Why teams connect AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform

Keep tables consistent across AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger incremental sync runs from S3 event notifications when new files land in a prefix.
  • 02 Stage bulk loads for warehouses that ingest from object storage.
  • 03 Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • 04 Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.

Common sync patterns

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

What you can sync between AWS 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.

AWS S3 objects Cloudera Data Platform objects How this pairing syncs
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Multipart Uploads is specific to AWS S3 and Kudu tables to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level containers a sync targets; region and policy are set at this level. Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Buckets is specific to AWS S3 and Iceberg tables to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. Objects is specific to AWS S3 and Views to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Partitions to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Object Metadata is specific to AWS S3 and Object store / HDFS files to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Object Versions is specific to AWS S3 and Databases to Cloudera Data Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS 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.

AWS S3 Cloudera Data Platform Sub-second propagation

DetectionAWS S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, 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 AWS 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 AWS S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • AWS S3: Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes.
  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
