Why teams connect Apache Kylin and Google Cloud Spanner

Flow Apache Kylin data into Google Cloud Spanner in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

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

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Google Cloud Spanner's rows in Apache Kylin, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Google Cloud Spanner where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Common use cases

  • Sync Kylin aggregates into a cloud warehouse to combine them with data Kylin does not cover.
  • Trigger downstream syncs after segment build jobs complete so consumers only read refreshed data.
  • Push billing or entitlement changes from finance tools into Spanner tables the application reads at runtime.
  • Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Google Cloud Spanner land in Apache Kylin as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Apache Kylin sync into Google Cloud Spanner, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and Google Cloud Spanner

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 Google Cloud Spanner objects
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets.
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key.
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records.
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner.

How the Apache Kylin and Google Cloud Spanner connectors work

Apache Kylin

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC plus a REST API for queries and administration
Authentication
Username/password (HTTP basic authentication on the REST API)
Change detection
Not applicable for row-level capture; data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results
Capabilities
read
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage

Google Cloud Spanner

Integration surface
gRPC/REST client API with SQL query surface (GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL-interface dialects)
Authentication
Google Cloud IAM (service accounts)
Change detection
Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
