    Dataphin:Create an Aliyun HBase data source

    Last Updated:May 28, 2025

    By creating an Aliyun HBase data source, you can enable Dataphin to read business data from Aliyun HBase or write data to Aliyun HBase. This topic describes how to create an Aliyun HBase data source.

    Background information

    Aliyun HBase, also known as ApsaraDB for HBase, is a low-cost, highly scalable, and cloud-intelligent NoSQL database. It is compatible with standard HBase access protocols and provides core capabilities such as low-cost storage, high-throughput scalability, and intelligent data processing. It also offers enterprise capabilities such as PB-scale storage, high concurrency, second-level scaling, millisecond response, cross-data center high availability, fully managed service, and global distribution.

    If you are using ApsaraDB for HBase and want to connect it to Dataphin for data development, you need to first create an Aliyun HBase data source. For more information about ApsaraDB for HBase, see What is ApsaraDB for HBase.

    Permissions

    Only custom global roles with the Create Data Source permission and system roles such as super administrator, data source administrator, domain architect, and project administrator can create data sources.

    Procedure

    1. On the Dataphin homepage, click Management Center > Datasource Management in the top navigation bar.

    2. On the Datasource page, click +Create Data Source.

    3. In the Create Data Source page, select Aliyun HBase from the NoSQL section.

      If you have recently used Aliyun HBase, you can also select it from the Recently Used section. You can also quickly search for Aliyun HBase by entering keywords in the search box.

    4. On the Create Aliyun HBase Data Source page, configure the connection parameters.

      1. Configure the basic information of the data source.

        Parameter

        Description

        Datasource Name

        The name must meet the following requirements:

        • It can contain only Chinese characters, letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

        • It cannot exceed 64 characters in length.

        Datasource Code

        After you configure the data source code, you can reference tables in the data source in Flink_SQL tasks by using the format data source code.table name or data source code.schema.table name. If you need to automatically access the data source in the corresponding environment based on the current environment, use the variable format ${data source code}.table or ${data source code}.schema.table. For more information, see Dataphin data source table development method.

        Important

        • The data source code cannot be modified after it is configured successfully.

        • After the data source code is configured successfully, you can preview data on the object details page in the asset directory and asset inventory.

        • In Flink SQL, only MySQL, Hologres, MaxCompute, Oracle, StarRocks, Hive, and SelectDB data sources are currently supported.

        Data Source Description

        A brief description of the data source. It cannot exceed 128 characters.

        Data Source Configuration

        Select the data source to be configured:

        • If the business data source distinguishes between production and development data sources, select Production + Development Data Source.

        • If the business data source does not distinguish between production and development data sources, select Production Data Source.

        Tag

        You can categorize and tag data sources based on tags. For information about how to create tags, see Manage data source tags.

      2. Configure the connection parameters between the data source and Dataphin.

        If you selected Production + Development Data Source in the previous step, the configuration page appears as shown in the following figure. If you selected Production Data Source, only the production data source configuration page is displayed.

        Note

        Typically, production and development data sources should be configured as separate data sources to isolate the development environment from the production environment and reduce the impact of the development data source on the production data source. However, Dataphin also supports configuring them as the same data source with identical parameter values.

        Parameter

        Description

        Service Type

        Select the corresponding service type based on your HBase data source.

        Version

        Select the major version number of your Alibaba Cloud HBase instance. You can check the major version number on the Database Connection page in the Alibaba Cloud HBase console.

        zkQuorum

        Configure the connection address of the Alibaba Cloud HBase instance. We recommend that you use the VPC connection address. You can view the connection address on the Database Connection page in the Alibaba Cloud HBase console.

    5. Select a Default Resource Group, which is used to run tasks related to the current data source, including database SQL, offline database migration, and data preview.

    6. Click Test Connection or directly click OK to save and complete the creation of the Aliyun HBase data source.

      When you click Test Connection, the system tests whether the data source can connect to Dataphin normally. If you directly click OK, the system automatically tests the connection for all selected clusters. However, even if all selected clusters fail the connection test, the data source can still be created normally.
