Kusto.Ingest client interfaces and classes

Article
09/10/2024

Applies to: ✅ Azure Data Explorer

The main interfaces and classes in the Kusto Ingest .NET library are:

Interface IKustoIngestClient: The main ingestion interface
Class ExtendedKustoIngestClient: Extensions to the main ingestion interface
class KustoIngestFactory: The main factory for ingestion clients
class KustoIngestionProperties: Class used to provide common ingestion properties
class SourceOptions: Source data handling options
class IngestionMapping: Class used to describe the data mapping for the ingestion
Enum DataSourceFormat: Supported data source formats. For example, CSV or JSON.
Interface IKustoQueuedIngestClient: Interface describing operations that apply for queued ingestion only
Class KustoQueuedIngestionProperties: Properties that apply to queued ingestion only

Note

This information applies specifically to the .NET client library. Different client libraries may have variations in their available interfaces and classes. For a broader understanding of Kusto Ingest across all client libraries, see Kusto Ingest overview.

Class KustoIngestionProperties

KustoIngestionProperties class contains basic ingestion properties for fine control over the ingestion process.

Property	Meaning
DatabaseName	Name of the database to ingest into
TableName	Name of the table to ingest into
DropByTags	Tags that each extent will have. DropByTags are permanent and can be used as follows: `.show table T extents where tags has 'some tag'` or `.drop extents <\| .show table T extents where tags has 'some tag'`
IngestByTags	Tags that are written per extent. Can later be used with the `IngestIfNotExists` property to avoid ingesting the same data twice. For more information, see ingest-by: tags.
IngestionMapping	Holds either a reference to an exiting mapping or a list of column mappings
AdditionalTags	Extra tags as needed
IngestIfNotExists	List of tags that you don't want to ingest again (per table)
ValidationPolicy	Data validation definitions.
Format	Format of the data being ingested
AdditionalProperties	Other properties that are passed as ingestion properties to the ingestion command. The properties are passed because not all of the ingestion properties are represented in a separate member of this class

public class KustoIngestionProperties
{
    public string DatabaseName { get; set; }
    public string TableName { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<string> DropByTags { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<string> IngestByTags { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<string> AdditionalTags { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<string> IngestIfNotExists { get; set; }
    public IngestionMapping IngestionMapping { get; set; }
    public ValidationPolicy ValidationPolicy { get; set; }
    public DataSourceFormat? Format { get; set; }
    public bool IgnoreSizeLimit { get; set; } // Determines whether the limit of 6 GB per single ingestion source should be ignored. Defaults to false.
    public IDictionary<string, string> AdditionalProperties { get; set; }

    public KustoIngestionProperties(string databaseName, string tableName);
}

Class SourceOptions

SourceOptions and derived classes encapsulate additional information and handling options for the source data. The specifics differ between supported sources

    // Base class
    public abstract class SourceOptions
    {
        public Guid SourceId  { get; set; };    // Identifies the ingestion source
        public bool Compress { get; set; };     // Determines whether data should be compressed before being uploaded.
    }

    // Represents a local file/blob/ADLSv2 file
    public sealed class StorageSourceOptions : SourceOptions
    {
        public long? Size { get; set; };    // Uncompressed data size. Should be used to comunicate the file size to the service for efficient ingestion
        public bool DeleteSourceOnSuccess { get; set; };    // Indicates whether the ingestion source should be deleted after successful ingestion. Defaults to 'false'. When set to 'true', will require the service to individually delete each blob, which could put extra pressure on the service.
        public DataSourceCompressionType CompressionType { get; set; }; //  Indicates compression used. Defaults to 'none'
    }

Class IngestionMapping

Holds a reference to an existing mapping or a list of column mappings.

Property	Meaning
IngestionMappings	Column mappings, each describing the target column data and its source
IngestionMappingKind	Kind of mapping described in the IngestionMappings property - one of: Csv, Json, Avro, Parquet, SStream, Orc, ApacheAvro or W3CLogFile
IngestionMappingReference	The precreated mapping name

public class IngestionMapping
{
    public IEnumerable<ColumnMapping> IngestionMappings { get; set; }
    public IngestionMappingKind IngestionMappingKind { get; set; }
    public string IngestionMappingReference { get; set; }

    public IngestionMapping()
    public IngestionMapping(IngestionMapping ingestionMapping)
}

Enum DataSourceFormat

public enum DataSourceFormat
{
    csv,        // Data is in a CSV(-comma-separated values) format
    tsv,        // Data is in a TSV(-tab-separated values) format
    scsv,       // Data is in a SCSV(-semicolon-separated values) format
    sohsv,      // Data is in a SOHSV(-SOH (ASCII 1) separated values) format
    psv,        // Data is in a PSV (pipe-separated values) format
    tsve,       // Tab-separated value with '\' escaping character.
    txt,        // Each record is a line and has just one field
    raw,        // The entire stream/file/blob is a single record having a single field
    json,       // Data is in a JSON-line format (each line is record with a single JSON value)
    multijson,  // The data stream is a concatenation of JSON documents (property bags all)
    avro,       // Data is in a AVRO format
    orc,        // Data is in a ORC format
    parquet,    // Data is in a Parquet format
}

Example of KustoIngestionProperties definition

var guid = new Guid().ToString();
var kustoIngestionProperties = new KustoIngestionProperties("TargetDatabase", "TargetTable")
{
    DropByTags = new List<string> { DateTime.Today.ToString() },
    IngestByTags = new List<string> { guid },
    AdditionalTags = new List<string> { "some tags" },
    IngestIfNotExists = new List<string> { guid },
    IngestionMapping = new IngestionMapping() {
        IngestionMappingKind = Data.Ingestion.IngestionMappingKind.Csv,
        IngestionMappings = new ColumnMapping[] { new ColumnMapping() {
            ColumnName = "stringColumn",
            Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>() {
            { MappingConsts.Ordinal, "1"} }
        } },
    },
    ValidationPolicy = new ValidationPolicy { ValidationImplications = ValidationImplications.Fail, ValidationOptions = ValidationOptions.ValidateCsvInputConstantColumns },
    Format = DataSourceFormat.csv
};

Interface IKustoQueuedIngestClient

IKustoQueuedIngestClient interface adds tracking methods that follow the ingestion operation result and exposes RetryPolicy for the ingest client.

Class KustoQueuedIngestionProperties

KustoQueuedIngestionProperties class extends KustoIngestionProperties with several control knobs that can be used to fine-tune the ingestion behavior.

Property	Meaning
FlushImmediately	Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, will bypass aggregation mechanism of the Data Management service
IngestionReportLevel	Controls the level of ingestion status reporting (defaults to `FailuresOnly`). For good performance and storage usage, we recommended you not set IngestionReportLevel to `FailuresAndSuccesses`
IngestionReportMethod	Controls the target of the ingestion status reporting. Available options are: Azure Queue, Azure Table, or both. Defaults to `Queue`.
