Apache Spark → Azure Synapse
AI-first ETL from Apache Spark into Azure Synapse. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Apache Spark into Azure Synapse
Datrise syncs Apache Spark's records, events, and configuration objects into Azure Synapse as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as datetime2.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses COPY into staging, then a MERGE on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. Hash distribution on the join id with date partitioning on facts. Synapse dedicated pools reward good hash-distribution choices, so Datrise distributes on entity ids to avoid data-movement-heavy joins.
Ideal for Azure analytics estates feeding Power BI.
Endpoints
Apache Spark: SaaS or API data source for analytics and warehouse sync.
Azure Synapse: Microsoft analytics workspace with SQL pools.
How Apache Spark entities map to Azure Synapse
| Apache Spark entity | Azure Synapse object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| records | apache_spark_records | id PK · custom fields → NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns |
| events | apache_spark_events | datetime2 events |
| configuration objects | apache_spark_configuration_objects | id PK · linked to apache_spark_records |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Apache Spark's custom fields in Azure Synapse?
Flexible values are stored as NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Azure Synapse types.
How does the Apache Spark to Azure Synapse sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses COPY into staging, then a MERGE on stable id.
