Submitting a U-SQL Job to Azure Data Lake Analytics

Getting Started

An Azure RM template is included in infrastructure/ to create the environment:

Using Azure PowerShell, do the following to provision the resources:

.\startup.ps1

Alternatively, you can perform a one-click deploy with the following button:

Following Along

1. Upload data/searchLog.tsv to the Data Lake Store created by the template.

2. Create a Data Lake Analytics job and use the following U-SQL query:

   @searchlog =
       EXTRACT UserId   int,
           TimeStamp    DateTime,
           Language     string,
           Query        string,
           Duration     int,
           Urls         string,
           ClickedUrls  string
       FROM "/searchLog.tsv"
       USING Extractors.Tsv();
   
   @out =
       SELECT TimeStamp, Query, Duration
       FROM @searchlog
       WHERE Duration > 800;
   
   OUTPUT @out
       TO "/output.tsv"
       USING Outputters.Tsv();

3. Inspect the output.tsv file in the Data Lake Store.

Tearing Down

When finished, remove the Azure resources with:

.\teardown.ps1
