Routine Load

Doris can continuously consume data from Kafka Topic through the Routine Load method. After submitting a Routine Load job, Doris will continuously run the load job, generating real-time loading tasks to constantly consume messages from the specified Topic in the Kafka cluster.

Routine Load is a streaming load job that supports Exactly-Once semantics, ensuring that data is neither lost nor duplicated.

Usage Scenarios​

Supported Data File Formats​

Routine Load supports consuming data in CSV and JSON formats from Kafka.

When loading CSV format, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between null values and empty strings:

  • Null values need to be represented with \n. For example, a,\n,b indicates that the middle column is a null value.

  • Empty strings can be represented by leaving the data field empty. For example, a,,b indicates that the middle column is an empty string.

Usage Limitations​

When using Routine Load to consume data from Kafka, there are the following limitations:

  • It supports unauthenticated Kafka access as well as Kafka clusters authenticated through SSL.

  • The supported message formats are CSV and JSON text formats. Each message in CSV should be on a separate line, and the line should not end with a newline character.

  • By default, it supports Kafka versions 0.10.0.0 and above. If you need to use a Kafka version below 0.10.0.0 (such as 0.9.0, 0.8.2, 0.8.1, 0.8.0), you need to modify the BE configuration by setting the value of kafka_broker_version_fallback to the compatible older version, or directly set the value of property.broker.version.fallback when creating the Routine Load. However, using an older version may mean that some new features of Routine Load, such as setting the offset of Kafka partitions based on time, may not be available.

Basic Principles​

Routine Load continuously consumes data from Kafka Topic and writes it into Doris.

When a Routine Load job is created in Doris, it generates a persistent load job and several load tasks:

  • Load Job: Each routine load corresponds to a load job. The load job is a persistent task that continuously consumes data from the Kafka Topic.

  • Load Task: A load job is divided into several load tasks, which are loaded as independent basic units using the Stream Load method into BE.

The specific process of Routine Load is illustrated in the following diagram:

Routine Load

  1. The Client submits a Routine Load job to the FE to establish a persistent Routine Load Job.

  2. The FE splits the Routine Load Job into multiple Routine Load Tasks through the Job Scheduler.

  3. On the BE, each Routine Load Task is treated as a Stream Load task for importation and reports back to the FE upon completion.

  4. The Job Scheduler in the FE generates new Tasks based on the report results or retries failed Tasks.

  5. The Routine Load Job continuously generates new Tasks to complete uninterrupted data importation.

Quick Start​

Create Job​

In Doris, you can create persistent Routine Load tasks using the CREATE ROUTINE LOAD command. For detailed syntax, please refer to CREATE ROUTINE LOAD. Routine Load supports consuming data in CSV and JSON formats.

Loading CSV Data

  1. Loading data sample

    In Kafka, there is the following sample data:

    kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test-routine-load-csv --from-beginnin
    1,Emily,25
    2,Benjamin,35
    3,Olivia,28
    4,Alexander,60
    5,Ava,17
    6,William,69
    7,Sophia,32
    8,James,64
    9,Emma,37
    10,Liam,64

  2. Creating table

    In Doris, create the table for loading with the following syntax:

    CREATE TABLE testdb.test_streamload(
        user_id            BIGINT       NOT NULL COMMENT "User ID",
        name               VARCHAR(20)           COMMENT "User Name",
        age                INT                   COMMENT "User Age"
    )
    DUPLICATE KEY(user_id)
    DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(user_id) BUCKETS 10;

  3. Creating the Routine Load job

    In Doris, use the CREATE ROUTINE LOAD command to create the load job:

    CREATE ROUTINE LOAD testdb.example_routine_load_csv ON test_routineload_tbl
    COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ",",
    COLUMNS(user_id, name, age)
    FROM KAFKA(
        "kafka_broker_list" = "192.168.88.62:9092",
        "kafka_topic" = "test-routine-load-csv",
        "property.kafka_default_offsets" = "OFFSET_BEGINNING"
    );

Loading JSON Data

  1. Loading sample data

    In Kafka, there is the following sample data:

    kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test-routine-load-json --from-beginning

  2. Creating table

    In Doris, create the table for loading with the following syntax:

    CREATE TABLE testdb.test_streamload(
        user_id            BIGINT       NOT NULL COMMENT "User ID",
        name               VARCHAR(20)           COMMENT "User Name",
        age                INT                   COMMENT "User Age"
    )
    DUPLICATE KEY(user_id)
    DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(user_id) BUCKETS 10;

