Why teams connect AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform

Keep tables consistent across AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Trigger incremental sync runs from S3 event notifications when new files land in a prefix.
  • Stage bulk loads for warehouses that ingest from object storage.
  • 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.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

What you can sync between AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform

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.

AWS S3 objects Cloudera Data Platform objects
Multipart Uploads The mechanism used to write large export files reliably. Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes.
Buckets Top-level containers a sync targets; region and policy are set at this level. Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads.
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs.

How the AWS S3 and Cloudera Data Platform connectors work

AWS S3

Integration surface
REST API (the S3 API), accessed directly or through AWS SDKs
Authentication
AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 signing; commonly a role scoped to specific buckets and prefixes
Change detection
S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge; list-based polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes

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
