Prerequisites​

To understand how BigQuery ingestion needs to be set up, first familiarize yourself with the concepts in the diagram below:

There are two important concepts to understand and identify:

  • Extractor Project: This is the project associated with a service-account, whose credentials you will be configuring in the connector. The connector uses this service-account to run jobs (including queries) within the project.
  • Bigquery Projects are the projects from which table metadata, lineage, usage, and profiling data need to be collected. By default, the extractor project is included in the list of projects that DataHub collects metadata from, but you can control that by passing in a specific list of project ids that you want to collect metadata from. Read the configuration section below to understand how to limit the list of projects that DataHub extracts metadata from.

Create a datahub profile in GCP​

  1. Create a custom role for datahub as per BigQuery docs.
  2. Follow the sections below to grant permissions to this role on this project and other projects.
Basic Requirements (needed for metadata ingestion)​
  1. Identify your Extractor Project where the service account will run queries to extract metadata.
permission                      Description                                                                                                                        Capability                                                              
bigquery.jobs.create          Run jobs (e.g. queries) within the project. This only needs for the extractor project where the service account belongs                                                                                                                       
bigquery.jobs.list            Manage the queries that the service account has sent. This only needs for the extractor project where the service account belongs                                                                                                             
bigquery.readsessions.create  Create a session for streaming large results. This only needs for the extractor project where the service account belongs                                                                                                                     
bigquery.readsessions.getDataGet data from the read session. This only needs for the extractor project where the service account belongs                      
  1. Grant the following permissions to the Service Account on every project where you would like to extract metadata from
info

If you have multiple projects in your BigQuery setup, the role should be granted these permissions in each of the projects.

permission                      Description                                                                                                Capability              Default GCP role which contains this permission                                                                
bigquery.datasets.get        Retrieve metadata about a dataset.                                                                          Table Metadata Extraction          roles/bigquery.metadataViewer

Create a service account in the Extractor Project​

  1. Setup a ServiceAccount as per BigQuery docs and assign the previously created role to this service account.
  2. Download a service account JSON keyfile. Example credential file:
{
   "type": "service_account",
   "project_id": "project-id-1234567",
   "private_key_id": "d0121d0000882411234e11166c6aaa23ed5d74e0",
   "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIyourkey\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----",
   "client_email": "test@suppproject-id-1234567.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
   "client_id": "113545814931671546333",
   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
   "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
   "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
   "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/test%suppproject-id-1234567.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
}

  1. To provide credentials to the source, you can either:

    Set an environment variable:

    $ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/keyfile.json"

    or

    Set credential config in your source based on the credential json file. For example:

    credential:
      project_id: project-id-1234567
      private_key_id: "d0121d0000882411234e11166c6aaa23ed5d74e0"
      private_key: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIyourkey\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
      client_email: "test@suppproject-id-1234567.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
      client_id: "123456678890"

Lineage Computation Details​

When use_exported_bigquery_audit_metadata is set to true, lineage information will be computed using exported bigquery logs. On how to setup exported bigquery audit logs, refer to the following docs on BigQuery audit logs. Note that only protoPayloads with "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.audit.BigQueryAuditMetadata" are supported by the current ingestion version. The bigquery_audit_metadata_datasets parameter will be used only if use_exported_bigquery_audit_metadat is set to true.

Note: the bigquery_audit_metadata_datasets parameter receives a list of datasets, in the format $PROJECT.$DATASET. This way queries from a multiple number of projects can be used to compute lineage information.

Note: Since bigquery source also supports dataset level lineage, the auth client will require additional permissions to be able to access the google audit logs. Refer the permissions section in bigquery-usage section below which also accesses the audit logs.

Profiling Details​

For performance reasons, we only profile the latest partition for partitioned tables and the latest shard for sharded tables. You can set partition explicitly with partition.partition_datetime property if you want, though note that partition config will be applied to all partitioned tables.

Caveats​

  • For materialized views, lineage is dependent on logs being retained. If your GCP logging is retained for 30 days (default) and 30 days have passed since the creation of the materialized view we won't be able to get lineage for them.

CLI based Ingestion​

Install the Plugin​

pip install 'acryl-datahub[bigquery]'

Starter Recipe​

Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion! See below for full configuration options.

For general pointers on writing and running a recipe, see our main recipe guide.

    table_pattern:
      deny:
        # The exact name of the table is revenue_table_name
        # The reason we have this `.*` at the beginning is because the current implmenetation of table_pattern is testing
