Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Google Cloud Spanner

Connect Google Cloud Spanner and Cloudera Data Platform with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Google Cloud Spanner's rows in Cloudera Data Platform, 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.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Google Cloud Spanner sync into Cloudera Data Platform in real time, and result tables in Cloudera Data Platform sync back into Google Cloud Spanner, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.
  • 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.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Cloudera Data Platform and keep Google Cloud Spanner focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Google Cloud Spanner objects
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets.
Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key.
Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads. Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records.
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner.

How the Cloudera Data Platform and Google Cloud Spanner connectors work

Cloudera Data Platform

Integration surface
JDBC/ODBC over Hive and Impala SQL endpoints, plus REST management APIs
Authentication
Kerberos, LDAP, or workload user credentials, often brokered through the Knox gateway
Change detection
Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns; no consumer-facing change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits

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.
