. The required properties depend on the catalog. For more information, see CatalogUtil in the Apache Iceberg documentation.
config_properties map An optional set of Hadoop configuration properties. For more information, see CatalogUtil in the Apache Iceberg documentation.
triggering_frequency_seconds integer For streaming write pipelines, the frequency at which the sink attempts to produce snapshots, in seconds.

Example

The following example writes in-memory JSON data to an Apache Iceberg table.

Java

To authenticate to Dataflow, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.
