Hologres:Export data to an OSS data lake with DLF

Last Updated:Mar 25, 2026

When Hologres internal table data is updated and needs to be processed by an external engine, you can use Data Lake Formation (DLF) to write the data directly to Object Storage Service (OSS) through a foreign table, then query it from engines such as E-MapReduce (EMR).

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • DLF activated with the environment configured

  • A Hologres foreign table that can read data from OSS

For setup instructions, see the Procedures section of "Use DLF to read data from and write data to OSS."

Export data to OSS

Note

Supported export formats: ORC, Parquet, CSV, SequenceFile, Hudi, and Paimon.

Step 1: Write data back to OSS

Run the following SQL statement to insert data from a Hologres internal table into OSS through the foreign table:

INSERT INTO <foreign_table_name>(<col_name>,......) SELECT <col_name>,...... FROM <holo_table_name>;
ParameterDescription
foreign_table_nameThe name of the foreign table
holo_table_nameThe name of the Hologres internal table
col_nameThe name of a column

Step 2: Query the written data

After the data is written back to OSS, run the following SQL statement in the Hive or Spark engine of EMR to query the written data:

SELECT * FROM <foreign_table_name> WHERE <col_name> = value;

If a success message is returned, Hologres has written the data back to OSS and EMR can read it.
