Databricks
Overview
Sortment lets you pull data stored in your Databricks warehouse and use it to create schema.
Configuring Databricks in Sortment
The credentials needed to connect to your cluster can be found in the ODBC options in your databricks account. Enter the following required fields into Sortment:
Server hostname: To find your server hostname, visit the Databricks web console and locate your cluster. Then, click to reveal Advanced options and navigate to the JDBC/ ODBC tab.
HTTP path: To find your HTTP path, visit the Databricks web console and locate your cluster. Then, click to reveal Advanced options and navigate to the JDBC/ ODBC tab.
Personal Access Token: To get your personal access token from user settings in Databricks, open Settings by clicking the cog ⚙️ in the sidebar and select User settings. Click Generate token. You'll be asked to enter a name and expiry. Copy the token and put it in Sortment.
Catalog name: Catalog shared here will be used by Sortment to publish audiences and campaigns data back into your Databricks account.
Database: The tables shared in the database will be available to be used in Sortment.
Test your connection
When setting up a source for the first time, Sortment validates the following:
Network connectivity
Databricks credentials
Permission to list schemas and tables
Permission to write to the catalog
Some sources may initially fail connection tests due to timeouts. Once a connection is established, subsequent API requests should happen more quickly, so it's best to retry tests if they first fail. You can do this by clicking Test again.
Blob setup for Databricks
Once you've saved these Databricks credentials, you're ready to set up the blob credentials in Sortment. Blob storage helps to move data out from your warehouse to messaging provider. This is also used to batch events coming from campaigns before they are sent back into your warehouse for analytics.
