Kafka коннектор#
Примечание
Ниже приведена оригинальная документация Trino. Скоро мы ее переведем на русский язык и дополним полезными примерами.
This connector allows the use of Apache Kafka topics as tables in Trino. Each message is presented as a row in Trino.
Topics can be live. Rows appear as data arrives, and disappear as segments get dropped. This can result in strange behavior if accessing the same table multiple times in a single query (e.g., performing a self join).
The connector reads and writes message data from Kafka topics in parallel across workers to achieve a significant performance gain. The size of data sets for this parallelization is configurable and can therefore be adapted to your specific needs.
See the Kafka connector tutorial.
Requirements#
To connect to Kafka, you need:
Kafka broker version 0.10.0 or higher.
Network access from the Trino coordinator and workers to the Kafka nodes. Port 9092 is the default port.
Конфигурация#
To configure the Kafka connector, create a catalog properties file
etc/catalog/kafka.properties
with the following content,
replacing the properties as appropriate.
In some cases, such as when using specialized authentication methods, it is necessary to specify
additional Kafka client properties in order to access your Kafka cluster. To do so,
add the kafka.config.resources
property to reference your Kafka config files. Note that configs
can be overwritten if defined explicitly in kafka.properties
:
connector.name=kafka
kafka.table-names=table1,table2
kafka.nodes=host1:port,host2:port
kafka.config.resources=/etc/kafka-configuration.properties
Multiple Kafka clusters#
You can have as many catalogs as you need, so if you have additional
Kafka clusters, simply add another properties file to etc/catalog
with a different name (making sure it ends in .properties
). For
example, if you name the property file sales.properties
, Trino
creates a catalog named sales
using the configured connector.
Log levels#
Kafka consumer logging can be verbose and pollute Trino logs. To lower the
log level, simply add the following to etc/log.properties
:
org.apache.kafka=WARN
Configuration properties#
The following configuration properties are available:
Property name |
Description |
---|---|
|
Default schema name for tables. |
|
List of nodes in the Kafka cluster. |

