Amazon Redshift is a quick, totally managed cloud information warehouse that makes it cost-effective to research your information utilizing customary SQL and enterprise intelligence instruments. You should utilize Amazon Redshift to research structured and semi-structured information and seamlessly question information lakes and operational databases, utilizing AWS designed {hardware} and automatic machine studying (ML)-based tuning to ship top-tier value efficiency at scale.
Amazon Redshift delivers value efficiency proper out of the field. Nonetheless, it additionally affords further optimizations that you should utilize to additional enhance this efficiency and obtain even quicker question response instances out of your information warehouse.
One such optimization for decreasing question runtime is to precompute question ends in the type of a materialized view. Materialized views in Redshift velocity up operating queries on giant tables. That is helpful for queries that contain aggregations and multi-table joins. Materialized views retailer a precomputed outcome set of those queries and in addition assist incremental refresh functionality for native tables.
Prospects use information lake tables to attain value efficient storage and interoperability with different instruments. With open desk codecs (OTFs) similar to Apache Iceberg, information is repeatedly being added and up to date.
Amazon Redshift now supplies the flexibility to incrementally refresh your materialized views on information lake tables together with open file and desk codecs similar to Apache Iceberg.
On this submit, we’ll present you step-by-step what operations are supported on each open file codecs and transactional information lake tables to allow incremental refresh of the materialized view.
Conditions
To stroll by means of the examples on this submit, you want the next conditions:
- You’ll be able to check the incremental refresh of materialized views on customary information lake tables in your account utilizing an present Redshift information warehouse and information lake. Nonetheless, if you wish to check the examples utilizing pattern information, obtain the pattern information. The pattern recordsdata are ‘|’ delimited textual content recordsdata.
- An AWS Identification and Entry Administration (IAM) function connected to Amazon Redshift to grant the minimal permissions required to make use of Redshift Spectrum with Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3) and AWS Glue.
- Set the IAM Position because the default function in Amazon Redshift.
Incremental materialized view refresh on customary information lake tables
On this part, you discover ways to can construct and incrementally refresh materialized views in Amazon Redshift on customary textual content recordsdata in Amazon S3, sustaining information freshness with an economical strategy.
- Add the primary file,
buyer.tbl.1
, downloaded from the Conditions part in your required S3 bucket with the prefixbuyer
. - Connect with your Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup or Redshift provisioned cluster utilizing Question editor v2.
- Create an exterior schema.
- Create an exterior desk named
buyer
within the exterior schemadatalake_mv_demo
created within the previous step. - Validate the pattern information within the exterior buyer.
- Create a materialized view on the exterior desk.
- Validate the information within the materialized view.
- Add a brand new file
buyer.tbl.2
in the identical S3 bucket andbuyer
prefix location. This file incorporates one further document. - Utilizing Question editor v2 , refresh the materialized view
customer_mv
. - Validate the incremental refresh of the materialized view when the brand new file is added.
- Retrieve the present variety of rows current within the materialized view
customer_mv
. - Delete the prevailing file
buyer.tbl.1
from the identical S3 bucket and prefixbuyer
. You need to solely havebuyer.tbl.2
within thebuyer
prefix of your S3 bucket. - Utilizing Question editor v2, refresh the materialized view
customer_mv
once more. - Confirm that the materialized view is refreshed incrementally when the prevailing file is deleted.
- Retrieve the present row rely within the materialized view
customer_mv
. It ought to now have one document as current within thebuyer.tbl.2
file. - Modify the contents of the beforehand downloaded
buyer.tbl.2
file by altering the shopper key from999999999
to111111111
. - Save the modified file and add it once more to the identical S3 bucket, overwriting the prevailing file inside the
buyer
prefix. - Utilizing Question editor v2, refresh the materialized view
customer_mv
- Validate that the materialized view was incrementally refreshed after the information was modified within the file.
- Validate that the information within the materialized view displays your prior information adjustments from
999999999
to111111111
.
Incremental materialized view refresh on Apache Iceberg information lake tables
Apache Iceberg is an information lake open desk format that’s quickly changing into an {industry} customary for managing information in information lakes. Iceberg introduces new capabilities that allow a number of functions to work collectively on the identical information in a transactionally constant method.
On this part, we’ll discover how Amazon Redshift can seamlessly combine with Apache Iceberg. You should utilize this integration to construct materialized views and incrementally refresh them utilizing an economical strategy, sustaining the freshness of the saved information.
- Register to the AWS Administration Console, go to Amazon Athena, and execute the next SQL to create a database in an AWS Glue catalog.
- Create a brand new Iceberg desk
- Add some pattern information to
iceberg_mv_demo.class
. - Validate the pattern information in
iceberg_mv_demo.class
. - Connect with your Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup or Redshift provisioned cluster utilizing Question editor v2.
- Create an exterior schema
- Question the Iceberg desk information from Amazon Redshift.
- Create a materialized view utilizing the exterior schema.
- Validate the information within the materialized view.
- Utilizing Amazon Athena, modify the Iceberg desk
iceberg_mv_demo.class
and insert pattern information. - Utilizing Question editor v2, refresh the materialized view
mv_category
. - Validate the incremental refresh of the materialized view after the extra information was populated within the Iceberg desk.
- Utilizing Amazon Athena, modify the Iceberg desk
iceberg_mv_demo.class
by deleting and updating information. - Validate the pattern information in
iceberg_mv_demo.class
to verify thatcatid=4
has been up to date andcatid=3
has been deleted from the desk. - Utilizing Question editor v2, Refresh the materialized view
mv_category
. - Validate the incremental refresh of the materialized view after one row was up to date and one other was deleted.
Efficiency Enhancements
To know the efficiency enhancements of incremental refresh over full recompute, we used the industry-standard TPC-DS benchmark utilizing 3 TB information units for Iceberg tables configured in copy-on-write. In our benchmark, reality tables are saved on Amazon S3, whereas dimension tables are in Redshift. We created 34 materialized views representing completely different buyer use circumstances on a Redshift provisioned cluster of dimension ra3.4xl with 4 nodes. We utilized 1% inserts and deletes on reality tables, i.e., tables store_sales
, catalog_sales
and web_sales
. We ran the inserts and deletes with Spark SQL on EMR serverless. We refreshed all 34 materialized views utilizing incremental refresh and measured refresh latencies. We repeated the experiment utilizing full recompute.
Our experiments present that incremental refresh supplies substantial efficiency beneficial properties over full recompute. After insertions, incremental refresh was 13.5X quicker on common than full recompute (most 43.8X, minimal 1.8X). After deletions, incremental refresh was 15X quicker on common (most 47X, minimal 1.2X). The next graphs illustrate the latency of refresh.

- Run the next script to scrub up the Apache Iceberg tables utilizing Amazon Athena.
Conclusion
Materialized views on Amazon Redshift could be a highly effective optimization device. With incremental refresh of materialized views on information lake tables, you possibly can retailer pre-computed outcomes of your queries over a number of base tables, offering an economical strategy to sustaining recent information. We encourage you to replace your information lake workloads and use the incremental materialized view characteristic. When you’re new to Amazon Redshift, strive the Getting Began tutorial and use the free trial to create and provision your first cluster and experiment with the characteristic.