  3. Creating the Routine Load job

    In Doris, use the CREATE ROUTINE LOAD command to create the job:

    CREATE ROUTINE LOAD testdb.example_routine_load_json ON test_routineload_tbl
    COLUMNS(user_id, name, age)
    PROPERTIES(
        "format"="json",
        "jsonpaths"="[\"$.user_id\",\"$.name\",\"$.age\"]"
    )
    FROM KAFKA(
        "kafka_broker_list" = "192.168.88.62:9092"
    );

Viewing Status​

In Doris, you can check the status of Routine Load jobs and tasks using the following methods:

  • Load Jobs: Used to view information about load tasks, such as the target table, number of subtasks, load delay status, load configuration, and load results.

  • Load Tasks: Used to view the status of individual load tasks, including task ID, transaction status, task status, execution start time, and BE (Backend) node assignment.

01 Viewing Running Jobs

You can use the SHOW ROUTINE LOAD command to check the status of jobs. The SHOW ROUTINE LOAD command provides information about the current job, including the target table, load delay status, load configuration, and error messages.

For example, to view the status of the testdb.example_routine_load_csv job, you can run the following command:

mysql> SHOW ROUTINE LOAD FOR testdb.example_routine_load\G

02 Viewing Running Tasks

You can use the SHOW ROUTINE LOAD TASK command to check the status of load tasks. The SHOW ROUTINE LOAD TASK command provides information about the individual tasks under a specific load job, including task ID, transaction status, task status, execution start time, and BE ID.

For example, to view the task status of the example_routine_load_csv job, you can run the following command:

mysql> SHOW ROUTINE LOAD TASK WHERE jobname = 'example_routine_load_csv';

+-----------------------------------+-------+-----------+-------+---------------------+---------------------+---------+-------+----------------------+

Pausing Jobs​

You can pause an load job using the PAUSE ROUTINE LOAD command. When a job is paused, it enters the PAUSED state, but the load job is not terminated and can be resumed using the RESUME ROUTINE LOAD command.

To pause the testdb.example_routine_load_csv load job, you can use the following command:

PAUSE ROUTINE LOAD FOR testdb.example_routine_load_csv;

Resuming Jobs​

You can resume a paused load job using the RESUME ROUTINE LOAD command.

To resume the testdb.example_routine_load_csv job, you can use the following command:

RESUME ROUTINE LOAD FOR testdb.example_routine_load_csv;

Modifying Jobs​

You can modify a created loading job using the ALTER ROUTINE LOAD command. Before modifying the job, you need to pause it using the PAUSE ROUTINE LOAD command, and after making the modifications, you can resume it using the RESUME ROUTINE LOAD command.

To modify the desired_concurrent_number parameter for the job and update the Kafka topic information, you can use the following command:

ALTER ROUTINE LOAD FOR testdb.example_routine_load_csv
PROPERTIES(
    "desired_concurrent_number" = "3"
)
FROM KAFKA(
    "kafka_broker_list" = "192.168.88.60:9092",
    "kafka_topic" = "test-topic"
);

Canceling Jobs​

You can stop and delete a Routine Load job using the STOP ROUTINE LOAD command. Once deleted, the load job cannot be recovered and cannot be viewed using the SHOW ROUTINE LOAD command.

To stop and delete the testdb.example_routine_load_csv load job, you can use the following command:

STOP ROUTINE LOAD FOR testdb.example_routine_load_csv;

Reference Manual​

Load Commands​

The syntax for creating a Routine Load persistent load job is as follows:

CREATE ROUTINE LOAD [<db_name>.]<job_name> [ON <tbl_name>]
[merge_type]
[load_properties]
[job_properties]
FROM KAFKA [data_source_properties]
[COMMENT "<comment>"]

The modules for creating a loading job are explained as follows:

ModuleDescription
db_nameSpecifies the name of the database for creating the loading task.
job_nameSpecifies the name of the created loading job. The job name must be unique within the same database.
tbl_nameSpecifies the name of the table to be loaded. This parameter is optional. If not specified, the dynamic table mode will be used, where Kafka data should contain the table name information.
merge_typeSpecifies the data merge type. The default value is APPEND. Possible merge_type options are:
  • APPEND: Append load mode
  • MERGE: Merge load mode
  • DELETE: load data as delete records
load_propertiesDescribes the load properties, including:
  • colum_spearator clause
  • columns_mapping clause
  • preceding_filter clause
  • where_predicates clause
  • partitions clause
  • delete_on clause
  • order_by clause
job_propertiesSpecifies the general load parameters for Routine Load.
data_source_propertiesDescribes the properties of Kafka data source.
commentDescribes any additional comments for the loading job.