A comma-separated list of Kafka client configuration files. These files must exist on the
machines running Trino. Only specify this if absolutely necessary to access Kafka.
Example: |
In addition, you must configure table schema and schema registry usage with the relevant properties.
kafka.default-schema
#
Defines the schema which contains all tables that were defined without a qualifying schema name.
This property is optional; the default is default
.
kafka.nodes
#
A comma separated list of hostname:port
pairs for the Kafka data nodes.
This property is required; there is no default and at least one node must be defined.
Примечание
Trino must still be able to connect to all nodes of the cluster even if only a subset is specified here, as segment files may be located only on a specific node.
kafka.buffer-size
#
Size of the internal data buffer for reading data from Kafka. The data buffer must be able to hold at least one message and ideally can hold many messages. There is one data buffer allocated per worker and data node.
This property is optional; the default is 64kb
.
kafka.timestamp-upper-bound-force-push-down-enabled
#
The upper bound predicate on _timestamp
column
is pushed down only for topics using LogAppendTime
mode.
For topics using CreateTime
mode, upper bound pushdown must be explicitly
enabled via kafka.timestamp-upper-bound-force-push-down-enabled
config property
or timestamp_upper_bound_force_push_down_enabled
session property.
This property is optional; the default is false
.
kafka.hide-internal-columns
#
In addition to the data columns defined in a table description file, the
connector maintains a number of additional columns for each table. If
these columns are hidden, they can still be used in queries but do not
show up in DESCRIBE <table-name>
or SELECT *
.
This property is optional; the default is true
.
kafka.security-protocol
#
Protocol used to communicate with brokers.
Valid values are: PLAINTEXT
, SSL
.
This property is optional; default is PLAINTEXT
.
kafka.ssl.keystore.location
#
Location of the keystore file used for connection to Kafka cluster.
This property is optional.
kafka.ssl.keystore.password
#
Password for the keystore file used for connection to Kafka cluster.
This property is optional, but required when kafka.ssl.keystore.location
is given.
kafka.ssl.keystore.type
#
File format of the keystore file.
Valid values are: JKS
, PKCS12
.
This property is optional; default is JKS
.
kafka.ssl.truststore.location
#
Location of the truststore file used for connection to Kafka cluster.
This property is optional.
kafka.ssl.truststore.password
#
Password for the truststore file used for connection to Kafka cluster.
This property is optional, but required when kafka.ssl.truststore.location
is given.
kafka.ssl.truststore.type
#
File format of the truststore file. Valid values are: JKS, PKCS12.
This property is optional; default is JKS
.
kafka.ssl.key.password
#
Password for the private key in the keystore file used for connection to Kafka cluster.
This property is optional. This is required for clients only if two-way authentication is configured, i.e. ssl.client.auth=required
.
kafka.ssl.endpoint-identification-algorithm
#
The endpoint identification algorithm used by clients to validate server host name for connection to Kafka cluster.
Kafka uses https
as default. Use disabled
to disable server host name validation.
This property is optional; default is https
.
Internal columns#
The internal column prefix is configurable by kafka.internal-column-prefix
configuration property and defaults to _
. A different prefix affects the
internal column names in the following sections. For example, a value of
internal_
changes the partition ID column name from _partition_id
to internal_partition_id
.
For each defined table, the connector maintains the following columns:
Column name |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|
|
BIGINT |
ID of the Kafka partition which contains this row. |
|
BIGINT |
Offset within the Kafka partition for this row. |
|
BIGINT |
Lowest offset in the segment (inclusive) which contains this row. This offset is partition specific. |
|
BIGINT |
Highest offset in the segment (exclusive) which contains this row. The offset is partition specific. This is the same value as |
|
BIGINT |
Running count for the current row within the segment. For an uncompacted topic, |
|
BOOLEAN |
True if the decoder could not decode the message for this row. When true, data columns mapped from the message should be treated as invalid. |
|
VARCHAR |
Message bytes as a UTF-8 encoded string. This is only useful for a text topic. |
|
BIGINT |
Number of bytes in the message. |
|
map(VARCHAR, array(VARBINARY)) |
Headers of the message where values with the same key are grouped as array. |
|
BOOLEAN |
True if the key decoder could not decode the key for this row. When true, data columns mapped from the key should be treated as invalid. |
|
VARCHAR |
Key bytes as a UTF-8 encoded string. This is only useful for textual keys. |
|
BIGINT |
Number of bytes in the key. |
|
TIMESTAMP |
Message timestamp. |
For tables without a table definition file, the _key_corrupt
and
_message_corrupt
columns will always be false
.
Table schema and schema registry usage#
The table schema for the messages can be supplied to the connector with a configuration file or a schema registry. It also provides a mechanism for the connector to discover tables.
You must configure the supplier with the kafka.table-description-supplier
property, setting it to FILE
or CONFLUENT
. Each table description
supplier has a separate set of configuration properties.
Refer to the following subsections for more detail. The FILE
table
description supplier is the default, and the value is case insensitive.
File table description supplier#
In order to use the file-based table description supplier, the
kafka.table-description-supplier
must be set to FILE
, which is the
default.
In addition, you must set kafka.table-names
and
kafka.table-description-dir
as described in the following sections:
kafka.table-names
#
Comma-separated list of all tables provided by this catalog. A table name can be
unqualified (simple name), and is placed into the default schema (see
below), or it can be qualified with a schema name
(<schema-name>.<table-name>
).
For each table defined here, a table description file (see below) may exist. If no table description file exists, the table name is used as the topic name on Kafka, and no data columns are mapped into the table. The table still contains all internal columns (see below).
This property is required; there is no default and at least one table must be defined.
kafka.table-description-dir
#
References a folder within Trino deployment that holds one or more JSON files
(must end with .json
) which contain table description files.
This property is optional; the default is etc/kafka
.
Table definition files#
Kafka maintains topics only as byte messages and leaves it to producers and consumers to define how a message should be interpreted. For Trino, this data must be mapped into columns to allow queries against the data.
Примечание
For textual topics that contain JSON data, it is entirely possible to not
use any table definition files, but instead use the Trino
JSON functions and operators to parse the _message
column which contains
the bytes mapped into a UTF-8 string. This is cumbersome and makes it
difficult to write SQL queries. This only works when reading data.
A table definition file consists of a JSON definition for a table. The
name of the file can be arbitrary but must end in .json
. Place the
file in the directory configured with the kafka.table-description-dir
property. The table definition file must be accessible from all Trino nodes.

