Sample Data Examples
The MCP server can retrieve real-time streaming data samples with different sampling modes:
Claude can retrieve real-time sample data from running jobs, showing actual streaming data.
Periodic Sampling (default):
Sample All Messages Mode:
SQL Query Features
Automatic Semicolon Handling: All SQL queries are automatically terminated with semicolons
Flexible Sampling: Choose between periodic sampling or sample all messages
Job Control: Start, stop, and restart jobs with different configurations
Real-time Data: Access streaming data samples from running jobs
Advanced Features
Sample All Messages
For comprehensive data sampling, use the sample_all_messages=True option:
Configuration:
sample_interval: 0(sample immediately)sample_count: 10000(high count to capture all messages)window_size: 10000(large window for comprehensive sampling)
Custom Sampling Configuration
Fine-tune sampling behavior for your specific needs:
Job Management
Complete job lifecycle management:
Kafka Table Creation
Create tables that are restricted to local-kafka connector only:
Two-Step Process: Creating a Kafka table requires two steps:
Create Data Source: Use
create_kafka_table()to create the data source configurationRegister in Catalog: Use
register_kafka_table()to make the table queryable
Automatic Registration: The register_kafka_table() function:
Uses DDL to register the table in the Flink catalog (default:
ssb.ssb_default, falls back todefault_catalog.ssb_default)Configurable catalog and database parameters for flexible namespace control
Automatic catalog fallback when requested catalog is not available
Creates tables in the same database as existing tables like NVDA by default
Automatically adds
ssb_prefix to table names (configurable)Automatically creates a schema based on the topic data
Verifies the table is available for querying by checking the correct database context
Returns confirmation of successful registration with full table name, catalog, and database info
Naming Conventions:
Default: Tables get
ssb_prefix automatically (e.g.,user_eventsโssb_user_events)Override: Use
use_ssb_prefix=Falseto disable prefixExisting: Tables already starting with
ssb_are not modified
Namespace Configuration:
Default: Tables created in
ssb.ssb_defaultnamespace (falls back todefault_catalog.ssb_defaultifssbcatalog unavailable)Custom Catalog: Use
catalogparameter to specify different catalogCustom Database: Use
databaseparameter to specify different databaseAutomatic Fallback: System automatically falls back to
default_catalogif requested catalog is not availableFull Control: Both catalog and database are configurable for maximum flexibility
Verification:
Use
SHOW TABLES;to confirm tables are available for queryingTables are created in
default_catalog.ssb_defaultnamespace (same as NVDA)Use full namespace (
default_catalog.ssb_default.TABLE_NAME) or switch database context withUSE default_catalog.ssb_default;All virtual Kafka tables are co-located with existing tables for easy querying
Supported Connector:
local-kafka- Local Kafka connector (only option for virtual tables)
Supported Formats:
json- JSON format (default)csv- CSV formatavro- Apache Avro formatCustom format strings

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
"Unauthorized" errors: Check your authentication credentials
For direct SSB: Verify
SSB_USERandSSB_PASSWORDFor Knox: Verify
KNOX_TOKENorKNOX_USER/KNOX_PASSWORD
"Connection refused" errors: Ensure SSB services are running
Check
docker-compose psfor service statusVerify port mappings in docker-compose.yml
"No sample data available": Jobs may need time to produce data
Check job status with
get_job_status(job_id)Verify the job is running and has sample configuration
Try using
sample_all_messages=Truefor comprehensive sampling
Job restart failures: If job restart fails
Use
restart_job_with_sampling()instead ofexecute_job()Check if the job is in a state that allows restarting
Create a new job if restart is not possible
SSL certificate errors: For Knox deployments
Set
KNOX_VERIFY_SSL=falsefor self-signed certificatesOr provide proper CA bundle with
KNOX_CA_BUNDLE
Kafka table creation errors: If table creation fails
Verify that only local-kafka connector is used (enforced)
Check that the Kafka topic exists and is accessible
Ensure bootstrap servers are correctly configured
Use
validate_kafka_connector()to check connector validity
Virtual tables not available for querying: After creating Kafka tables
Important: Creating a data source doesn't automatically make it available for querying
Data sources need to be manually registered in the Flink catalog through the SSB UI
Use
SHOW TABLES;to see which tables are actually available for queryingOnly tables that appear in
SHOW TABLES;can be queried via SQL
Debug Mode
Enable debug logging by setting environment variable:
Security
All sensitive data (passwords, tokens, secrets) is automatically redacted in responses
Large collections are truncated to prevent overwhelming the LLM
Read-only mode is enabled by default for CDP deployments to prevent accidental modifications
Direct SSB authentication uses basic auth over HTTP (suitable for local development)
SQL queries are automatically sanitized with proper semicolon termination
Kafka table creation enforces local-kafka-only connector for data security