Load Parameter Description​

01 FE Configuration Parameters

max_routine_load_task_concurrent_num

  • Default Value: 5

  • Dynamic Configuration: Yes

  • FE Master Exclusive: Yes

  • Parameter Description: Limits the maximum number of concurrent subtasks for Routine Load jobs. It is recommended to keep it at the default value. Setting it too high may result in excessive concurrent tasks and resource consumption.

max_routine_load_task_num_per_be

  • Default Value: 5

  • Dynamic Configuration: Yes

  • FE Master Exclusive: Yes

  • Parameter Description: Limits the maximum number of concurrent Routine Load tasks per backend (BE). max_routine_load_task_num_per_be should be smaller than the routine_load_thread_pool_size parameter.

max_routine_load_job_num

  • Default Value: 100

  • Dynamic Configuration: Yes

  • FE Master Exclusive: Yes

  • Parameter Description: Limits the maximum number of Routine Load jobs, including those in NEED_SCHEDULED, RUNNING, and PAUSE states.

max_tolerable_backend_down_num

  • Default Value: 0

  • Dynamic Configuration: Yes

  • FE Master Exclusive: Yes

  • Parameter Description: If any BE goes down, Routine Load cannot automatically recover. Under certain conditions, Doris can reschedule PAUSED tasks and transition them to the RUNNING state. Setting this parameter to 0 means that re-scheduling is only allowed when all BE nodes are in the alive state.

period_of_auto_resume_min

  • Default Value: 5 (minutes)

  • Dynamic Configuration: Yes

  • FE Master Exclusive: Yes

  • Parameter Description: The period for automatically resuming Routine Load.

02 BE Configuration Parameters

max_consumer_num_per_group

  • Default Value: 3

  • Dynamic Configuration: Yes

  • Description: Specifies the maximum number of consumers generated per subtask. For Kafka data sources, a consumer can consume one or multiple Kafka partitions. For example, if a task needs to consume 6 Kafka partitions, it will generate 3 consumers, with each consumer consuming 2 partitions. If there are only 2 partitions, it will generate 2 consumers, with each consumer consuming 1 partition.

Load Configuration Parameters​

When creating a Routine Load job, you can specify the load configuration parameters for different modules using the CREATE ROUTINE LOAD command.

tbl_name Clause

Specifies the name of the table to be loaded. This parameter is optional.

If not specified, the dynamic table mode is used, which requires the data in Kafka to contain the table name information. Currently, only extracting the table name from the Value field of Kafka is supported. The format should be as follows, using JSON as an example: table_name|{"col1": "val1", "col2": "val2"}, where tbl_name is the table name and | is used as the separator between the table name and the table data. The same format applies to CSV data, such as table_name|val1,val2,val3. Note that the table_name here must be consistent with the table name in Doris, otherwise the load will fail. Note that dynamic tables do not support the column_mapping configuration described later.

merge_type Clause

The merge_type module specifies the type of data merging. There are three options for merge_type:

  • APPEND: Append load mode.

  • MERGE: Merge load mode. Only applicable to Unique Key models. It needs to be used together with the [DELETE ON] module to mark the Delete Flag column.

  • DELETE: All loaded data is data that needs to be deleted.

load_properties Clause

The load_properties module describes the properties of the loaded data using the following syntax:

[COLUMNS TERMINATED BY <column_separator>,]
[COLUMNS (<column1_name>[, <column2_name>, <column_mapping>, ...]),]
[WHERE <where_expr>,]
[PARTITION(<partition1_name>, [<partition2_name>, <partition3_name>, ...]),]
[DELETE ON <delete_expr>,]
[ORDER BY <order_by_column1>[, <order_by_column2>, <order_by_column3>, ...]]