Key and message in Kafka#
Starting with Kafka 0.8, each message in a topic can have an optional key. A table definition file contains sections for both key and message to map the data onto table columns.
Each of the key
and message
fields in the table definition is a
JSON object that must contain two fields:
Field |
Required |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
|

"formatHint": ...,
"hidden": ...,
"comment": ...
}

There is no limit on field descriptions for either key or message.
Confluent table description supplier#
The Confluent table description supplier uses the Confluent Schema Registry to discover table definitions. It is only tested to work with the Confluent Schema Registry.
The benefits of using the Confluent table description supplier over the file table description supplier are:
New tables can be defined without a cluster restart.
Schema updates are detected automatically.
There is no need to define tables manually.
Set kafka.table-description-supplier
to CONFLUENT
to use the
schema registry. You must also configure the additional properties in the following table:
Примечание
Inserts are not supported, and the only data format supported is AVRO.
Property name |
Description |
Default value |
---|---|---|
|
Comma-separated list of URL addresses for the Confluent schema registry.
For example, |
|
|
The maximum number of subjects that can be stored in the local cache. The
cache stores the schemas locally by subjectId, and is provided by the
Confluent |
1000 |
|
Avro allows empty struct fields, but this is not allowed in Trino. There are three strategies for handling empty struct fields:
|
|
|
The interval used for refreshing the list of subjects and the definition of the schema for the subject in the subject’s cache. |
|
Confluent subject to table name mapping#
The subject naming strategy determines how a subject is resolved from the table name.
The default strategy is the TopicNameStrategy
, where the key subject is
defined as <topic-name>-key
and the value subject is defined as
<topic-name>-value
. If other strategies are used there is no way to
determine the subject name beforehand, so it must be specified manually in the
table name.
To manually specify the key and value subjects, append to the topic name,
for example: <topic name>&key-subject=<key subject>&value-subject=<value
subject>
. Both the key-subject
and value-subject
parameters are
optional. If neither is specified, then the default TopicNameStrategy
is
used to resolve the subject name via the topic name. Note that a case
insensitive match must be done, as identifiers cannot contain upper case
characters.
Kafka inserts#
The Kafka connector supports the use of INSERT statements to write data to a Kafka topic. Table column data is mapped to Kafka messages as defined in the table definition file. There are five supported data formats for key and message encoding:
These data formats each have an encoder that maps column values into bytes to be sent to a Kafka topic.
Trino supports at-least-once delivery for Kafka producers. This means that messages are guaranteed to be sent to Kafka topics at least once. If a producer acknowledgement times out, or if the producer receives an error, it might retry sending the message. This could result in a duplicate message being sent to the Kafka topic.
The Kafka connector does not allow the user to define which partition will be used as the target for a message. If a message includes a key, the producer will use a hash algorithm to choose the target partition for the message. The same key will always be assigned the same partition.
Type mapping#
Because Trino and Kafka each support types that the other does not, this connector maps some types when reading (decoding) or writing (encoding) data. Type mapping depends on the format (Raw, Avro, JSON, CSV).
Row encoding#
Encoding is required to allow writing data; it defines how table columns in Trino map to Kafka keys and message data.
The Kafka connector contains the following encoders:
raw encoder - Table columns are mapped to a Kafka message as raw bytes.
CSV encoder - Kafka message is formatted as a comma-separated value.
JSON encoder - Table columns are mapped to JSON fields.
Avro encoder - Table columns are mapped to Avro fields based on an Avro schema.
Protobuf encoder - Table columns are mapped to Protobuf fields based on a Protobuf schema.
Примечание
A table definition file must be defined for the encoder to work.
Raw encoder#
The raw encoder formats the table columns as raw bytes using the mapping information specified in the table definition file.
The following field attributes are supported:
dataFormat
- Specifies the width of the column data type.type
- Trino data type.mapping
- start and optional end position of bytes to convert (specified asstart
