amazon-redshiftHow can I use Amazon Redshift and Amazon EMR together?


Amazon Redshift and Amazon EMR can be used together to perform large-scale data analysis. The data stored in Redshift can be accessed and processed using Amazon EMR, which provides a managed Hadoop framework.

For example, the following code can be used to run a Hive query on data stored in Amazon Redshift:

aws emr create-cluster --name "My Cluster" --release-label emr-5.20.0 \
--applications Name=Hive --ec2-attributes InstanceProfile=EMR_EC2_DefaultRole \
--log-uri s3://my-log-bucket/logs/ --configurations file://config.json \
--steps Type=Hive,Name="My Hive Step",ActionOnFailure=CONTINUE,Args=[-f,script.q]

The --configurations parameter can be used to specify the connection details for Amazon Redshift. The --steps parameter can be used to specify the Hive query to be executed.

The following components are used in this example:

  • aws emr create-cluster: Creates an Amazon EMR cluster with the specified configuration.
  • --name "My Cluster": Specifies the name of the cluster.
  • --release-label emr-5.20.0: Specifies the version of Amazon EMR to use.
  • --applications Name=Hive: Specifies that Hive should be installed on the cluster.
  • --ec2-attributes InstanceProfile=EMR_EC2_DefaultRole: Specifies the IAM role to use for the cluster.
  • --log-uri s3://my-log-bucket/logs/: Specifies the S3 bucket to use for logging.
  • --configurations file://config.json: Specifies the connection details for Amazon Redshift.
  • --steps Type=Hive,Name="My Hive Step",ActionOnFailure=CONTINUE,Args=[-f,script.q]: Specifies the Hive query to be executed.

Further information about using Amazon Redshift and Amazon EMR together can be found in the Amazon EMR documentation.
