Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install evolvishub-data-handler

# Install with development dependencies
pip install evolvishub-data-handler[dev]

# Install with documentation dependencies
pip install evolvishub-data-handler[docs]

Quick Start

Basic Usage (No Plugins Required)

1. Create a simple configuration file (e.g., config.yaml):

# Basic configuration - no plugins required
source:
  type: postgresql
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  database: source_db
  username: source_user
  password: source_password
  table: users
  watermark:
    column: updated_at
    type: timestamp
    initial_value: "2024-01-01 00:00:00"

destination:
  type: postgresql
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  database: dest_db
  username: dest_user
  password: dest_password
  table: users_sync

sync:
  mode: one_time  # Simple one-time sync
  batch_size: 1000

2. Use the library in your code:

from evolvishub_data_handler import CDCHandler

# Initialize the handler
handler = CDCHandler("config.yaml")

# Run one-time sync
handler.sync()

# Or run continuous sync
handler.run_continuous()

Advanced Usage with Optional Plugins

For advanced features like data transformation, monitoring, and custom adapters, you can optionally enable the plugin system:

# Advanced configuration with optional plugins
source:
  type: postgresql
  host: localhost
  database: source_db
  username: source_user
  password: source_password
  table: users
  watermark:
    column: updated_at
    type: timestamp
    initial_value: "2024-01-01 00:00:00"

destination:
  type: postgresql
  host: localhost
  database: dest_db
  username: dest_user
  password: dest_password
  table: users_sync

sync:
  mode: continuous
  interval_seconds: 30
  batch_size: 1000

# Optional plugins section - remove this entire section for basic usage
plugins:
  # Optional: Data transformations
  transformers:
    transformers:
      - type: field_mapper
        params:
          mapping:
            user_id: customer_id
            full_name: name
      - type: field_filter
        params:
          exclude: [password, ssn]

  # Optional: Monitoring and validation
  middleware:
    middleware:
      - type: logging
        params:
          level: INFO
      - type: validation
        params:
          rules:
            email: {required: true, type: string}

  # Optional: Alerts and notifications
  hooks:
    hooks:
      - type: slack
        params:
          webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/..."
          channel: "#data-sync"
        events: [error]

Important: The plugins section is completely optional. Remove it entirely for basic synchronization without any plugins.

📖 See Examples:

• Basic usage (no plugins): examples/basic_usage_no_plugins.py
• Advanced usage (with plugins): examples/plugin_system_example.py
• Kafka CDC integration: examples/kafka_cdc_example.py
• Event bus streaming: examples/event_bus_examples.py

3. Run synchronization using the CLI:

# Basic one-time sync (works with or without plugins)
evolvishub-cdc run -c config.yaml -m one_time

# Continuous sync (works with or without plugins)
evolvishub-cdc run -c config.yaml -m continuous

# Cron-scheduled sync (works with or without plugins)
evolvishub-cdc run -c config.yaml -m cron

# Override cron expression from command line
evolvishub-cdc run -c config.yaml --cron "0 */4 * * *"

# With custom logging
evolvishub-cdc run -c config.yaml -l DEBUG --log-file sync.log

# Legacy commands (still supported)
evolvishub-cdc sync -c config.yaml
evolvishub-cdc continuous-sync -c config.yaml

Sync Modes

One-Time Sync

Run a single synchronization cycle and exit.

sync:
  mode: one_time
  batch_size: 1000

Continuous Sync

Run synchronization continuously at specified intervals.

sync:
  mode: continuous
  interval_seconds: 60  # Sync every 60 seconds
  batch_size: 1000

Cron-Scheduled Sync

Run synchronization based on cron expressions with timezone support.

sync:
  mode: cron
  cron_expression: "0 */2 * * *"  # Every 2 hours
  timezone: "America/New_York"
  batch_size: 1000

Common Cron Expressions:

• "0 9 * * 1-5" - Every weekday at 9 AM
• "0 */6 * * *" - Every 6 hours
• "30 2 * * 0" - Every Sunday at 2:30 AM
• "0 0 1 * *" - First day of every month at midnight
• "0 8,12,16 * * *" - At 8 AM, 12 PM, and 4 PM every day

