########## contrib/storage-googlesheets/README.md: ########## @@ -0,0 +1,156 @@ +# Google Sheets Connector for Apache Drill +This connector enables you to query and write to Google Sheets. + +### Usage Notes: +This feature should be considered experimental as Google's API for Sheets is quite complex and amazingly +poorly documented. + +## Setup Step 1: Obtain Credential Information from Google +Ok... this is a pain. GoogleSheets uses OAuth2.0 (may it be quickly deprecated) for authorization. In order to query GoogleSheets, you will first need to obtain three artifacts: + +* Your `clientID`: This is an identifier which uniquely identifies your application to Google +* Your `client_secret`: You can think of this as your password for your application to access GoogleSheets +* Your redirect URL: This is the URL which Google will send the various access tokens which you will need later. For a local installation of Drill, it will be: + `http://localhost:8047/credentials/<plugin name>/update_oauth2_authtoken`. + +1. To obtain the `clientID` and `client_secret` you will need to obtain the Google keys, open the [Google Sheets API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/sheets.googleapis.com) and click on the `Enable` button. +2. Once you've enabled teh API, you will be taken to the API Manager. Either select a pre-existing project or create a new one. +3. Next, navigate to the `Credentials` in the left panel. +4. Click on `+Create Credentials` at the top of the page. Select `OAuth client ID` and select `Web Application` or `Desktop` as the type. Follow the instructions and download + the JSON file that Google provides. + +Drill does not use the JSON file, but you will be cutting and pasting values from the JSON file into the Drill configuration. + +## Setup Step 2: Configure Drill +Create a storage plugin following the normal procedure for doing so. You can use the example below as a template. Cut and paste the `clientID` and `client_secret` from the +JSON file into your Drill configuration as shown below. Once you've done that, save the configuration. + +```json +{ + "type": "googlesheets", + "allTextMode": true, + "extractHeaders": true, + "oAuthConfig": { + "callbackURL": "http://localhost:8047/credentials/googlesheets/update_oauth2_authtoken";, + "authorizationURL": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth";, + "authorizationParams": { + "response_type": "code", + "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets"; + } + }, + "credentialsProvider": { + "credentialsProviderType": "PlainCredentialsProvider", + "credentials": { + "clientID": "<YOUR CLIENT ID>", + "clientSecret": "<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>", + "tokenURI": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"; + }, + "userCredentials": {} + }, + "enabled": true, + "authMode": "SHARED_USER" +} +``` + +With the exception of the clientID, client_secret and redirects, you should not have to modify any of the other parameters in the configuration. + +### Other Configuration Parameters + +There are two configuration parameters which you may want to adjust: +* `allTextMode`: This parameter when `true` disables Drill's data type inferencing for your files. If your data has inconsistent data types, set this to `true`. Default is + `true`. +* `extractHeaders`: When `true`, Drill will treat the first row of your data as headers. When `false` Drill will assign column names like `field_n` for each column. + +### Authenticating with Google +Once you have configured Drill to query GoogleSheets, there is one final step before you can access data. You must authenticate the application (Drill) with GoogleSheets. After you have saved your GoogleSheets configuration, navigate back to the configuration screen for your plugin and click on `Authorize`. A new window should appear which will prompt you to authenticate with Google services. Once you have done that, you should be able to query GoogleSheets! See, that wasn't so hard!
