Querying Events from Topics using VAST Database Connectors

Prev Next

VAST Event Broker topics can be queried through the VAST Database API, and also using VAST Database connectors (e.g. the connectors for Trino and Spark).

The following Trino example shows the schema (kafka_topics) of the VAST Database used to store event topics, among other schemas on the VAST cluster:

trino> show schemas in vast;
                     Schema                      
-------------------------------------------------
 information_schema                              
 kafka2/kafka_topics                             
 system_schema                                   
 vast-audit-log-bucket/vast_audit_log_schema     
 vast-big-catalog-bucket/vast_big_catalog_schema 
(5 rows)

The following Trino example shows topics within the kafka_topics schema:

trino> show tables in vast."kafka2/kafka_topics";
         Table          
------------------------
 docker-connect-configs 
 docker-connect-offsets 
 docker-connect-status  
 my-new-topic           
 myfirsttopic           
 newtopic               
 streaming-topic
