Delta Funnel

Surreal banner showing Delta Lake data flowing through a Rust-orange funnel into a database barrel.

Fast, lightweight Delta Lake to SQL Server loads without Spark or ODBC.

A lightweight Rust and Python toolkit for reading Delta Lake tables,
transforming them with DataFusion SQL, and writing through native TDS bulk loads.

Built in Rust. Python API included.
Read the Delta Funnel documentation.

Rust docs crates.io PyPI Python 3.10+

[!NOTE] Delta Funnel is early project code. The Rust crate is available on crates.io, and the Python package is available on PyPI.

When To Use It

Use Delta Funnel when you need to:

  • Read Delta Lake tables from local paths or object-store URIs.
  • Transform rows with DataFusion SQL.
  • Load one or more results into Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Use native TDS bulk writes designed to be significantly faster than ODBC-based loads.
  • Run the workflow from Rust or from a PyO3 native extension module in Python.
  • Avoid standing up Spark for a focused Delta Lake to SQL Server pipeline.

Install Or Build

For Rust, add the delta-funnel crate:

cargo add delta-funnel

For Python, add the deltafunnel package:

uv add deltafunnel

Python Quickstart

from deltafunnel import Session

connection_string = (
    "server=tcp:localhost,1433;"
    "database=warehouse;"
    "user id=etl_user;"
    "password=REPLACE_ME;"
    "encrypt=true;"
    "TrustServerCertificate=yes"
)

session = Session(default_mssql_connection_string=connection_string)
orders = session.delta_lake("file:///path/to/orders-delta", name="orders")

daily_orders = session.table_from_sql("""
    select customer_id, order_date, total_amount
    from orders
    where order_date >= date '2026-01-01'
""")

report = daily_orders.write_to_mssql(
    schema="dbo",
    table="daily_orders",
    load_mode="create_and_load",
)

Use replace only for existing targets. DeltaFunnel writes a staging table, validates it, then swaps it into the final target name. Table metadata such as indexes, constraints, triggers, permissions, and extended properties is not preserved.

session.delta_lake(..., name="orders") registers a Delta source immediately. session.delta_lake(...) without name returns a pending source; call .alias("orders") before SQL references it.

For private S3 Delta sources in Python, see the docs-site/docs/python-api-walkthrough.md guide. The current S3 path expects explicit storage_options credentials for local shell usage and can behave differently from deltalake if the two libraries resolve AWS credentials differently.

Reports are plain Python dict values converted from Rust report types. Report formatting is designed to avoid exposing connection strings, credentials, and raw row values. See docs/failure-reports-and-tracing.md for the failure-report and tracing rules.

Dry Runs

Use dry_run=True on the same write methods to validate the plan without writing rows:

dry_run_report = daily_orders.write_to_mssql(
    schema="dbo",
    table="daily_orders",
    load_mode="create_and_load",
    dry_run=True,
)

There are no public Python dry_run_* methods.

Multi-output Writes

Table.to_mssql(...) creates an output spec without writing. Session.write_all writes the specs in one workflow.

active_orders = session.table_from_sql("""
    select *
    from orders
    where status = 'active'
""").alias("active_orders")

west = session.table_from_sql("""
    select * from active_orders where region = 'west'
""")
east = session.table_from_sql("""
    select * from active_orders where region = 'east'
""")

outputs = [
    west.to_mssql(
        schema="dbo",
        table="active_orders_west",
        load_mode="append_existing",
        name="west_active_orders",
    ),
    east.to_mssql(
        schema="dbo",
        table="active_orders_east",
        load_mode="append_existing",
        name="east_active_orders",
    ),
]

dry_run_report = session.write_all(outputs, dry_run=True)
report = session.write_all(outputs, options={"cache_mode": "disabled"})

options={"cache_mode": "auto"} is the default execute behavior. It may cache shared lazy SQL aliases during one write_all call. Use options={"cache_mode": "disabled"} to force the baseline path.

[!IMPORTANT] options is only accepted for execute write_all calls, not dry runs.

The first Python surface does not include persistent cache, persist, or materialize APIs.

Rust API

The Rust crate owns the workflow implementation and public report types. A minimal dry-run example is available at crates/delta-funnel/examples/query_load_dry_run.rs.

Run it with a local Delta table path:

DELTA_FUNNEL_EXAMPLE_ORDERS_DELTA=/path/to/orders \
  cargo run -p delta-funnel --example query_load_dry_run

Core Rust entry points include:

  • DeltaFunnelSession for source registration and session state.
  • DeltaFunnelRuntime for lazy SQL planning, dry runs, and writes.
  • OutputWritePlan and MssqlOutputTarget for output planning.
  • WriteAllOptions and WriteAllCacheMode for multi-output execution.

Build And Test

cargo fmt --all --check
cargo check --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings

SQL Server integration tests are opt-in:

cargo xtask sqlserver-test

The xtask runner can start a local SQL Server container, run Rust and Python write tests, and remove the container when it exits. See docs/mssql-integration-tests.md.