The specific parameters for each module are as follows:

SubmoduleParameterDescription
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY<column_separator>Specifies the column delimiter, defaulting to \t. For example, to specify a comma as the delimiter, use COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ",". When handling empty values, note the following:
  • Null values should be represented as \n. For example, a,\n,b represents a null value in the middle column.
  • Empty strings ('') are treated as empty values. For example, a,,b represents an empty string in the middle column.
COLUMNS<column_name>Specifies the corresponding column names. For example, to specify the load columns as (k1, k2, k3), use COLUMNS(k1, k2, k3). The COLUMNS clause can be omitted in the following cases:
  • When the columns in the CSV match the table columns one by one.
  • When the key columns in JSON have the same names as the table columns.
<column_mapping>During the load process, column mapping can be used to filter and transform columns. For example, if the target column needs to perform a derived calculation based on a column in the data source (e.g., the target column k4 is calculated as k3 + 1 based on the k3 column), you can use COLUMNS(k1, k2, k3, k4 = k3 + 1). For more details, refer to the Data Conversion documentation.
WHERE<where_expr>Specifies the condition to filter the loaded data source. For example, to load only data where age > 30, use WHERE age > 30.
PARTITION<partition_name>Specifies which partitions in the target table to load. If not specified, it will automatically load into the corresponding partitions. For example, to load partitions p1 and p2 of the target table, use PARTITION(p1, p2).
DELETE ON<delete_expr>In the MERGE load mode, using delete_expr to mark which columns need to be deleted. For example, to delete columns where age > 30 during the MERGE process, use DELETE ON age > 30.
ORDER BY<order_by_column>Only effective for Unique Key models. Specifies the Sequence Column in the loaded data to ensure the order of the data. For example, when loading into a Unique Key table and specifying create_time as the Sequence Column, use ORDER BY create_time. For more information on Sequence Columns in Unique Key models, refer to the Data Update/Sequence Columns

job_properties Clause

The job_properties clause is used to specify the properties of a Routine Load job when creating it. The syntax is as follows:

PROPERTIES ("<key1>" = "<value1>"[, "<key2>" = "<value2>" ...])

Here are the available parameters for the job_properties clause:

ParameterDescription
desired_concurrent_number
  • Default value: 5
  • Description: Specifies the desired concurrency for a single load subtask (load task). It modifies the expected number of load subtasks for a Routine Load job. The actual concurrency during the load process may not be equal to the desired concurrency. The actual concurrency is determined based on factors such as the number of nodes in the cluster, the load on the cluster, and the characteristics of the data source. The actual number of loading subtasks can be calculated using the following formula:
  • min(topic_partition_num, desired_concurrent_number, max_routine_load_task_concurrent_num)
  • where:
  • topic_partition_num: The number of partitions in the Kafka topic
  • desired_concurrent_number: The parameter value set
  • max_routine_load_task_concurrent_num: The parameter for setting the maximum task parallelism for Routine Load in the FE
max_batch_intervalThe maximum running time for each subtask, in seconds. The range is from 1s to 60s, with a default value of 10s. max_batch_interval/max_batch_rows/max_batch_size together form the execution threshold for subtasks. If any of these parameters reaches the threshold, the load subtask ends and a new one is generated.
max_batch_rowsThe maximum number of rows read by each subtask. Must be greater than or equal to 200,000. The default value is 200,000. max_batch_interval/max_batch_rows/max_batch_size together form the execution threshold for subtasks. If any of these parameters reaches the threshold, the load subtask ends and a new one is generated.
max_batch_sizeThe maximum number of bytes read by each subtask. The unit is bytes, and the range is from 100MB to 1GB. The default value is 100MB. max_batch_interval/max_batch_rows/max_batch_size together form the execution threshold for subtasks. If any of these parameters reaches the threshold, the load subtask ends and a new one is generated.
max_error_numberThe maximum number of error rows allowed within a sampling window. Must be greater than or equal to 0. The default value is 0, which means no error rows are allowed. The sampling window is max_batch_rows * 10. If the number of error rows within the sampling window exceeds max_error_number, the regular job will be paused and manual intervention is required to check for data quality issues using the SHOW ROUTINE LOAD command and ErrorLogUrls. Rows filtered out by the WHERE condition are not counted as error rows.
strict_modeWhether to enable strict mode. The default value is disabled. Strict mode applies strict filtering to type conversions during the load process. If enabled, non-null original data that results in a NULL after type conversion will be filtered out. The filtering rules in strict mode are as follows:
  • Derived columns (generated by functions) are not affected by strict mode.
  • If a column's type needs to be converted, any data with an incorrect data type will be filtered out. You can check the filtered columns due to data type errors in the ErrorLogUrls of SHOW ROUTINE LOAD.
  • For columns with range restrictions, if the original data can be successfully converted but falls outside the declared range, strict mode does not affect it. For example, if the type is decimal(1,0) and the original data is 10, it can be converted but is not within the range declared for the column. Strict mode does not affect this type of data. For more details, see Strict Mode.
timezoneSpecifies the time zone used by the load job. The default is to use the session's timezone parameter. This parameter affects the results of all timezone-related functions involved in the load.
formatSpecifies the data format for the load. The default is csv, and JSON format is supported.
jsonpathsWhen the data format is JSON, jsonpaths can be used to specify the JSON paths to extract data from nested structures. It is a JSON array of strings, where each string represents a JSON path.
delimiterSpecifies the delimiter used in CSV files. The default delimiter is a comma (,).
escapeSpecifies the escape character used in CSV files. The default escape character is a backslash ().
quoteSpecifies the quote character used in CSV files. The default quote character is a double quotation mark (").
null_formatSpecifies the string representation of NULL values in the load data. The default is an empty string.
skip_header_linesSpecifies the number of lines to skip at the beginning of the load data file. The default is 0, which means no lines are skipped.
skip_footer_linesSpecifies the number of lines to skip at the end of the load data file. The default is 0, which means no lines are skipped.
query_parallelismSpecifies the number of parallel threads used by each subtask to execute SQL statements. The default is 1.
query_timeoutSpecifies the timeout for SQL statement execution. The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
query_bandSpecifies the query band string to be set for each subtask.
memory_quota_per_querySpecifies the memory quota for each subtask, in bytes. The default is -1, which means to use the system default.
error_table_nameSpecifies the name of the error table where error rows are stored. The default is null, which means no error table is generated.
error_table_databaseSpecifies the database where the error table is located. The default is null, which means the error table is located in the current database.
error_table_schemaSpecifies the schema where the error table is located. The default is null, which means the error table is located in the public schema.
error_table_logging_policySpecifies the logging policy for the error table. The default is null, which means to use the system default.
error_table_reuse_policySpecifies the reuse policy for the error table. The default is null, which means to use the system default.
error_table_creation_timeSpecifies the creation time for the error table. The default is null, which means to use the current time.
error_table_cleanup_timeSpecifies the cleanup time for the error table. The default is null, which means not set a cleanup time.
error_table_logSpecifies whether to enable logging for the error table. The default is null, which means to use the system default.
error_table_backup_timeSpecifies the backup time for the error table. The default is null, which means not set a backup time.
error_table_backup_pathSpecifies the backup path for the error table. The default is null, which means not set a backup path.
error_table_lifetimeSpecifies the lifetime of the error table. The default is null, which means to use the system default.
error_table_backup_lifetimeSpecifies the backup lifetime for the error table. The default is null, which means to use the system default.
error_table_labelSpecifies the label for the error table. The default is null, which means not set a label.
error_table_prioritySpecifies the priority for the error table. The default is null, which means to use the system default.
error_table_commentSpecifies the comment for the error table. The default is null, which means to not set a comment.

