# SDK Guide

CarbonData provides SDK to facilitate

1. [Writing carbondata files from other application which does not use Spark](#sdk-writer)
2. [Reading carbondata files from other application which does not use Spark](#sdk-reader)

# SDK Writer

In the carbon jars package, there exist a carbondata-store-sdk-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar, including SDK writer and reader. 
If user want to use SDK, except carbondata-store-sdk-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar, 
it needs carbondata-core-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar, carbondata-common-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar, 
carbondata-format-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar, carbondata-hadoop-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar and carbondata-processing-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar.
What's more, user also can use carbondata-sdk.jar directly.

This SDK writer, writes carbondata file and carbonindex file at a given path.
External client can make use of this writer to convert other format data or live data to create carbondata and index files.
These SDK writer output contains just carbondata and carbonindex files. No metadata folder will be present.

## Quick example

### Example with csv format 

```java
import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.carbondata.common.exceptions.sql.InvalidLoadOptionException;
import org.apache.carbondata.core.metadata.datatype.DataTypes;
import org.apache.carbondata.core.util.CarbonProperties;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.CarbonWriter;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.CarbonWriterBuilder;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.Field;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.Schema;

public class TestSdk {

  // pass true or false while executing the main to use offheap memory or not
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InvalidLoadOptionException {
    if (args.length > 0 && args[0] != null) {
      testSdkWriter(args[0]);
    } else {
      testSdkWriter("true");
    }
  }

  public static void testSdkWriter(String enableOffheap) throws IOException, InvalidLoadOptionException {
    String path = "./target/testCSVSdkWriter";

    Field[] fields = new Field[2];
    fields[0] = new Field("name", DataTypes.STRING);
    fields[1] = new Field("age", DataTypes.INT);

    Schema schema = new Schema(fields);

    CarbonProperties.getInstance().addProperty("enable.offheap.sort", enableOffheap);

    CarbonWriterBuilder builder = CarbonWriter.builder().outputPath(path).withCsvInput(schema).writtenBy("SDK");

    CarbonWriter writer = builder.build();

    int rows = 5;
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
      writer.write(new String[] { "robot" + (i % 10), String.valueOf(i) });
    }
    writer.close();
  }
}
```

### Example with Avro format
```java
import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.carbondata.common.exceptions.sql.InvalidLoadOptionException;
import org.apache.carbondata.core.metadata.datatype.DataTypes;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.AvroCarbonWriter;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.CarbonWriter;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.Field;

import org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData;
import org.apache.commons.lang.CharEncoding;

import tech.allegro.schema.json2avro.converter.JsonAvroConverter;

public class TestSdkAvro {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InvalidLoadOptionException {
    testSdkWriter();
  }


  public static void testSdkWriter() throws IOException, InvalidLoadOptionException {
    String path = "./AvroCarbonWriterSuiteWriteFiles";
    // Avro schema
    String avroSchema =
        "{" +
            "   \"type\" : \"record\"," +
            "   \"name\" : \"Acme\"," +
            "   \"fields\" : ["
            + "{ \"name\" : \"fname\", \"type\" : \"string\" },"
            + "{ \"name\" : \"age\", \"type\" : \"int\" }]" +
            "}";

    String json = "{\"fname\":\"bob\", \"age\":10}";

    // conversion to GenericData.Record
    JsonAvroConverter converter = new JsonAvroConverter();
    GenericData.Record record = converter.convertToGenericDataRecord(
        json.getBytes(CharEncoding.UTF_8), new org.apache.avro.Schema.Parser().parse(avroSchema));

    try {
      CarbonWriter writer = CarbonWriter.builder()
          .outputPath(path)
          .withAvroInput(new org.apache.avro.Schema.Parser().parse(avroSchema)).writtenBy("SDK").build();

      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        writer.write(record);
      }
      writer.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
```

### Example with Json format
```java
import java.io.IOException;
 
import org.apache.carbondata.common.exceptions.sql.InvalidLoadOptionException;
import org.apache.carbondata.core.metadata.datatype.DataTypes;
import org.apache.carbondata.core.util.CarbonProperties;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.CarbonWriter;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.CarbonWriterBuilder;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.Field;
import org.apache.carbondata.sdk.file.Schema;
 
public class TestSdkJson {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws InvalidLoadOptionException {
       testJsonSdkWriter();
   }
   
   public static void testJsonSdkWriter() throws InvalidLoadOptionException {
    String path = "./target/testJsonSdkWriter";

    Field[] fields = new Field[2];
    fields[0] = new Field("name", DataTypes.STRING);
    fields[1] = new Field("age", DataTypes.INT);

    Schema CarbonSchema = new Schema(fields);

    CarbonWriterBuilder builder = CarbonWriter.builder().outputPath(path).withJsonInput(CarbonSchema).writtenBy("SDK");

    // initialize json writer with carbon schema
    CarbonWriter writer = builder.build();
    // one row of json Data as String
    String  JsonRow = "{\"name\":\"abcd\", \"age\":10}";

    int rows = 5;
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
      writer.write(JsonRow);
    }
    writer.close();
  }
} 
```