orstart:end
).
The dataFormat
attribute selects the number of bytes converted.
If absent, BYTE
is assumed. All values are signed.
Supported values:
BYTE
- one byteSHORT
- two bytes (big-endian)INT
- four bytes (big-endian)LONG
- eight bytes (big-endian)FLOAT
- four bytes (IEEE 754 format, big-endian)DOUBLE
- eight bytes (IEEE 754 format, big-endian)
The type
attribute defines the Trino data type.
Different values of dataFormat
are supported, depending on the Trino data
type:
Trino data type |
|
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No other types are supported.
The mapping
attribute specifies the range of bytes in a key or
message used for encoding.
Примечание
Both a start and end position must be defined for VARCHAR
types.
Otherwise, there is no way to know how many bytes the message contains. The
raw format mapping information is static and cannot be dynamically changed
to fit the variable width of some Trino data types.
If only a start position is given:
For fixed width types, the appropriate number of bytes are used for the specified
dataFormat
(see above).
If both a start and end position are given, then:
For fixed width types, the size must be equal to number of bytes used by specified
dataFormat
.All bytes between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) are used.
Примечание
All mappings must include a start position for encoding to work.
The encoding for numeric data types (BIGINT
, INTEGER
, SMALLINT
,
TINYINT
, REAL
, DOUBLE
) is straightforward. All numeric types use
big-endian. Floating point types use IEEE 754 format.
Example raw field definition in a table definition file for a Kafka message:
{
"tableName": "your-table-name",
"schemaName": "your-schema-name",
"topicName": "your-topic-name",
"key": { "..." },
"message": {
"dataFormat": "raw",
"fields": [
{
"name": "field1",
"type": "BIGINT",
"dataFormat": "LONG",
"mapping": "0"
},
{
"name": "field2",
"type": "INTEGER",
"dataFormat": "INT",
"mapping": "8"
},
{
"name": "field3",
"type": "SMALLINT",
"dataFormat": "LONG",
"mapping": "12"
},
{
"name": "field4",
"type": "VARCHAR(6)",
"dataFormat": "BYTE",
"mapping": "20:26"
}
]
}
}
Columns should be defined in the same order they are mapped. There can be no
gaps or overlaps between column mappings. The width of the column as defined by
the column mapping must be equivalent to the width of the dataFormat
for all
types except for variable width types.
Example insert query for the above table definition:
INSERT INTO example_raw_table (field1, field2, field3, field4)
VALUES (123456789, 123456, 1234, 'abcdef');
Примечание
The raw encoder requires the field size to be known ahead of time, including
for variable width data types like VARCHAR
. It also disallows inserting
values that do not match the width defined in the table definition
file. This is done to ensure correctness, as otherwise longer values are
truncated, and shorter values are read back incorrectly due to an undefined
padding character.
CSV encoder#
The CSV encoder formats the values for each row as a line of
comma-separated-values (CSV) using UTF-8 encoding. The CSV line is formatted
with a comma ,
as the column delimiter.
The type
and mapping
attributes must be defined for each field:
type
- Trino data typemapping
- The integer index of the column in the CSV line (the first column is 0, the second is 1, and so on)
dataFormat
and formatHint
are not supported and must be omitted.
The following Trino data types are supported by the CSV encoder:
BIGINT
INTEGER
SMALLINT
TINYINT
DOUBLE
REAL
BOOLEAN
VARCHAR
/VARCHAR(x)
No other types are supported.
Column values are converted to strings before they are formatted as a CSV line.
The following is an example CSV field definition in a table definition file for a Kafka message:
{
"tableName": "your-table-name",
"schemaName": "your-schema-name",
"topicName": "your-topic-name",
"key": { "..." },
"message": {
"dataFormat": "csv",
"fields": [
{
"name": "field1",
"type": "BIGINT",
"mapping": "0"
},
{
"name": "field2",
"type": "VARCHAR",
"mapping": "1"
},
{
"name": "field3",
"type": "BOOLEAN",
"mapping": "2"
}
]
}
}
Example insert query for the above table definition:
- INSERT INTO example_csv_table (field1, field2, field3)
VALUES (123456789, „example text“, TRUE);
JSON encoder#
The JSON encoder maps table columns to JSON fields defined in the table definition file according to RFC 4627.
For fields, the following attributes are supported:
type
- Trino data type of column.mapping
- A slash-separated list of field names to select a field from the JSON object.dataFormat
- Name of formatter. Required for temporal types.formatHint
- Pattern to format temporal data. Only use withcustom-date-time
formatter.
The following Trino data types are supported by the JSON encoder:
Trino data types |
---|

