Over the past few decades, many fundamental changes have been observed to the way a business operates. Systems, processes, workflows, and culture are constantly being evaluated by companies, leading to massive data integration problems. Gone are the days when people completely relied on relational database applications for managing their data. Now, the limited capabilities of relational databases are becoming a hindrance for many companies as it fails to address the issues of data-integration complexity and scalability. So, most of the companies are preferring MarkLogic over Relational database applications. Plus, previously, the migration of data from a relational database to MarkLogic was first translated into ad-hoc code or CSV dumps and then processed by the MarkLogic Content Pump (MLCP). But now Apache NiFi has made it easy to migrate the data from relational to MarkLogic through a code-free approach with guaranteed data delivery. Many Apache NiFi development or consulting companies like Ksolves have taken this approach to provide their clients secure and quick migration solutions.
Make Data Migration Easy with Apache NiFi & Get Guaranteed Data Delivery
Data migration is not an easy task. It requires a lot of effort, time, and money to successfully transfer data from one database to another. But with the help of Apache NiFi, you can easily shift your data to MarkLogic with governance and guaranteed data delivery. The web-based user interface, Apache NiFi, is designed to automate your migrations in a more organized manner between disparate systems. Apache NiFi groups data in two ways. One way is to convert inherently relational rows into smaller documents, and the other way is to group relational data into hierarchical structures using primary/foreign key relationships. Overall, its sole function is to make data ingestion fast, easy, and secure.
Unlike relational databases, MarkLogic stores data as JSON and XML documents and RDF triples, and Apache NiFi smooths the entire migration process, ensuring guaranteed data delivery. Many companies are taking advantage of big data and moving data to MarkLogic, in order to utilize its full potential. With Apache NiFi supporting MarkLogic, data ingestion has become a really easy task. But since this process still takes time and your efforts, taking the help of Apache NiFi Consulting Company, such as Ksolves would be highly recommended.
Benefits of Migrating Data from Relational to MarkLogic
In the 20th century, relational databases seemed to be the universal hammer in every developer’s toolbox, but now its presence has been shattered due to their restricted abilities. Now, many advances have been made to overcome the scalability issue and difficulty in integrating multiple data sources and complex data. One such NoSQL database is MarkLogic. To eliminate the challenges of big data management, MarkLogic has come up with the ability to incorporate multiple technologies into a single, integrated environment. MarkLogic is the most secure multi-model database, can be deployed in any environment, and has an integrated technology stack that includes search, alerts, and geospatial. We have listed some of the benefits of migrating data from relational databases to MarkLogic. Here they are:
-Successful transition
-Safe environment
-Proven software
-Easily handles overlapping datasets
-Scalability
-Integrated Tech Stack
How Apache NiFi Works with MarkLogic
For guaranteed data delivery, Apache NiFi works with MarkLogic the same way it works with other databases. You only need special NiFi processors to get data in and out of MarkLogic for guaranteed data delivery. As of MarkLogic’s latest update, two processors have been built so far. One is QueryMarkLogic and the other is PutMarkLogic.
The QueryMarkLogic processor is used for querying the documents in MarkLogic while the PutMarkLogic processor is used for ingesting the data. Both the processors are built on top of MarkLogic’s data movement SDK.
