Hi, I had successfully built the project. And How I want to contribute to the project! Is there something I can do that is maybe not so complicated? And maybe as time I know this project better I can contribute more!

Awesome! Glad to hear you got it working!!

I am just starting contributing myself and writing my own connector is pretty cool and not so complicated so far... https://docs.airbyte.io/integrations/adding-your-own-connectors

Cool, Thanks for the advice, I will read these documentation and try with a new connector!

I think next release (soon) should include a couple more connectors that you can take as examples and you can already see some templates to kick-start on the master branch

Okay, I will come and check that code. If possible I will concentrate on building a Hive destination integration.

Is your data stored in HDFS?

Yes, it is.

Nice!

are you comfortable working in java? our destinations are written in java right now. we are definitely happy to have destinations implemented in python! we just don’t have any examples of what that looks like yet so there might be a couple of rough edges if you guy the python route there.

i would also say that in general writing sources is a little more straightforward than destinations (and we have examples of those in singer, python, and java).

but if you are jazzed about hive, go for it!

we are happy to provide support regardless of what you choose. let us know if there’s anything we can to help you along the way.

@charles Thanks for kindly reminding me. I had a backend develop background, so I feel more comfortable with Java than Python actually. I would like to accept your suggestion, I thought I still need to review a lot of sources and destination connector’s source code to start my own journey. Maybe I will start with a Hive source connector if the source is more straightforward than the destination as you said. But I still have a requirement to extract data to Hive, so maybe I will come to Hive destination someday. And If I run into any difficulties, I’ll be happy to call for help here. Thanks again!