No other types are supported.
The following dataFormats
are available for temporal data:
iso8601
rfc2822
custom-date-time
- Formats temporal data according to Joda Time pattern given byformatHint
field.milliseconds-since-epoch
seconds-since-epoch
All temporal data in Kafka supports milliseconds precision.
The following table defines which temporal data types are supported by
dataFormats
:

The following is an example JSON field definition in a table definition file for a Kafka message:
{
"tableName": "your-table-name",
"schemaName": "your-schema-name",
"topicName": "your-topic-name",
"key": { "..." },
"message": {
"dataFormat": "json",

},
{
"name": "field3",
"type": "TIMESTAMP",
"dataFormat": "custom-date-time",
"formatHint": "yyyy-dd-MM HH:mm:ss.SSS",
"mapping": "field3"
}
]
}
}
The following shows an example insert query for the preceding table definition:
- INSERT INTO example_json_table (field1, field2, field3)
VALUES (123456789, „example text“, TIMESTAMP „2020-07-15 01:02:03.456“);
Avro encoder#
The Avro encoder serializes rows to Avro records as defined by the Avro schema. Trino does not support schemaless Avro encoding.
Примечание
The Avro schema is encoded with the table column values in each Kafka message.
The dataSchema
must be defined in the table definition file to use the Avro
encoder. It points to the location of the Avro schema file for the key or message.
Avro schema files can be retrieved via HTTP or HTTPS from remote server with the syntax:
"dataSchema": "http://example.org/schema/avro_data.avsc"
Local files need to be available on all Trino nodes and use an absolute path in the syntax, for example:
"dataSchema": "/usr/local/schema/avro_data.avsc"
The following field attributes are supported:
name
- Name of the column in the Trino table.type
- Trino data type of column.mapping
- A slash-separated list of field names to select a field from the Avro schema. If the field specified inmapping
does not exist in the original Avro schema, then a write operation fails.
The following table lists supported Trino data types, which can be used in type
for the equivalent Avro field type.
Trino data type |
Avro data type |
---|---|

No other types are supported.
The following example shows an Avro field definition in a table definition file for a Kafka message:
{
"tableName": "your-table-name",
"schemaName": "your-schema-name",
"topicName": "your-topic-name",
"key": { "..." },
"message":
{
"dataFormat": "avro",
"dataSchema": "/avro_message_schema.avsc",

"type": "VARCHAR",
"mapping": "field2"
},
{
"name": "field3",
"type": "BOOLEAN",
"mapping": "field3"
}
]
}
}
In the following example, an Avro schema definition for the preceding table definition is shown:
{
"type" : "record",
"name" : "example_avro_message",
"namespace" : "io.trino.plugin.kafka",
"fields" :
[
{
"name":"field1",
"type":["null", "long"],

"default": null
},
{
"name":"field3",
"type":["null", "boolean"],
"default": null
}
],
"doc:" : "A basic avro schema"
}
The following is an example insert query for the preceding table definition:
- INSERT INTO example_avro_table (field1, field2, field3)
VALUES (123456789, „example text“, FALSE);
Protobuf encoder#
The Protobuf encoder serializes rows to Protobuf DynamicMessages as defined by the Protobuf schema.
Примечание
The Protobuf schema is encoded with the table column values in each Kafka message.
The dataSchema
must be defined in the table definition file to use the
Protobuf encoder. It points to the location of the proto
file for the key
or message.
Protobuf schema files can be retrieved via HTTP or HTTPS from a remote server with the syntax:
"dataSchema": "http://example.org/schema/schema.proto"
Local files need to be available on all Trino nodes and use an absolute path in the syntax, for example:
"dataSchema": "/usr/local/schema/schema.proto"
The following field attributes are supported:
name
- Name of the column in the Trino table.type
- Trino type of column.mapping
- slash-separated list of field names to select a field from the Protobuf schema. If the field specified inmapping
does not exist in the original Protobuf schema, then a write operation fails.
The following table lists supported Trino data types, which can be used in type
for the equivalent Protobuf field type.

