Description
We have an Elastic DB where data flows in from different sources. This data contains an incremental field called timestamp, which keeps track of when the data was inserted into the database.
Our problem consists of two parts:
Bulk Data Transfer: This involves transferring old data as a one-time exercise, which we will handle on our end.
Real-Time Data Ingestion: We need Pathway to continuously send a query based on the incremental timestamp field to pull data from Elastic (e.g., data that is 5 seconds old) and ingest it into our Click-House database via Pathway.
To ensure no data is missed or duplicated, the query must be sent every 5 seconds to retrieve the most recent 5 seconds of data.
In case a large volume of data gets inserted within a short period (e.g., in the last 5 seconds), we may need to implement pagination to handle the data efficiently.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the existing Elasticsearch and ClickHouse integration points, then determine how incremental timestamps, five-second polling, deduplication, and pagination are handled. Done means reliable real-time transfer without missed or duplicated records.
