SAN RAMON, Calif., Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- WANdisco, the
LiveData company, announced today that its LiveData Migrator
platform, which automates the migration and replication of Hadoop
data from on-premises to the cloud, can now directly migrate Apache
Hive metadata from Hadoop to the AWS Glue Data Catalog, allowing
Amazon Web Services (AWS) users to quickly and efficiently maximize
their metadata in the cloud. With this added capability, companies
can implement an incremental migration strategy that automatically
migrates both Hadoop data and Hive metadata as it is generated or
modified during the migration process and avoid developing and
maintaining custom code for their cloud migration
project.
"This new feature further strengthens the API integration
between AWS services and LiveData Migrator. AWS users can now
quickly derive value from cloud-based data and benefit even more
from AWS cloud services," said WANdisco CTO Paul Scott-Murphy. "By directly migrating
metadata from Apache Hive to AWS Glue Data Catalog, companies can
enjoy the benefits of a cloud-native, managed metadata catalog that
is flexible, reliable, and usable for a broad range of AWS
services."
LiveData Migrator automates cloud data migration at scale by
enabling companies to easily migrate data from on-premises
Hadoop-oriented data lakes to any cloud within minutes, even while
the source data sets are under active change. Businesses can
migrate their data without the expertise of engineers or other
consultants to enable their digital transformation. LiveData
Migrator works without any production system downtime or business
disruption while ensuring the migration is complete and continuous
and any ongoing data changes are replicated to the target cloud
environment.
With the added benefit of moving metadata to AWS Glue Data
Catalog, LiveData Migrator users gain a cloud native metastore for
all data assets, regardless of location. The catalog can hold table
definitions, job definitions, schemas, and other parameters. Users
automatically gain computed statistics with registered partitions
to make queries against their data efficient and cost-effective.
AWS maintains and manages the service so that users do not need to
scale up capacity as demands grow, respond to outages, ensure data
resilience, or update infrastructure.
Migrating Hive metadata to the AWS Glue Data Catalog can be
achieved by simply defining the Amazon Simple Storage Service
(Amazon S3) target for table content and the AWS Glue Data Catalog
for metadata. Users then select the databases and tables they want
to migrate and auto-start the migration. All selected existing
metadata, and any selected metadata that are modified after the
Hive Migration is created would be available for use from any AWS
service referencing the AWS Glue Data Catalog. For more
information see the article posted on the AWS Partner Network
Blog.
