Superset

Connect Apache Superset to an e6data cluster using the e6data Python package and a SQLAlchemy URI.

Apache Superset is a web-based application for exploring and visualizing data. Connect it to an e6data cluster using the e6data Python connector and a SQLAlchemy URI.

Requirements

• The latest e6data Python package.
• The latest version of Apache Superset.
• The connection details from the cluster's Connection Information tab.

The SQLAlchemy URI for a Direct endpoint:

e6data://<user_name>:<token>@<host>:80/?schema=<database_name>&catalog=<catalog_name>

For a TLS endpoint:

e6data://<user_name>:<token>@<host>:443/?cluster-uuid=<cluster_uuid>&secure=true&schema=<DATABASE_NAME>&catalog=<CATALOG_NAME>

The token is a personal access token.

Connect

1. In Superset, go to Settings → Database Connections.
2. Click + Database and choose Other from the supported databases.
3. In the SQLAlchemy URI field, enter the URI above, replacing the placeholders with your credentials.
4. Click Test Connection.
5. After a successful test, click Connect.

TLS/HTTPS

e6data uses globally trusted certificates, so the host and port from the connection dialog are sufficient. Any cluster requiring authentication also requires TLS/HTTPS - use the cluster's HTTPS URL (only required for TLS connectivity endpoints).
