Create an Event Hub data connection for Azure Synapse Data Explorer by using Python (Preview)

  • Grein

Azure Synapse Data Explorer is a fast and highly scalable data exploration service for log and telemetry data. Azure Synapse Data Explorer offers ingestion (data loading) from Event Hubs, IoT Hubs, and blobs written to blob containers.

In this article, you create an Event Hub data connection for Azure Synapse Data Explorer by using Python.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription. Create a free Azure account.

  • Create a Data Explorer pool using Synapse Studio or the Azure portal

  • Create a Data Explorer database.

    1. In Synapse Studio, on the left-side pane, select Data.

    2. Select + (Add new resource) > Data Explorer pool, and use the following information:

      Setting Suggested value Description
      Pool name contosodataexplorer The name of the Data Explorer pool to use
      Name TestDatabase The database name must be unique within the cluster.
      Default retention period 365 The time span (in days) for which it's guaranteed that the data is kept available to query. The time span is measured from the time that data is ingested.
      Default cache period 31 The time span (in days) for which to keep frequently queried data available in SSD storage or RAM, rather than in longer-term storage.

    3. Select Create to create the database. Creation typically takes less than a minute.

Create a table on your test cluster

Create a table named StormEvents that matches the schema of the data in the StormEvents.csv file.

Tip

The following code snippets create an instance of a client for almost every call. This is done to make each snippet individually runnable. In production, the client instances are reentrant, and should be kept as long as needed. A single client instance per URI is sufficient, even when working with multiple databases (database can be specified on a command level).

var databaseName = "<DatabaseName>";
var table = "StormEvents";
using (var kustoClient = KustoClientFactory.CreateCslAdminProvider(kustoConnectionStringBuilder))
{
    var command =
        CslCommandGenerator.GenerateTableCreateCommand(
            table,
            new[]
            {
                Tuple.Create("StartTime", "System.DateTime"),
                Tuple.Create("EndTime", "System.DateTime"),
                Tuple.Create("EpisodeId", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("EventId", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("State", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("EventType", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("InjuriesDirect", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("InjuriesIndirect", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("DeathsDirect", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("DeathsIndirect", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("DamageProperty", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("DamageCrops", "System.Int32"),
                Tuple.Create("Source", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("BeginLocation", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("EndLocation", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("BeginLat", "System.Double"),
                Tuple.Create("BeginLon", "System.Double"),
                Tuple.Create("EndLat", "System.Double"),
                Tuple.Create("EndLon", "System.Double"),
                Tuple.Create("EpisodeNarrative", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("EventNarrative", "System.String"),
                Tuple.Create("StormSummary", "System.Object"),
            });

    kustoClient.ExecuteControlCommand(databaseName, command);
}

Define ingestion mapping

Map the incoming CSV data to the column names used when creating the table. Provision a CSV column mapping object on that table.

var tableMapping = "StormEvents_CSV_Mapping";
using (var kustoClient = KustoClientFactory.CreateCslAdminProvider(kustoConnectionStringBuilder))
{
    var command =
        CslCommandGenerator.GenerateTableMappingCreateCommand(
            Data.Ingestion.IngestionMappingKind.Csv,
            table,
            tableMapping,
            new[] {
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "StartTime", Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "0" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EndTime", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "1" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EpisodeId", Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "2" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EventId", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "3" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "State", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "4" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EventType", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "5" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "InjuriesDirect", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "6" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "InjuriesIndirect", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "7" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "DeathsDirect", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "8" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "DeathsIndirect", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "9" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "DamageProperty", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "10" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "DamageCrops", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "11" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "Source", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "12" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "BeginLocation", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "13" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EndLocation", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "14" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "BeginLat", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "15" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "BeginLon", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "16" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EndLat", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "17" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EndLon", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "18" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EpisodeNarrative", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "19" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "EventNarrative", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "20" } } },
                new ColumnMapping() { ColumnName = "StormSummary", Properties =  new Dictionary<string, string>() { { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "21" } } }
        });

    kustoClient.ExecuteControlCommand(databaseName, command);
}

Install Python package

To install the Python package for Azure Synapse Data Explorer, open a command prompt that has Python in its path. Run the following command:

pip install azure-common
pip install azure-mgmt-kusto

Authentication

To run the following example, you need a Microsoft Entra application and service principal that can access resources. To create a free Microsoft Entra application and add role assignment at the subscription level, see Create a Microsoft Entra application. You also need the directory (tenant) ID, application ID, and client secret.
