SQL Topic

Introduction

Conduktor Gateway's SQL topic feature uses a SQL like language to filter and project messages, based on a simple SQL statement in the form.

SELECT
    type,
    price as amount,
    color,
    CASE
        WHEN color = 'red' AND price > 1000 THEN 'Exceptional'
        WHEN price > 8000 THEN 'Luxury'
        ELSE 'Regular'
    END as quality,
    record.offset as record_offset,
    record.partition as record_partition
  FROM cars

This supports for FetchResponse only: i.e., resulting topic is read-only.

SELECT [list of fields] FROM [topic name] WHERE [field filter criteria]

Currently

• With filter records based on more than one condition, only AND operator current supported
• Predicates are currently supported: =, >, >=, <, <=, <> and REGEXP (RegExp MySQL Operator)
• Support Case Expression
• Filtered by:
  • Record key (It supports SR):
    • Record key as string: - .. WHERE record.key = 'some thing'
    • Record key as schema: .. WHERE record.key.someValue.someChildValue = 'some thing'
  • Record value (It supports SR): .. WHERE $.someValue.someChildValue = 'some thing'
  • Partition: .. WHERE record.partition = 1
  • Timestamp: .. WHERE record.timestamp = 98717823712
  • Header: .. WHERE record.header.someHeaderKey = 'some thing'
  • Offset: .. WHERE record.offset = 1

Configuration

key	type	description
virtualTopic	String	if virtualTopic exists, fetch this topic will get the data from the statement without configure it's own statement.
statement	String	SQL Statement
schemaRegistryConfig	Schema Registry	Schema Registry Config

Schema Registry

key	type	default	description
host	String		Url of schema registry
cacheSize	String	50	This interceptor caches schemas locally so that it doesn't have to query the schema registry
additionalConfigs	map		Additional properties maps to specific security related parameters. For enhanced security, you can use the template ${MY_ENV_VAR} in map values, then define their actual values in the environmental config variables of Gateway. (eg: -e MY_ENV_VAR=someValue)
