skypoint-python-cdm-connector
Python Spark CDM Connector by SkyPoint.
A Apache Spark data source for the Microsoft Azure "Common Data Model". Reading and writing is supported and it is a work in progress. Library is in early stage and making progress each weekly sprint. Please file issues for any bugs that you find.
For more information about the Azure Common Data Model, check out this page.
We support Azure Data Lake Service (ADLS) as storage, historical data preservation using snapshots of the schema & data files and usage within PySpark, Azure Functions etc.
*Upcoming Support for incremental data refresh handling, CDM 1.1, AWS (S3) and Google Cloud (Cloud Storage).
Example
- Please look into the sample usage file skypoint_python_cdm.py
- Dynamically add/remove entities, annotations and attributes
- Pass Reader and Writer object for any storage account you like to write/read data to/from.
- Check out the below code for basic read and write examples.
# Initialize empty model
m = Model()
# Sample dataframe
df = {"country": ["Brazil", "Russia", "India", "China", "South Africa", "ParaSF"],
"currentTime": [datetime.now(), datetime.now(), datetime.now(), datetime.now(), datetime.now(), datetime.now()],
"area": [8.516, 17.10, 3.286, 9.597, 1.221, 2.222],
"capital": ["Brasilia", "Moscow", "New Dehli", "Beijing", "Pretoria", "ParaSF"],
"population": [200.4, 143.5, 1252, 1357, 52.98, 12.34] }
df = pd.DataFrame(df)
# Generate entity from the dataframe
entity = Model.generate_entity(df, "customEntity")
# Add generated entity to model
m.add_entity(entity)
# Add model level annotation
# Annotation can be added at entity level as well as attribute level
Model.add_annotation("modelJsonAnnotation", "modelJsonAnnotationValue", m)
# Create an ADLSWriter to write into ADLS
writer = ADLSWriter("ACCOUNT_NAME", "ACCOUNT_KEY",
"CONTAINER_NAME", "STORAGE_NAME", "DATAFLOW_NAME")
# Write data as well as model.json in ADLS storage
m.write_to_storage("customEntity", df, writer)Contributing
