Dataset Microservices (Deprecated)

Note: Datasets are deprecated and will be removed in CDAP 7.0.0.

The CDAP Dataset Microservices allows you to interact with datasets through HTTP. You can list, create, delete, and truncate datasets.

All methods or endpoints described in this API have a base URL (typically http://<host>:11015 or https://<host>:10443) that precedes the resource identifier, as described in the Microservices Conventions. These methods return a status code, as listed in the Microservices Status Codes.

Listing all Datasets

You can list all datasets in CDAP by issuing an HTTP GET request to the URL:

GET /v3/namespaces/<namespace-id>/data/datasets

Parameter

Description

The response body will contain a JSON-formatted list of the existing datasets:

{ "name": "cdap.user.purchases", "type": "io.cdap.cdap.api.dataset.lib.ObjectStore", "description": "Purchases Dataset", "properties": { "schema":"...", "type":"..." }, "datasetSpecs": { ... } }

Creating a Dataset

You can create a dataset by issuing an HTTP PUT request to the URL:

PUT /v3/namespaces/<namespace-id>/data/datasets/<dataset-name>

with JSON-formatted name of the dataset type, properties, and description in a body:

Parameter

Body

{"typeName":"io.cdap.cdap.api.dataset.table.Table", "properties":{"dataset.table.ttl":"3600"}, "description":"My Dataset Description", "principal":"user/example.net@EXAMPLEKDC.NET"}

Description

Creates a dataset named mydataset of the type Table in the namespace default with the time-to-live property set to 1 hour, a description of My Dataset Description, owned by the principal identified by user/example.net@EXAMPLEKDC.NET.

Properties of an Existing Dataset

You can retrieve the properties with which a dataset was created or last updated by issuing an HTTP GET request to the URL:

The response, if successful, will contain the JSON-formatted properties:

Note that this returns the original properties that were submitted when the dataset was created or updated. You can use these properties to create a clone of the dataset, or as a basis for updating some properties of this dataset without modifying the remaining properties.

Metadata of an Existing Dataset

You can retrieve the metadata with which a dataset was created by issuing an HTTP GET request to the URL:

Updating an Existing Dataset

You can update an existing dataset's table and properties by issuing an HTTP PUT request to the URL:

with JSON-formatted properties in the body:

Notes:

  • The dataset must already exist.

  • The properties given in this request replace all existing properties; that is, if you have set other properties for this table, such as time-to-live (dataset.table.ttl), you must also include those properties in the update request.

  • You can retrieve the existing properties using the Properties of an Existing Dataset and use that as the basis for constructing your request.

  • Once a dataset has been created, the principal cannot be changed.