}
}
In the following example, a Protobuf schema definition for the preceding table definition is shown:
syntax = "proto3";
message schema {
uint64 field1 = 1 ;
string field2 = 2;
bool field3 = 3;
}
The following is an example insert query for the preceding table definition:
INSERT INTO example_protobuf_table (field1, field2, field3)
VALUES (123456789, 'example text', FALSE);
Row decoding#
For key and message, a decoder is used to map message and key data onto table columns.
The Kafka connector contains the following decoders:
raw
- Kafka message is not interpreted; ranges of raw message bytes are mapped to table columns.csv
- Kafka message is interpreted as comma separated message, and fields are mapped to table columns.json
- Kafka message is parsed as JSON, and JSON fields are mapped to table columns.avro
- Kafka message is parsed based on an Avro schema, and Avro fields are mapped to table columns.protobuf
- Kafka message is parsed based on a Protobuf schema, and Protobuf fields are mapped to table columns.
Примечание
If no table definition file exists for a table, the dummy
decoder is used,
which does not expose any columns.
Raw decoder#
The raw decoder supports reading of raw byte-based values from Kafka message or key, and converting it into Trino columns.
For fields, the following attributes are supported:
dataFormat
- Selects the width of the data type converted.type
- Trino data type. See table later min this document for list of supported data types.mapping
-<start>[:<end>]
- Start and end position of bytes to convert (optional).
The dataFormat
attribute selects the number of bytes converted.
If absent, BYTE
is assumed. All values are signed.
Supported values are:
BYTE
- one byteSHORT
- two bytes (big-endian)INT
- four bytes (big-endian)LONG
- eight bytes (big-endian)FLOAT
- four bytes (IEEE 754 format)DOUBLE
- eight bytes (IEEE 754 format)
The type
attribute defines the Trino data type on which the value is mapped.
Depending on the Trino type assigned to a column, different values of dataFormat can be used:
Trino data type |
Allowed |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No other types are supported.
The mapping
attribute specifies the range of the bytes in a key or
message used for decoding. It can be one or two numbers separated by a colon (<start>[:<end>]
).
If only a start position is given:
For fixed width types, the column will use the appropriate number of bytes for the specified
dataFormat
(see above).When
VARCHAR
value is decoded, all bytes from start position till the end of the message will be used.
If start and end position are given:
For fixed width types, the size must be equal to number of bytes used by specified
dataFormat
.For
VARCHAR
all bytes between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive) are used.
If no mapping
attribute is specified, it is equivalent to setting start position to 0 and leaving end position undefined.
The decoding scheme of numeric data types (BIGINT
, INTEGER
, SMALLINT
, TINYINT
, DOUBLE
) is straightforward.
A sequence of bytes is read from input message and decoded according to either:
big-endian encoding (for integer types)
IEEE 754 format for (for
DOUBLE
).
Length of decoded byte sequence is implied by the dataFormat
.
For VARCHAR
data type a sequence of bytes is interpreted according to UTF-8
encoding.
CSV decoder#
The CSV decoder converts the bytes representing a message or key into a string using UTF-8 encoding and then interprets the result as a CSV (comma-separated value) line.
For fields, the type
and mapping
attributes must be defined:
type
- Trino data type. See the following table for a list of supported data types.mapping
- The index of the field in the CSV record.
The dataFormat
and formatHint
attributes are not supported and must be omitted.
Table below lists supported Trino types, which can be used in type
and decoding scheme:

No other types are supported.
JSON decoder#
The JSON decoder converts the bytes representing a message or key into a JSON according to RFC 4627. Note that the message or key MUST convert into a JSON object, not an array or simple type.
For fields, the following attributes are supported:
type
- Trino data type of column.dataFormat
- Field decoder to be used for column.mapping
- slash-separated list of field names to select a field from the JSON object.formatHint
- Only forcustom-date-time
.
The JSON decoder supports multiple field decoders, with _default
being
used for standard table columns and a number of decoders for date- and
time-based types.
The following table lists Trino data types, which can be used as in type
, and matching field decoders,
which can be specified via dataFormat
attribute.

