----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Cloning | A feature of Algoreus that allows for continuous low-latency data replication from operational data stores to analytical data warehouses. | | Source | A node that reads changes from a database, table, or column and makes them available for processing in a Cloning job. | | Target | A node that writes changes received from a source into a target database. | | Source properties | Configurations for the source, including connection details, source database and table names, credentials, and other properties. | | Target properties | Configurations for the target, including connection details, target database and table names, credentials, and other properties. | | Cloning Job properties | Configurations for Cloning job including failure thresholds, staging areas, notifications, and validation settings. | | Transformations | Implicit transformations such as column filtering and in-flight transformations such as masking fields and renaming columns. | | Draft | A saved, partially completed Cloning job. | | Events | Changes in the source that are to be cloned to the target. | | Insert | Addition of new records in the source. | | Update | Updates to existing records in the source. | | Delete | Removal of existing records in the source. | | Logs | The operational logs of a Cloning job. | | Cloning Job detail | A detail page with Cloning job information. | | Dashboard | A page that lists the state of all change data capture activities. | *** ### Clone Actions | Concept | Description | | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Deploy | Creating a new Cloning job by specifying a source, target, and their configuration. | | Refresh | Validating a Cloning transformation. | | Save | Saving a partially created Cloning job. | | Delete | Deleting an existing Cloning job. | | Start | Starting a Cloning job. | | Stop | Stopping a Cloning job. | | View logs | Viewing logs of a Cloning job. | | Search | Searching for a Cloning job by its name, description, or other Cloning job metadata. | | Assess | Assessing the impact of Cloning prior to starting Cloning. | *** ### Clone states | Concept | Description | | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Deployed | The Cloning job is deployed, but not started. | | Starting | The Cloning job is initializing, and is not ready to Clone changes. | | Running | The Cloning job is started, and is Cloning changes. | | Stopping | The Cloning job is stopping. | | Stopped | The Cloning job is stopped. | | Failed | The Cloning job failed due to critical errors. | *** ### Table states | Concept | Description | | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Snapshotting | The Cloning job is taking a snapshot of the current state of the table prior to clone changes. | | Cloning | The Cloning job is cloning changes from the source table into the destination table. | | Failing | The Cloning job is failing to clone changes from the source table due to error. | *** ### Metrics | Concept | Description | | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Inserts | The number of inserts applied to the target in the selected time period. | | Updates | The number of updates applied to the target in the selected time period. | | Deletes | The number of deletes applied to the target in the selected time period. | | Throughput | The number of events and the number of bytes cloned to the target in the selected time period. | | Latency | The delay at which data is cloned to the target in the selected time period. | *** ### Components | Component | Description | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Service | Supervises the end-to-end orchestration of Cloning jobs. | | State Management | Manages the state of each Cloning job in a Cloud Storage bucket. | | Execution | Clusters provide the execution environment of Cloning jobs. | | Source Database | Your production operational database that clones into your target database. | | Change Tracking Mechanism | Algoreus relies on a change tracking solution to read changes in the source database. | | Target Database | The destination location for Cloning and analysis. | | Authentication | Varies according to the source database or change tracking software. | *** ### Connectivity | From | To | Optional | Protocol | Network | Auth Security | Purpose | | --------------- | --------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Cloning Service | Source DB | Yes | Depends on Source. JDBC for direct DB connection | Peering + Firewall rules + VPN/Interconnect + Router | DB Login | Needed at design time only, not execution time. | | Delta Service | Cloud | No | Cloud API | VPC-SC | IAM | State Management | | Cluster | Source DB | No | Depends on Source. JDBC for direct DB connection | Peering + Firewall rules + VPN/Interconnect + Router | DB Login | Needed at execution time, for reading changes from source DB to clone them to target | | Cluster | Cloud | No | Cloud API | VPC-SC | IAM | State Management | | Cluster | BigQuery | No | Cloud API | VPC-SC | IAM | Needed at execution time, for applying changes from the source DB to the target | *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.turium.ai/home/algoreus/turium-connector-documentation/turium-fabriq-overview/how-to-guides/clone-replication-user-guide/clone-concepts.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
