Introducing the Databricks Connector, a Well-Lit Solution to Streamline Unstructured Data Migration and Transformation

This integration enables developers to effortlessly transfer data from Spark/Databricks to Milvus/Zilliz Cloud, whether in real-time or batch mode. By leveraging the Databricks Connector for Apache Arrow, developers can streamline their workflow and focus on building efficient and scalable AI solutions using these powerful technologies. The integration approach involves connecting Spark to Milvus through a shared filesystem such as S3 or MinIO buckets. By granting access to Spark or Databricks, the Spark job can use Milvus connectors to write data to the bucket in batch and then bulk-insert the entire collection for serving. To help developers get started quickly, we have prepared a notebook example that walks them through the streaming and batch data transfer processes with Milvus and Zilliz Cloud. This integration empowers developers to build efficient and scalable AI solutions, unlocking the full potential of these powerful technologies. For more information on this integration and its use cases, check out the official documentation for Databricks Connector for Apache Arrow.