No other types are supported.
Default field decoder#
This is the standard field decoder, supporting all the Trino physical data types. A field value is transformed under JSON conversion rules into boolean, long, double or string values. For non-date/time based columns, this decoder should be used.
Date and time decoders#
To convert values from JSON objects into Trino DATE
, TIME
, TIME WITH TIME ZONE
,
TIMESTAMP
or TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
columns, special decoders must be selected using the
dataFormat
attribute of a field definition.
iso8601
- Text based, parses a text field as an ISO 8601 timestamp.rfc2822
- Text based, parses a text field as an RFC 2822 timestamp.custom-date-time
- Text based, parses a text field according to Joda format patternspecified via
formatHint
attribute. Format pattern should conform to https://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html.
milliseconds-since-epoch
- Number-based; interprets a text or number as number of milliseconds since the epoch.seconds-since-epoch
- Number-based; interprets a text or number as number of milliseconds since the epoch.
For TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
and TIME WITH TIME ZONE
data types, if timezone information is present in decoded value, it will
be used as Trino value. Otherwise result time zone will be set to UTC
.
Avro decoder#
The Avro decoder converts the bytes representing a message or key in Avro format based on a schema. The message must have the Avro schema embedded. Trino does not support schemaless Avro decoding.
For key/message, using avro
decoder, the dataSchema
must be defined.
This should point to the location of a valid Avro schema file of the message which needs to be decoded. This location can be a remote web server
(e.g.: dataSchema: 'http://example.org/schema/avro_data.avsc'
) or local file system(e.g.: dataSchema: '/usr/local/schema/avro_data.avsc'
).
The decoder fails if this location is not accessible from the Trino coordinator node.
For fields, the following attributes are supported:
name
- Name of the column in the Trino table.type
- Trino data type of column.mapping
- A slash-separated list of field names to select a field from the Avro schema. If field specified inmapping
does not exist in the original Avro schema, then a read operation returnsNULL
.
The following table lists the supported Trino types which can be used in type
for the equivalent Avro field types:
Trino data type |
Allowed Avro data type |
---|---|
|
|
|

No other types are supported.
Avro schema evolution#
The Avro decoder supports schema evolution feature with backward compatibility. With backward compatibility, a newer schema can be used to read Avro data created with an older schema. Any change in the Avro schema must also be reflected in Trino’s topic definition file. Newly added/renamed fields must have a default value in the Avro schema file.
The schema evolution behavior is as follows:
Column added in new schema: Data created with an older schema produces a default value when the table is using the new schema.
Column removed in new schema: Data created with an older schema no longer outputs the data from the column that was removed.
Column is renamed in the new schema: This is equivalent to removing the column and adding a new one, and data created with an older schema produces a default value when table is using the new schema.
Changing type of column in the new schema: If the type coercion is supported by Avro, then the conversion happens. An error is thrown for incompatible types.
Protobuf decoder#
The Protobuf decoder converts the bytes representing a message or key in Protobuf formatted message based on a schema.
For key/message, using the protobuf
decoder, the dataSchema
must be
defined. It points to the location of a valid proto
file of the message
which needs to be decoded. This location can be a remote web server,
dataSchema: 'http://example.org/schema/schema.proto'
, or local file,
dataSchema: '/usr/local/schema/schema.proto'
. The decoder fails if the
location is not accessible from the coordinator.
For fields, the following attributes are supported:
name
- Name of the column in the Trino table.type
- Trino data type of column.mapping
- slash-separated list of field names to select a field from the Protobuf schema. If field specified inmapping
does not exist in the originalproto
file then a read operation returns NULL.
The following table lists the supported Trino types which can be used in
type
for the equivalent Protobuf field types:

Protobuf schema evolution#
The Protobuf decoder supports the schema evolution feature with backward compatibility. With backward compatibility, a newer schema can be used to read Protobuf data created with an older schema. Any change in the Protobuf schema must also be reflected in the topic definition file.
The schema evolution behavior is as follows:
Column added in new schema: Data created with an older schema produces a default value when the table is using the new schema.
Column removed in new schema: Data created with an older schema no longer outputs the data from the column that was removed.
Column is renamed in the new schema: This is equivalent to removing the column and adding a new one, and data created with an older schema produces a default value when table is using the new schema.
Changing type of column in the new schema: If the type coercion is supported by Protobuf, then the conversion happens. An error is thrown for incompatible types.
Protobuf limitations#
Protobuf specific types like
any
,oneof
are not supported.Protobuf Timestamp has a nanosecond precision but Trino supports decoding/encoding at microsecond precision.
SQL support#
The connector provides read and write access to data and metadata in Trino tables populated by Kafka topics. See Row decoding for more information.
In addition to the globally available and read operation statements, the connector supports the following features:
INSERT, encoded to a specified data format. See also Kafka inserts.