These parameters can be used to customize the behavior of a Routine Load job according to your specific requirements.

04 data_source_properties Clause

When creating a Routine Load job, you can specify the data_source_properties clause to specify properties of the Kafka data source. The syntax is as follows:

FROM KAFKA ("<key1>" = "<value1>"[, "<key2>" = "<value2>" ...])

The available options for the data_source_properties clause are as follows:

ParameterDescription
kafka_broker_listSpecifies the connection information for Kafka brokers. The format is <kafka_broker_ip>:<kafka_port>. Multiple brokers are separated by commas. For example, to specify a Broker List with the default port 9092, you can use the following command: "kafka_broker_list" = "<broker1_ip>:9092,<broker2_ip>:9092"
kafka_topicSpecifies the Kafka topic to subscribe to. A load job can only consume one Kafka topic.
kafka_partitionsSpecifies the Kafka partitions to subscribe to. If not specified, all partitions are consumed by default.
kafka_offsetsSpecifies the starting consumption offset for Kafka partitions. If a timestamp is specified, consumption starts from the nearest offset equal to or greater than that timestamp. The offset can be a specific offset greater than or equal to 0, or it can use the following formats:
  • OFFSET_BEGINNING: Starts consuming from the position where there is data.
  • OFFSET_END: Starts consuming from the end.
  • Timestamp format, e.g., "2021-05-22 11:00:00"
  • If not specified, consumption starts from OFFSET_END for all partitions under the topic.
  • Multiple starting consumption offsets can be specified, separated by commas, such as "kafka_offsets" = "101,0,OFFSET_BEGINNING,OFFSET_END" or "kafka_offsets" = "2021-05-22 11:00:00,2021-05-22 11:00:00"
  • Note that timestamp format cannot be mixed with OFFSET format.
propertySpecifies custom Kafka parameters. This is equivalent to the "--property" parameter in the Kafka shell. When the value of a parameter is a file, the keyword "FILE:" needs to be added before the value. For creating a file, you can refer to the CREATE FILE command documentation. For more supported custom parameters, you can refer to the client-side configuration options in the official CONFIGURATION documentation of librdkafka. For example: "property.client.id" = "12345", "property.group.id" = "group_id_0", "property.ssl.ca.location" = "FILE:ca.pem"

By configuring the Kafka property parameter in the data_source_properties, you can set up security access options. Currently, Doris supports various Kafka security protocols such as plaintext (default), SSL, PLAIN, and Kerberos.

