Datasets

NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission website

  • yellow_tripdata_2022-01.parquet
  • taxi_zone.csv

Dataset have already been downloaded and are available in the data directory.

The file seed_kafka.py contains the logic to process the data and populate RisingWave.

In this workshop, we will replace the timestamp fields in the trip_data with timestamps close to the current time. That's because yellow_tripdata_2022-01.parquet contains historical data from 2022, and we want to simulate processing real-time data.

Getting Started

Before getting your hands dirty with the project, we will:

  1. Run some diagnostics.
  2. Start the RisingWave cluster.
  3. Setup our python environment.

# Check version of psql
psql --version
source commands.sh

# Start the RW cluster
start-cluster

# Setup python
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

commands.sh contains several commands to operate the cluster. You may reference it to see what commands are available.

Workshop (Stream Processing in SQL with RisingWave)

Source

image

These two commands shoudl be run every time opening a new terminal.

source .venv/bin/activate

source commands.sh

Starts the risingwave cluster

start-cluster() {
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
}

start-cluster

image

Seed trip data from the parquet file

stream-kafka() {
./seed_kafka.py update
}

stream-kafka

image

Now we can let that run in the background.

Let's open another terminal to create the trip_data table:

source commands.sh
psql -f risingwave-sql/table/trip_data.sql

image

psql -c 'SHOW TABLES;'

Stream Processing with Materialized Views in RisingWave

Validating the ingested data

Now we are ready to begin processing the real-time stream being ingested into RisingWave!

The first thing we will do is to check taxi_zone and trip_data, to make sure the data has been ingested correctly.

Let's start a psql session.

source commands.sh
psql

image

First, we verify taxi_zone, since this is static data:

SELECT * FROM taxi_zone;

image

We will also query for recent data, to ensure we are getting real-time data.

SELECT pulocationid, dolocationid, tpep_pickup_datetime, tpep_dropoff_datetime
FROM trip_data WHERE tpep_dropoff_datetime > now() - interval '1 minute';

image

We can join this with taxi_zone to get the names of the zones.

SELECT taxi_zone.Zone as pickup_zone, taxi_zone_1.Zone as dropoff_zone, tpep_pickup_datetime, tpep_dropoff_datetime
FROM trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
JOIN taxi_zone as taxi_zone_1 ON trip_data.DOLocationID = taxi_zone_1.location_id
WHERE tpep_dropoff_datetime > now() - interval '1 minute';

image

And finally make it into an MV so we can constantly query the latest realtime data:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW latest_1min_trip_data AS
SELECT taxi_zone.Zone as pickup_zone, taxi_zone_1.Zone as dropoff_zone, tpep_pickup_datetime, tpep_dropoff_datetime
FROM trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
JOIN taxi_zone as taxi_zone_1 ON trip_data.DOLocationID = taxi_zone_1.location_id
WHERE tpep_dropoff_datetime > now() - interval '1 minute';

image

We can now query the MV to see the latest data:

SELECT * FROM latest_1min_trip_data order by tpep_dropoff_datetime DESC;

image

Now we can start processing the data with Materialized Views, to provide analysis of the data stream!

Materialized View 1: Total Airport Pickups

The first materialized view we create will be to count the total number of pickups at the airports.

This is rather simple, we just need to filter the PULocationID to the airport IDs.

Recall taxi_zone contains metadata around the taxi zones, so we can use that to figure out the airport zones.

describe taxi_zone;

image

Let's first get the zone names by looking at the taxi_zone table:

SELECT * FROM taxi_zone WHERE Zone LIKE '%Airport';

image

Then we can simply join on their location ids to get all the trips:

    SELECT
*
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE taxi_zone.Zone LIKE '%Airport';

image

And finally apply the count(*) aggregation for each airport.

    SELECT
count(*) AS cnt,
taxi_zone.Zone
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE taxi_zone.Zone LIKE '%Airport'
GROUP BY taxi_zone.Zone;

image

We can now create a Materialized View to constantly query the latest data:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW total_airport_pickups AS
SELECT
count(*) AS cnt,
taxi_zone.Zone
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE taxi_zone.Zone LIKE '%Airport'
GROUP BY taxi_zone.Zone;

image

We can now query the MV to see the latest data:

SELECT * FROM total_airport_pickups;

image

So what actually happens for the MV?

We can examine the query plan to see what's happening:

EXPLAIN CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW total_airport_pickups AS
SELECT
count(*) AS cnt,
taxi_zone.Zone
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE taxi_zone.Zone LIKE '%Airport'
GROUP BY taxi_zone.Zone;

image

Go to your local RisingWave Dashboard to see the query plan.

Provided a simplified a simpler version here:

image

Materialized View 2: Airport pickups from JFK Airport, 1 hour before the latest pickup

We can adapt the previous MV to create a more specific one. We no longer need the GROUP BY, since we are only interested in 1 taxi zone, JFK Airport.

