databricks-dbapi 0.6.0

A DBAPI 2.0 interface and SQLAlchemy dialect for Databricks interactive clusters.

A thin wrapper around pyhive and pyodbc for creating a DBAPI connection to Databricks Workspace and SQL Analytics clusters. SQL Analytics clusters require the Simba ODBC driver.

Also provides SQLAlchemy Dialects using pyhive and pyodbc for Databricks clusters. Databricks SQL Analytics clusters only support the pyodbc-driven dialect.

Installation

Install using pip. You must specify at least one of the extras {hive or odbc}. For odbc the Simba driver is required:

pip install databricks-dbapi[hive,odbc]

For SQLAlchemy support install with:

pip install databricks-dbapi[hive,odbc,sqlalchemy]

Usage

PyHive

The connect() function returns a pyhive Hive connection object, which internally wraps a thrift connection.

Connecting with http_path, host, and a token:

import os

from databricks_dbapi import hive


token = os.environ["DATABRICKS_TOKEN"]
host = os.environ["DATABRICKS_HOST"]
http_path = os.environ["DATABRICKS_HTTP_PATH"]


connection = hive.connect(
    host=host,
    http_path=http_path,
    token=token,
)
cursor = connection.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM some_table LIMIT 100")

print(cursor.fetchone())
print(cursor.fetchall())

The pyhive connection also provides async functionality:

import os

from databricks_dbapi import hive
from TCLIService.ttypes import TOperationState


token = os.environ["DATABRICKS_TOKEN"]
host = os.environ["DATABRICKS_HOST"]
cluster = os.environ["DATABRICKS_CLUSTER"]


connection = hive.connect(
    host=host,
    cluster=cluster,
    token=token,
)
cursor = connection.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM some_table LIMIT 100", async_=True)

status = cursor.poll().operationState
while status in (TOperationState.INITIALIZED_STATE, TOperationState.RUNNING_STATE):
    logs = cursor.fetch_logs()
    for message in logs:
        print(message)

    # If needed, an asynchronous query can be cancelled at any time with:
    # cursor.cancel()

    status = cursor.poll().operationState

print(cursor.fetchall())

ODBC

The ODBC DBAPI requires the Simba ODBC driver.

Connecting with http_path, host, and a token:

import os

from databricks_dbapi import odbc


token = os.environ["DATABRICKS_TOKEN"]
host = os.environ["DATABRICKS_HOST"]
http_path = os.environ["DATABRICKS_HTTP_PATH"]


connection = odbc.connect(
    host=host,
    http_path=http_path,
    token=token,
    driver_path="/path/to/simba/driver",
)
cursor = connection.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM some_table LIMIT 100")

print(cursor.fetchone())
print(cursor.fetchall())

SQLAlchemy Dialects

databricks+pyhive

Installing registers the databricks+pyhive dialect/driver with SQLAlchemy. Fill in the required information when passing the engine URL.

from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.schema import *


engine = create_engine(
    "databricks+pyhive://token:<databricks_token>@<host>:<port>/<database>",
    connect_args={"http_path": "<cluster_http_path>"}
)

logs = Table("my_table", MetaData(bind=engine), autoload=True)
print(select([func.count("*")], from_obj=logs).scalar())

databricks+pyodbc

Installing registers the databricks+pyodbc dialect/driver with SQLAlchemy. Fill in the required information when passing the engine URL.

from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.schema import *


engine = create_engine(
    "databricks+pyodbc://token:<databricks_token>@<host>:<port>/<database>",
    connect_args={"http_path": "<cluster_http_path>", "driver_path": "/path/to/simba/driver"}
)

logs = Table("my_table", MetaData(bind=engine), autoload=True)
print(select([func.count("*")], from_obj=logs).scalar())
