Practical data governance using DataHub and NiFi
In this section, we will discuss a tool called DataHub and how different data stakeholders and stewards can make use of it to enable better data governance. But first, we will understand the use case and what we are trying to achieve.
In this section, we will build a data governance capability around a data ingestion pipeline. This data ingestion pipeline will fetch any new objects from an S3 location, enrich them, and store the data in a MySQL table. In this particular use case, we are getting telephone recharge or top-up events in an S3 bucket from various sources such as mobile or the web. We are enriching this data and storing it in a MySQL database using an Apache NiFi pipeline.
Apache NiFi is a powerful and reliable drag-and-drop visual tool that allows you to easily process and distribute data. It creates directed graphs to create a workflow or a data pipeline. It consists of the following high-level components so that...