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW airport_pu as
SELECT
tpep_pickup_datetime,
pulocationid
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE
taxi_zone.Borough = 'Queens'
AND taxi_zone.Zone = 'JFK Airport';

image

Next, we also want to keep track of the latest pickup

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW latest_jfk_pickup AS
SELECT
max(tpep_pickup_datetime) AS latest_pickup_time
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE
taxi_zone.Borough = 'Queens'
AND taxi_zone.Zone = 'JFK Airport';

image

Finally, let's get the counts of the pickups from JFK Airport, 1 hour before the latest pickup

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW jfk_pickups_1hr_before AS
SELECT
count(*) AS cnt
FROM
airport_pu
JOIN latest_jfk_pickup
ON airport_pu.tpep_pickup_datetime > latest_jfk_pickup.latest_pickup_time - interval '1 hour'
JOIN taxi_zone
ON airport_pu.PULocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE
taxi_zone.Borough = 'Queens'
AND taxi_zone.Zone = 'JFK Airport';

image

Simplified query plan:

image

Materialized View 3: Top 10 busiest zones in the last 1 minute

First we can write a query to get the counts of the pickups from each zone.

SELECT
taxi_zone.Zone AS dropoff_zone,
count(*) AS last_1_min_dropoff_cnt
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.DOLocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
GROUP BY
taxi_zone.Zone
ORDER BY last_1_min_dropoff_cnt DESC
LIMIT 10;

image

Next, we can create a temporal filter to get the counts of the pickups from each zone in the last 1 minute.

That has the form:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW busiest_zones_1_min AS SELECT
taxi_zone.Zone AS dropoff_zone,
count(*) AS last_1_min_dropoff_cnt
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone
ON trip_data.DOLocationID = taxi_zone.location_id
WHERE
trip_data.tpep_dropoff_datetime > (NOW() - INTERVAL '1' MINUTE)
GROUP BY
taxi_zone.Zone
ORDER BY last_1_min_dropoff_cnt DESC
LIMIT 10;

image

Materialized View 4: Longest trips

Here, the concept is similar as the previous MV, but we are interested in the top 10 longest trips for the last 5 min.

First we create the query to get the longest trips:

SELECT
tpep_pickup_datetime,
tpep_dropoff_datetime,
taxi_zone_pu.Zone as pickup_zone,
taxi_zone_do.Zone as dropoff_zone,
trip_distance
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone as taxi_zone_pu
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone_pu.location_id
JOIN taxi_zone as taxi_zone_do
ON trip_data.DOLocationID = taxi_zone_do.location_id
ORDER BY
trip_distance DESC
LIMIT 10;

image

Then we can create a temporal filter to get the longest trips for the last 5 minutes:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW longest_trip_1_min AS SELECT
tpep_pickup_datetime,
tpep_dropoff_datetime,
taxi_zone_pu.Zone as pickup_zone,
taxi_zone_do.Zone as dropoff_zone,
trip_distance
FROM
trip_data
JOIN taxi_zone as taxi_zone_pu
ON trip_data.PULocationID = taxi_zone_pu.location_id
JOIN taxi_zone as taxi_zone_do
ON trip_data.DOLocationID = taxi_zone_do.location_id
WHERE
trip_data.tpep_pickup_datetime > (NOW() - INTERVAL '5' MINUTE)
ORDER BY
trip_distance DESC
LIMIT 10;

image

After this, you may run the visualization dashboard to see the data in real-time.

Start the backend which queries RisingWave:

./server.py

Visualize Data from Materialized View 3 and 4

Start the frontend, in a separate terminal, if you're on OSX:

open index.html

Start the frontend, in a separate terminal, if you're on linux:

xdg-open index.html

Materialized View 5: Average Fare Amount vs Number of rides

How does avg_fare_amt change relative to number of pickups per minute?

We use something known as a tumble window function, to compute this.

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW avg_fare_amt AS
SELECT
avg(fare_amount) AS avg_fare_amount_per_min,
count(*) AS num_rides_per_min,
window_start,
window_end
FROM
TUMBLE(trip_data, tpep_pickup_datetime, INTERVAL '1' MINUTE)
GROUP BY
window_start, window_end
ORDER BY
num_rides_per_min ASC;

For each window we compute the average fare amount and the number of rides.

That's all for the materialized views!

Now we will see how to sink the data out from RisingWave.

How to sink data from RisingWave to Clickhouse

Reference:

  • https://docs.risingwave.com/docs/current/data-delivery/
  • https://docs.risingwave.com/docs/current/sink-to-clickhouse/

We have done some simple analytics and processing of the data in RisingWave.

Now we want to sink the data out to Clickhouse, for further analysis.

We will create a Clickhouse table to store the data from the materialized views.

Open n anew termina.

image

source commands.sh
clickhouse-client-term

image

CREATE TABLE avg_fare_amt(
avg_fare_amount_per_min numeric,
num_rides_per_min Int64,
) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree
PRIMARY KEY (avg_fare_amount_per_min, num_rides_per_min);

image

We will create a Clickhouse sink to sink the data from the materialized views to the Clickhouse table.

CREATE SINK IF NOT EXISTS avg_fare_amt_sink AS SELECT avg_fare_amount_per_min, num_rides_per_min FROM avg_fare_amt
WITH (
connector = 'clickhouse',
type = 'append-only',
clickhouse.url = 'http://clickhouse:8123',
clickhouse.user = '',
clickhouse.password = '',
clickhouse.database = 'default',
clickhouse.table='avg_fare_amt',
force_append_only = 'true'
);

image

Now we can run queries on the data ingested into clickhouse:

clickhouse-client-term

Run some queries in Clickhouse

select max(avg_fare_amount_per_min) from avg_fare_amt;

image

select min(avg_fare_amount_per_min) from avg_fare_amt;
