Chronon Python API

Overview

Chronon Python API for materializing configs to be run by the Chronon Engine. Contains python helpers to help managed a repo of feature and join definitions to be executed by the chronon scala engine.

User API Overview

Sources

Most fields are self explanatory. Time columns are expected to be in milliseconds (unixtime).

# File <repo>/sources/test_sources.py
from ai.chronon.query import (
  Query,
  select,
)
from ai.chronon.api.ttypes import Source, EventSource, EntitySource

# Sample query
Query(
  selects=select(
      user="user_id",
      created_at="created_at",
  ),
  wheres=["has_availability = 1"],
  start_partition="2021-01-01",  # Defines the beginning of time for computations related to the source.
  setups=["...UDF..."],
  time_column="ts",
  end_partition=None,
  mutation_time_column="mutation_timestamp",
  reversal_column="CASE WHEN mutation_type IN ('DELETE', 'UPDATE_BEFORE') THEN true ELSE false END"
)

user_activity = Source(entities=EntitySource(
  snapshotTable="db_exports.table",
  mutationTable="mutations_namespace.table_mutations",
  mutationTopic="mutationsKafkaTopic",
  query=Query(...)
)

website__views = Source(events=EventSource(
  table="namespace.table",
  topic="kafkaTopicForEvents",
)
Group By (Features)

Group Bys are aggregations over sources that define features. For example:

# File <repo>/group_bys/example_team/example_group_by.py
from ai.chronon.group_by import (
  GroupBy,
  Window,
  TimeUnit,
  Accuracy,
  Operation,
  Aggregations,
  Aggregation,
  DefaultAggregation,
)
from sources import test_sources

sum_cols = [f"active_{x}_days" for x in [30, 90, 120]]


v0 = GroupBy(
  sources=test_source.user_activity,
  keys=["user"],
  aggregations=Aggregations(
    user_active_1_day=Aggregation(operation=Operation.LAST),
    second_feature=Aggregation(
      input_column="active_7_days",
      operation=Operation.SUM,
      windows=[
        Window(n, TimeUnit.DAYS) for n in [3, 5, 9]
      ]
    ),
  ) + [
    Aggregation(
      input_column=col,
      operation=Operation.SUM
    ) for col in sum_columns           # Alternative syntax for defining aggregations.
  ] + [
    Aggregation(
      input_column="device",
      operation=LAST_K(10)
    )
  ],
  dependencies=[
    "db_exports.table/ds={{ ds }}"      # If not defined will be derived from the Source info.
  ],
  accuracy=Accuracy.SNAPSHOT,          # This could be TEMPORAL for point in time correctness.
  env={
    "backfill": {                      # Execution environment variables for each of the modes for `run.py`
      "EXECUTOR_MEMORY": "4G"
     },
  },
  online=True,                         # True if this group by needs to be uploaded to a KV Store.
  production=False                     # True if this group by is production level.
)
Join

A Join is a collection of feature values for the keys and (times if applicable) defined on the left (source). Example:

# File <repo>/joins/example_team/example_join.py
from ai.chronon.join import Join, JoinPart
from sources import test_sources
from group_bys.example_team import example_group_by

v1 = Join(
    left=test_sources.website__views,
    right_parts=[
        JoinPart(group_by=example_group_by.v0),
    ],
    online=True,       # True if this join will be fetched in production.
    production=False,  # True if this join should not use non-production group bys.
    env={"backfill": {"PARALLELISM": "10"}, "streaming": {"STREAMING_ENV_VAR": "VALUE"}},
)
Pre-commit Setup
  1. Install pre-commit and other dev libraries:
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
  1. Run the following command under api/py to install the git hook scripts:
pre-commit install

To support more pre-commit hooks, add them to the .pre-commit-config.yaml file.
