Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Eloqua

Put modeled data to work and measure what it drives: Cloudera Data Platform and Eloqua keep contacts, audiences, and campaign results in step in real time, in both directions.

Cloudera Data Platform is where your team models customers, product usage, and revenue into trusted tables; Eloqua runs the campaigns, audiences, and messages that reach those people. The two overlap wherever the same person, account, or segment matters to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built list, marketing targets stale data while analytics never sees what the campaign returned.

Stacksync syncs Hive tables, Impala tables, Kudu tables, Iceberg tables in Cloudera Data Platform with Campaigns, Emails, Forms and Form Submits, Contact Lists and Segments in Eloqua field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — a computed score or segment can flow out to Eloqua while sends, opens, and conversions flow back to Cloudera Data Platform — and 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 Two-way sync Contacts between Eloqua and a Postgres or warehouse table, matched on email, so ops teams query and update marketing profiles in SQL while marketers keep working in Eloqua.
  • 04 Export email opens, clicks, form submits, and bounces from the Bulk API Activities export into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.

Common sync patterns

Suppression and consent stay aligned

Unsubscribes, bounces, and consent or opt-out flags held in either system propagate to the other, so no one is messaged after opting out and Cloudera Data Platform holds the current state for auditing.

Enrich records with warehouse context

Product-usage counts, plan tier, region, or account owner computed in Cloudera Data Platform appear on the matching record in Eloqua, so targeting, routing, and personalization use up-to-date context.

Activate a modeled audience

A segment or score built in Cloudera Data Platform — high-intent accounts, churn risk, a lifetime-value tier — lands as an audience or contact field in Eloqua, so campaigns target the people your data actually points to instead of a static export.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform and Eloqua

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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Contact Lists and Segments Shared lists (static) and segments (dynamic audiences); Contacts are added to or removed from shared lists based on lifecycle stage computed downstream. Object store / HDFS files is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Contact Lists and Segments to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Contacts Core person records, keyed on email address as the unique identifier; imported/exported via the Bulk API and upserted on email, synced two-way with CRM, warehouse, and app databases. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Contacts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Accounts Company records linked to Contacts via the account-linkage field; moved through the Bulk API and typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Eloqua. Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Accounts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Custom Data Objects Auxiliary data tables (CDOs) linked to Contacts for records like event registrations or purchases; synced via the Bulk API so nurture campaigns can branch on them. Impala tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Custom Data Objects to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Activities Engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submits, bounces, page views, subscribes/unsubscribes) exported through the Bulk API activities export; read-only feed for scoring and attribution. Kudu tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Activities to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Campaigns to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform and Eloqua

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.

Cloudera Data Platform Eloqua 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 Eloqua through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Eloqua Cloudera Data Platform Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Eloqua for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
  • Eloqua: Per-instance soft limits by sync type (Export 2,000/hr, Import 2,000/hr, Sync Action 4,000/hr); 32 MB cap per POST to a staging area and 50,000 records per retrieve batch.
