Why teams connect Apache Impala and Atlassian

Get the data locked inside Atlassian into Apache Impala as live tables, and send results back where Atlassian can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Atlassian is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Custom Fields, Workflows and Statuses, Users and Groups, Confluence Pages from Atlassian into tables in Apache Impala continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Impala can also be written back into fields in Atlassian where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Keep Jira and a second tracker (for example a customer's Jira instance) aligned during co-delivery projects.
  • Sync Confluence page metadata into a knowledge index so other tools can link to current documentation.
  • Sync mutable reference data into Kudu tables via Impala so row-level updates are possible on the Hadoop side.
  • Read new partitions incrementally from Parquet tables and land them in a cloud warehouse during migration.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Impala preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Atlassian or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Atlassian's data

Records and events from Atlassian land in Apache Impala as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Atlassian's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between Apache Impala and Atlassian

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.

Apache Impala objects Atlassian objects
Partitions Partition values used to limit scans and drive incremental reads. Confluence Pages Documentation content readable and writable through the Confluence REST API.
Views Logical views readable as modeled sources. Confluence Spaces Namespaces that scope page syncs and permissions.
Kudu Tables Kudu-backed tables that support row-level insert, update, upsert, and delete. Jira Issues The central work item, synced two-way with CRMs, support desks, and other trackers.
External Tables Tables over files loaded by other tools, queryable without data movement. Jira Projects Containers that scope issues, workflows, and permissions for a sync.
Users and Roles Principals (often via Ranger/Sentry) used to grant scoped read access. Boards and Sprints Agile structures read to report on sprint contents and status.
Databases Namespaces shared with the Hive Metastore that scope tables. Issue Comments Threaded discussion synced into linked tickets in external systems.
