Why teams connect Citus and Cloudera Data Platform

Connect Citus and Cloudera Data Platform with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Citus's rows in Cloudera Data Platform, 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 Citus where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Citus sync into Cloudera Data Platform in real time, and result tables in Cloudera Data Platform sync back into Citus, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.
  • Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Citus land in Cloudera Data Platform as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Cloudera Data Platform sync into Citus, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

What you can sync between Citus 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.

Citus objects Cloudera Data Platform objects
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads.

How the Citus and Cloudera Data Platform connectors work

Citus

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol; any standard Postgres driver connects to the coordinator node
Authentication
Database credentials (standard PostgreSQL authentication; managed deployments add cloud IAM options)
Change detection
PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

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
