RabbitMQ connector

Beta

This feature is in Beta. Workspace admins can control access to this feature from the Previews page. See Manage Databricks previews.

The managed RabbitMQ connector in Lakeflow Connect allows you to stream messages from RabbitMQ classic queues into streaming tables in Databricks. The connector provides at-least-once delivery semantics and handles authentication, message decoding, acknowledgement, and pipeline lifecycle management, so you don't need to write Structured Streaming code directly.

RabbitMQ connector components

Component

Description

Connection

A Unity Catalog securable object that stores the broker endpoint and authentication credentials for your RabbitMQ broker. The managed RabbitMQ connector uses this connection to authenticate without requiring credentials in your pipeline configuration.

Ingestion pipeline

A pipeline that continuously consumes messages from one or more RabbitMQ classic queues and writes the results to streaming tables. The pipeline runs on serverless compute.

Destination tables

The streaming tables where the ingestion pipeline writes the data.

The following table provides an overview of the end-to-end RabbitMQ ingestion flow, based on user type:

Steps

Admin

Use Catalog Explorer to create a connection so that any user with USE CONNECTION or ALL PRIVILEGES can create pipelines. See Create a RabbitMQ connection.

Non-admin

Use any supported interface to create a pipeline from an existing connection. See Ingest data from RabbitMQ.