## Datatypes Mapping
Each of SQL data types and Avro Data Types are mapped into data types of SDK. Following are the mapping:

| SQL DataTypes | Avro DataTypes | Mapped SDK DataTypes |
|---------------|----------------|----------------------|
| BOOLEAN | BOOLEAN | DataTypes.BOOLEAN |
| SMALLINT |  -  | DataTypes.SHORT |
| INTEGER | INTEGER | DataTypes.INT |
| BIGINT | LONG | DataTypes.LONG |
| DOUBLE | DOUBLE | DataTypes.DOUBLE |
| VARCHAR |  -  | DataTypes.STRING |
| FLOAT | FLOAT | DataTypes.FLOAT |
| BYTE |  -  | DataTypes.BYTE |
| DATE | DATE | DataTypes.DATE |
| TIMESTAMP |  -  | DataTypes.TIMESTAMP |
| STRING | STRING | DataTypes.STRING |
| DECIMAL | DECIMAL | DataTypes.createDecimalType(precision, scale) |
| ARRAY | ARRAY | DataTypes.createArrayType(elementType) |
| STRUCT | RECORD | DataTypes.createStructType(fields) |
|  -  | ENUM | DataTypes.STRING |
|  -  | UNION | DataTypes.createStructType(types) |
|  -  | MAP | DataTypes.createMapType(keyType, valueType) |
|  -  | TimeMillis | DataTypes.INT |
|  -  | TimeMicros | DataTypes.LONG |
|  -  | TimestampMillis | DataTypes.TIMESTAMP |
|  -  | TimestampMicros | DataTypes.TIMESTAMP |

**NOTE:**
 1. Carbon Supports below logical types of AVRO.
 a. Date
    The date logical type represents a date within the calendar, with no reference to a particular time zone or time of day.
    A date logical type annotates an Avro int, where the int stores the number of days from the unix epoch, 1 January 1970 (ISO calendar). 
 b. Timestamp (millisecond precision)
    The timestamp-millis logical type represents an instant on the global timeline, independent of a particular time zone or calendar, with a precision of one millisecond.
    A timestamp-millis logical type annotates an Avro long, where the long stores the number of milliseconds from the unix epoch, 1 January 1970 00:00:00.000 UTC.
 c. Timestamp (microsecond precision)
    The timestamp-micros logical type represents an instant on the global timeline, independent of a particular time zone or calendar, with a precision of one microsecond.
    A timestamp-micros logical type annotates an Avro long, where the long stores the number of microseconds from the unix epoch, 1 January 1970 00:00:00.000000 UTC.
 d. Decimal
    The decimal logical type represents an arbitrary-precision signed decimal number of the form unscaled × 10-scale.
    A decimal logical type annotates Avro bytes or fixed types. The byte array must contain the two's-complement representation of the unscaled integer value in big-endian byte order. The scale is fixed, and is specified using an attribute.
 e. Time (millisecond precision)
    The time-millis logical type represents a time of day, with no reference to a particular calendar, time zone or date, with a precision of one millisecond.
    A time-millis logical type annotates an Avro int, where the int stores the number of milliseconds after midnight, 00:00:00.000.
 f. Time (microsecond precision)
    The time-micros logical type represents a time of day, with no reference to a particular calendar, time zone or date, with a precision of one microsecond.
    A time-micros logical type annotates an Avro long, where the long stores the number of microseconds after midnight, 00:00:00.000000.

    
    Currently the values of logical types are not validated by carbon. 
    Expect that avro record passed by the user is already validated by avro record generator tools.    
 2. If the string data is more than 32K in length, use withTableProperties() with "long_string_columns" property
    or directly use DataTypes.VARCHAR if it is carbon schema.
 3. Avro Bytes, Fixed and Duration data types are not yet supported.
## Run SQL on files directly
Instead of creating table and query it, you can also query that file directly with SQL.

### Example
```
SELECT * FROM carbonfile.`$Path`
```

# SDK Reader
This SDK reader reads CarbonData file and carbonindex file at a given path.
External client can make use of this reader to read CarbonData files without CarbonSession.
## Quick example
```
// 1. Create carbon reader
String path = "./testWriteFiles";
CarbonReader reader = CarbonReader
    .builder(path, "_temp")
    .projection(new String[]{"stringField", "shortField", "intField", "longField", 
            "doubleField", "boolField", "dateField", "timeField", "decimalField"})
    .build();

// 2. Read data
long day = 24L * 3600 * 1000;
int i = 0;
while (reader.hasNext()) {
    Object[] row = (Object[]) reader.readNextRow();
    System.out.println(String.format("%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t",
