dagster-polars 0.0.4

Dagster integration library for Polars

dagster-polars

Polars integration library for Dagster.

Features

• All IOManagers log various metadata about the DataFrame - size, schema, sample, stats, ...
• For all IOManagers the "columns" input metadata key can be used to select a subset of columns to load
• BasePolarsUPathIOManager is a base class for IO managers that work with Polars DataFrames. Shouldn't be used directly unless you want to implement your own IOManager.
  • returns the correct type (polars.DataFrame or polars.LazyFrame) based on the type annotation
  • inherits all the features of the UPathIOManager - works with local and remote filesystems (like S3), supports loading multiple partitions (use dict[str, pl.DataFrame] type annotation), ...
  • Implemented serialization formats:
    • PolarsParquetIOManager - for reading and writing files in Apache Parquet format. Supports reading partitioned Parquet datasets (for example, often produced by Spark). All read/write options can be set via metadata values.
    • PolarsDeltaIOManager - for reading and writing Delta Lake. All read/write options can be set via metadata values. "partition_by" metadata value can be set to use native Delta Lake partitioning (it's passed to delta_write_options of write_delta). In this case, all the asset partitions will be stored in the same Delta Table directory. You are responsible for filtering correct partitions when reading the data in the downstream assets. Extra dependencies can be installed with pip install 'dagster-polars[deltalake]'. Warning doesn't work good on MacOS
• BigQueryPolarsIOManager - for reading and writing data from/to BigQuery. Supports writing partitioned tables ("partition_expr" input metadata key must be specified). Extra dependencies can be installed with pip install 'dagster-polars[gcp]'.

Quickstart

Installation

pip install dagster-polars

To use the BigQueryPolarsIOManager you need to install the gcp extra:

pip install 'dagster-polars[gcp]'

Usage

import polars as pl
from dagster import asset, Definitions
from dagster_polars import PolarsParquetIOManager


@asset(io_manager_key="polars_parquet_io_manager")
def upstream() -> pl.DataFrame:
    df: pl.DataFrame = ...
    return df


@asset(io_manager_key="polars_parquet_io_manager")
def downstream(upstream: pl.LazyFrame) -> pl.DataFrame:
    df = ...  # some lazy operations with `upstream`
    return df.collect()


definitions = Definitions(
    assets=[upstream, downstream],
    resources={
        "polars_parquet_io_manager": PolarsParquetIOManager(base_dir="/remote/or/local/path")
    }
)

Development

Installation

poetry install
poetry run pre-commit install

Testing

poetry run pytest

Ideas

• Data validation like in dagster-pandas
• Maybe use DagsterTypeLoader ?
