data-product-processor 1.0.4

The data product processor (dpp) is a library for dynamically creating and executing Apache Spark Jobs based on a declarative description of a data product.

data product processor

The data product processor is a library for dynamically creating and executing Apache Spark Jobs based on a declarative description of a data product.

The declaration is based on YAML and covers input and output data stores as well as data structures. It can be augmented with custom, PySpark-based transformation logic.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Apache Spark 3.x

Install with pip

pip install data-product-processor

Getting started

Declare a basic data product

Please see Data product specification for an overview on the files required to declare a data product.

Process the data product

From folder in which the previously created file are stored, run the data-product-processor as follows:

data-product-processor \
  --default_data_lake_bucket some-datalake-bucket \
  --aws_profile some-profile \
  --aws_region eu-central-1 \
  --local

This command will run Apache Spark locally (due to the --local switch) and store the output on an S3 bucket (authenticated with the AWS profile used in the parameter).

If you want to run the library from a different folder than the data product decleration, reference the latter through the additional argument --product_path.

data-product-processor \
  --product_path ../path-to-some-data-product \
  --default_data_lake_bucket some-datalake-bucket \
  --aws_profile some-profile \
  --aws_region eu-central-1 \
  --local
