Why teams connect Amazon S3 and Cloudera Data Platform

Bridge query-ready tables and stored files: Cloudera Data Platform and Amazon S3 keep the same records in step, in real time, in both directions.

Cloudera Data Platform keeps the tables and query results a business reports on; Amazon S3 keeps the raw files, documents, and objects that the same business produces and shares. The two overlap wherever a dataset lives as both — a file dropped in Amazon S3 that has to become rows in Cloudera Data Platform, or a result in Cloudera Data Platform that people downstream need back as a file in Amazon S3. When that overlap is bridged by manual export and import or an overnight job, one side spends the day working from a stale copy.

Stacksync syncs Kudu tables, Iceberg tables, Views, Partitions in Cloudera Data Platform with Buckets, Objects, Object metadata, Object tags in Amazon S3 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.
  • 02 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.
  • 03 Mirror Objects under a given Bucket and prefix into another bucket, region, or a warehouse external stage for backup or downstream processing.
  • 04 Trigger a database or ERP record update the moment an S3 Event Notification fires an object-created event, for example when a partner drops an EDI or invoice file into an inbound prefix.

Common sync patterns

Where Amazon S3 holds the file inventory: make it queryable

The catalog of documents, owners, and folders in Amazon S3 appears as Kudu tables, Iceberg tables, Views, Partitions in Cloudera Data Platform, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.

Where Cloudera Data Platform computes the labels: push them onto the files

Classifications, scores, or status derived in Cloudera Data Platform are written back onto the matching Buckets, Objects, Object metadata, Object tags in Amazon S3 as metadata or tags, so the file store reflects what analytics decided.

Where Amazon S3 receives the raw files: land them as query-ready rows

Files and exports that arrive in Amazon S3 are parsed into Kudu tables, Iceberg tables, Views, Partitions in Cloudera Data Platform as they land, so analysts query current data instead of waiting on the next scheduled load.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and Cloudera Data Platform

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon S3 objects Cloudera Data Platform objects How this pairing syncs
Object tags Up to 10 key-value tags per object, mutable in place via the tagging API independent of content, so classification and retention labels sync two-way without rewriting files. Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Databases to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object versions When bucket versioning is enabled every write creates a new version ID; prior versions and delete markers are readable for history and audit syncs. Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Object versions is specific to Amazon S3 and Hive tables to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes (folders) Logical path segments in object keys used to scope a sync and to parallelize throughput, since S3 rate limits partition by prefix. Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Prefixes (folders) is specific to Amazon S3 and Impala tables to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Multipart uploads In-progress large-object uploads assembled from parts; objects above ~100 MB (required above 5 GB) are written this way, and incomplete uploads persist until completed or aborted. Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Multipart uploads is specific to Amazon S3 and Kudu tables to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level, region-scoped containers that hold objects; enumerated to discover the namespaces and prefixes a sync should cover. Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Iceberg tables to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects Files stored under a key; content is read with GET and written with PUT, and each object's key/size/ETag/LastModified is the unit indexed into a database. Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. Objects is specific to Amazon S3 and Views to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and Cloudera Data Platform

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Amazon S3 Cloudera Data Platform Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Cloudera Data Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Cloudera Data Platform Amazon S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Cloudera Data Platform for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Amazon S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon S3: S3 sustains at least 3,500 PUT/COPY/POST/DELETE and 5,500 GET/HEAD requests per second per partitioned prefix and scales higher automatically; bursts can return HTTP 503 SlowDown while it repartitions.
  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.

Change detection
S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge; there is no modified-since query, so polling relies on each object's LastModified from ListObjectsV2
