Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Gainsight

Get the data locked inside Gainsight into Apache Kylin as live tables, and send results back where Gainsight can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Apache Kylin is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Gainsight, so Gainsight always reflects the current state of Apache Kylin — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Whatever Gainsight is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Expose Kylin query results to operational dashboards without granting access to the underlying Hadoop data.
  • 04 Sync Kylin aggregates into a cloud warehouse to combine them with data Kylin does not cover.

Common sync patterns

Where Gainsight accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Kylin sync back onto records in Gainsight, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Kylin preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Gainsight or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Gainsight's data

Records and events from Gainsight land in Apache Kylin as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and Gainsight

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.

Apache Kylin objects Gainsight objects How this pairing syncs
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Models is specific to Apache Kylin and Company to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Cubes / Indexes is specific to Apache Kylin and Person (People) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Source Tables is specific to Apache Kylin and Relationship to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Segments is specific to Apache Kylin and CTA (Call to Action) to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Build Jobs is specific to Apache Kylin and Scorecard Fact to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Projects is specific to Apache Kylin and Timeline Activity to Gainsight — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Kylin and Gainsight

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.

Apache Kylin Gainsight Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Kylin for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results.

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

Gainsight Apache Kylin Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

DeliveryApache Kylin does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Apache Kylin's output flows back as field updates on the originating Gainsight records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Kylin: No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage.
  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