  1. Example of property parameters for accessing an SSL-authenticated Kafka cluster:

    "property.security.protocol" = "ssl",
    "property.ssl.ca.location" = "FILE:ca.pem",
    "property.ssl.certificate.location" = "FILE:client.pem",
    "property.ssl.key.location" = "FILE:client.key",
    "property.ssl.key.password" = "ssl_passwd"

  2. Example of property parameters for accessing a PLAIN-authenticated Kafka cluster:

    "property.security.protocol"="SASL_PLAINTEXT",
    "property.sasl.mechanism"="PLAIN",
    "property.sasl.username"="admin",
    "property.sasl.password"="admin_passwd"

  3. Example of property parameters for accessing a Kerberos-authenticated Kafka cluster:

    "property.security.protocol" = "SASL_PLAINTEXT",
    "property.sasl.kerberos.service.name" = "kafka",
    "property.sasl.kerberos.keytab" = "/etc/krb5.keytab",
    "property.sasl.kerberos.principal" = "doris@YOUR.COM"

Load Status​

You can check the status of a load job using the SHOW ROUTINE LOAD command. The syntax for the command is as follows:

SHOW [ALL] ROUTINE LOAD [FOR jobName];

For example, executing SHOW ROUTINE LOAD will return a result set similar to the following:

mysql> SHOW ROUTINE LOAD FOR testdb.example_routine_load\G

Single-task Loading to Multiple Tables​

Create a Kafka routine dynamic table load task named "test1" for the "example_db". Specify the column delimiter, group.id, and client.id. Automatically consume all partitions and start subscribing from the available data position (OFFSET_BEGINNING).

Assuming we need to load data from Kafka into tables "tbl1" and "tbl2" in the "example_db", we create a Routine Load task named "test1". This task will load data from Kafka's topic my_topic into both "tbl1" and "tbl2" simultaneously. This way, we can load data from Kafka into two tables using a single routine load task.

CREATE ROUTINE LOAD example_db.test1
PROPERTIES
(
    "desired_concurrent_number"="3",
    "max_batch_interval" = "20",
    "max_batch_rows" = "300000",
    "max_batch_size" = "209715200",
    "strict_mode" = "false"
)
FROM KAFKA
(
    "kafka_broker_list" = "broker1:9092,broker2:9092,broker3:9092",
    "kafka_topic" = "my_topic",
    "property.group.id" = "xxx",
    "property.client.id" = "xxx",
    "property.kafka_default_offsets" = "OFFSET_BEGINNING"
);

Currently, only extracting the table name from the Value field of Kafka is supported. The format should be as follows, using JSON as an example: table_name|{"col1": "val1", "col2": "val2"}, where tbl_name is the table name and | is used as the separator between the table name and the table data. The same format applies to CSV data, such as table_name|val1,val2,val3. Note that the table_name here must be consistent with the table name in Doris, otherwise the load will fail. Note that dynamic tables do not support the column_mapping configuration described later.

Strict Mode Load​

Create a Kafka routine load task named "test1" for the "example_db" and "example_tbl". The load task is set to strict mode.

CREATE ROUTINE LOAD example_db.test1 ON example_tbl
COLUMNS(k1, k2, k3, v1, v2, v3 = k1 * 100),
PRECEDING FILTER k1 = 1,
WHERE k1 < 100 and k2 like "%doris%"
PROPERTIES
(
    "desired_concurrent_number"="3",
    "max_batch_interval" = "20",
    "max_batch_rows" = "300000",
    "max_batch_size" = "209715200",
    "strict_mode" = "true"
)
FROM KAFKA
(
    "kafka_broker_list" = "broker1:9092,broker2:9092,broker3:9092",
    "kafka_topic" = "my_topic",
    "kafka_partitions" = "0,1,2,3",
    "kafka_offsets" = "101,0,0,200"
);
