Why teams connect Apache Kylin and IBM Db2

Flow Apache Kylin data into IBM Db2 in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Apache Kylin is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into IBM Db2, so IBM Db2 always reflects the current state of Apache Kylin — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM Db2's rows in Apache Kylin, 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 IBM Db2 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Common use cases

  • Sync Kylin aggregates into a cloud warehouse to combine them with data Kylin does not cover.
  • Trigger downstream syncs after segment build jobs complete so consumers only read refreshed data.
  • Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.

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 Apache Kylin and keep IBM Db2 focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from IBM Db2 land in Apache Kylin as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Apache Kylin and IBM Db2

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 Kylin objects IBM Db2 objects
Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables.
Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses.
Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects.
Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases.
Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from. Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync.
Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns.

How the Apache Kylin and IBM Db2 connectors work

Apache Kylin

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC plus a REST API for queries and administration
Authentication
Username/password (HTTP basic authentication on the REST API)
Change detection
Not applicable for row-level capture; data freshness follows segment build and refresh jobs, so integrations poll query results
Capabilities
read
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query capacity depends on the deployment and pre-computed index coverage

IBM Db2

Integration surface
SQL via JDBC/ODBC/CLI drivers; optional REST endpoints in some editions
Authentication
Database credentials, typically backed by OS or LDAP authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed; otherwise polling on timestamp or audit columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings
