Amazon Redshift Data¶

Amazon Redshift manages all the work of setting up, operating, and scaling a data warehouse: provisioning capacity, monitoring and backing up the cluster, and applying patches and upgrades to the Amazon Redshift engine. You can focus on using your data to acquire new insights for your business and customers.

Prerequisite Tasks¶

To use these operators, you must do a few things:

Create necessary resources using AWS Console or AWS CLI.
Install API libraries via pip.
pip install 'apache-airflow[amazon]'
Detailed information is available Installation
Setup Connection.

Operators¶

Execute a statement on an Amazon Redshift cluster¶

Use the RedshiftDataOperator to execute statements against an Amazon Redshift cluster.

This differs from RedshiftSQLOperator in that it allows users to query and retrieve data via the AWS API and avoid the necessity of a Postgres connection.

task_query = RedshiftDataOperator(
    task_id='redshift_query',
    cluster_identifier=REDSHIFT_CLUSTER_IDENTIFIER,
    database=REDSHIFT_DATABASE,
    db_user=REDSHIFT_DATABASE_USER,
    sql=REDSHIFT_QUERY,

)
