Azure Data Lake Store Filesystem Client Library for Python

Microsoft Azure Data Lake Store Filesystem Library for Python

This project is the Python filesystem library for Azure Data Lake Store.

INSTALLATION

To install from source instead of pip (for local testing and development):

> pip install -r dev_requirements.txt
> python setup.py develop

Usage: Sample Code

To play with the code, here is a starting point:

from azure.datalake.store import core, lib, multithread
token = lib.auth(tenant_id, username, password)
adl = core.AzureDLFileSystem(token, store_name=store_name)

# typical operations
adl.ls('')
adl.ls('tmp/', detail=True)
adl.ls('tmp/', detail=True, invalidate_cache=True)
adl.cat('littlefile')
adl.head('gdelt20150827.csv')

# file-like object
with adl.open('gdelt20150827.csv', blocksize=2**20) as f:
    print(f.readline())
    print(f.readline())
    print(f.readline())
    # could have passed f to any function requiring a file object:
    # pandas.read_csv(f)

with adl.open('anewfile', 'wb') as f:
    # data is written on flush/close, or when buffer is bigger than
    # blocksize
    f.write(b'important data')

adl.du('anewfile')

# recursively download the whole directory tree with 5 threads and
# 16MB chunks
multithread.ADLDownloader(adl, "", 'my_temp_dir', 5, 2**24)

Progress can be tracked using a callback function in the form track(current, total) When passed, this will keep track of transferred bytes and be called on each complete chunk.

Here’s an example using the Azure CLI progress controller as the progress_callback:

from cli.core.application import APPLICATION

def _update_progress(current, total):
    hook = APPLICATION.get_progress_controller(det=True)
    hook.add(message='Alive', value=current, total_val=total)
    if total == current:
        hook.end()

...
ADLUploader(client, destination_path, source_path, thread_count, overwrite=overwrite,
        chunksize=chunk_size,
        buffersize=buffer_size,
        blocksize=block_size,
        progress_callback=_update_progress)

This will output a progress bar to the stdout:

Alive[#########################                                       ]  40.0881%

Finished[#############################################################]  100.0000%

Usage: Command Line Sample

To interact with the API at a higher-level, you can use the provided command-line interface in “samples/cli.py”. You will need to set the appropriate environment variables

• azure_username

• azure_password

• azure_data_lake_store_name

• azure_subscription_id

• azure_resource_group_name

• azure_service_principal

• azure_service_principal_secret

to connect to the Azure Data Lake Store. Optionally, you may need to define azure_tenant_id or azure_data_lake_store_url_suffix.

Below is a simple sample, with more details beyond.

python samples\cli.py ls -l

Execute the program without arguments to access documentation.

To start the CLI in interactive mode, run “python samples/cli.py” and then type “help” to see all available commands (similiar to Unix utilities):

> python samples/cli.py
azure> help

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
cat    chmod  close  du      get   help  ls     mv   quit  rmdir  touch
chgrp  chown  df     exists  head  info  mkdir  put  rm    tail

azure>

While still in interactive mode, you can run “ls -l” to list the entries in the home directory (“help ls” will show the command’s usage details). If you’re not familiar with the Unix/Linux “ls” command, the columns represent 1) permissions, 2) file owner, 3) file group, 4) file size, 5-7) file’s modification time, and 8) file name.

> python samples/cli.py
azure> ls -l
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd         0 Aug 02 12:44 azure1
-rwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd   1048576 Jul 25 18:33 abc.csv
-r-xr-xr-x 0123abcd 0123abcd        36 Jul 22 18:32 xyz.csv
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd         0 Aug 03 13:46 tmp
azure> ls -l --human-readable
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd   0B Aug 02 12:44 azure1
-rwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd   1M Jul 25 18:33 abc.csv
-r-xr-xr-x 0123abcd 0123abcd  36B Jul 22 18:32 xyz.csv
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd   0B Aug 03 13:46 tmp
azure>

To download a remote file, run “get remote-file [local-file]”. The second argument, “local-file”, is optional. If not provided, the local file will be named after the remote file minus the directory path.

> python samples/cli.py
azure> ls -l
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd         0 Aug 02 12:44 azure1
-rwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd   1048576 Jul 25 18:33 abc.csv
-r-xr-xr-x 0123abcd 0123abcd        36 Jul 22 18:32 xyz.csv
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd         0 Aug 03 13:46 tmp
azure> get xyz.csv
2016-08-04 18:57:48,603 - ADLFS - DEBUG - Creating empty file xyz.csv
2016-08-04 18:57:48,604 - ADLFS - DEBUG - Fetch: xyz.csv, 0-36
2016-08-04 18:57:49,726 - ADLFS - DEBUG - Downloaded to xyz.csv, byte offset 0
2016-08-04 18:57:49,734 - ADLFS - DEBUG - File downloaded (xyz.csv -> xyz.csv)
azure>

It is also possible to run in command-line mode, allowing any available command to be executed separately without remaining in the interpreter.

For example, listing the entries in the home directory:

> python samples/cli.py ls -l
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd         0 Aug 02 12:44 azure1
-rwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd   1048576 Jul 25 18:33 abc.csv
-r-xr-xr-x 0123abcd 0123abcd        36 Jul 22 18:32 xyz.csv
drwxrwx--- 0123abcd 0123abcd         0 Aug 03 13:46 tmp
>

Also, downloading a remote file:

> python samples/cli.py get xyz.csv
2016-08-04 18:57:48,603 - ADLFS - DEBUG - Creating empty file xyz.csv
2016-08-04 18:57:48,604 - ADLFS - DEBUG - Fetch: xyz.csv, 0-36
2016-08-04 18:57:49,726 - ADLFS - DEBUG - Downloaded to xyz.csv, byte offset 0
2016-08-04 18:57:49,734 - ADLFS - DEBUG - File downloaded (xyz.csv -> xyz.csv)
>

• Update the build process to more efficiently handle multi-part namespaces for pip.

0.0.6 (2017-03-15)

    • get_acl_status: retrieves the ACL information for a file or folder

    • remove_acl_entries: removes the specified entries from an ACL on a file or folder

    • remove_acl: removes all non-default ACL entries from a file or folder

    • remove_default_acl: removes all default ACL entries from a folder

0.0.4 (2017-02-07)

• Fix for folder upload to properly delete folders with contents when overwrite specified.

• Fix to set verbose output to False/Off by default. This removes progress tracking output by default but drastically improves performance.