Custom Queries

Using Custom SQL Queries

Define complex data extraction logic with custom SQL queries:

source:
  type: postgresql
  # ... connection details ...
  query: >
    SELECT
      id, name, email, updated_at,
      CASE
        WHEN deleted_at IS NOT NULL THEN 'delete'
        WHEN updated_at > :last_sync THEN 'update'
        ELSE 'insert'
      END as operation,
      EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM updated_at) as updated_timestamp
    FROM users
    WHERE (updated_at > :last_sync OR :last_sync IS NULL)
      AND status = 'active'
    ORDER BY updated_at
    LIMIT :batch_size

Available Parameters:

• :last_sync - Last synchronization timestamp
• :batch_size - Configured batch size

Using Simple SELECT Statements

For simpler cases, use the select field:

source:
  type: postgresql
  # ... connection details ...
  select: "SELECT id, name, email, updated_at FROM users"
  watermark:
    column: updated_at
    type: timestamp

The framework automatically adds WHERE, ORDER BY, and LIMIT clauses based on watermark configuration.

Watermark Storage Options

Database Storage (Default)

Store watermarks in the source or destination database:

sync:
  watermark_table: sync_watermark  # Default behavior

SQLite Storage

Store watermarks in a separate SQLite database for persistence across restarts:

sync:
  watermark_storage:
    type: sqlite
    sqlite_path: "/var/lib/evolvishub/watermarks.db"
    table_name: "sync_watermark"

Benefits of SQLite Storage:

• ✅ Persistent across application restarts
• ✅ Independent of source/destination databases
• ✅ Centralized watermark management
• ✅ Error tracking and status monitoring
• ✅ Resume from last successful sync point

File Storage

Store watermarks in a JSON file:

sync:
  watermark_storage:
    type: file
    file_path: "/var/lib/evolvishub/watermarks.json"

EvolvisHub Data Handler Adapter

A powerful and flexible data handling adapter for Evolvis AI's data processing pipeline. This tool provides seamless integration with various database systems and implements Change Data Capture (CDC) functionality.

🔌 When to Use Plugins

Use Basic Configuration When:

• ✅ Simple database-to-database synchronization
• ✅ Standard data types and field names
• ✅ No custom business logic required
• ✅ Basic monitoring through logs is sufficient
• ✅ Getting started quickly

Add Plugins When You Need:

• 🔄 Data Transformation: Field mapping, type conversion, data cleansing
• 📊 Advanced Monitoring: Real-time metrics, Slack alerts, webhooks
• 🔍 Data Validation: Quality checks, business rule validation
• 🔗 Custom Adapters: Redis, Elasticsearch, APIs, custom databases
• 📈 Performance Monitoring: Detailed metrics and performance tracking
• 🚨 Production Alerting: Error notifications, status updates

Plugin Configuration Examples:

Minimal (No Plugins):

source: {type: postgresql, host: localhost, database: source_db, ...}
destination: {type: postgresql, host: localhost, database: dest_db, ...}
sync: {mode: one_time, batch_size: 1000}
# No plugins section = basic functionality only

With Plugins:

source: {...}
destination: {...}
sync: {...}
plugins:  # Optional section
  transformers: [...]  # Data transformation
  middleware: [...]    # Monitoring and validation
  hooks: [...]         # Alerts and notifications

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Oracle Connection Errors

# Install Oracle client
pip install oracledb

# For TNS name issues, check tnsnames.ora
export TNS_ADMIN=/path/to/tns/admin

Cron Expression Validation

# Test cron expressions online: https://crontab.guru/
# Common mistake: Using 6 fields instead of 5
# Correct: "0 */2 * * *" (every 2 hours)
# Wrong: "0 0 */2 * * *" (6 fields)

Watermark Storage Issues

# Check SQLite file permissions
ls -la /var/lib/evolvishub/watermarks.db

# Verify directory exists and is writable
mkdir -p /var/lib/evolvishub
chmod 755 /var/lib/evolvishub

Configuration Validation

# Test configuration loading
from evolvishub_data_handler.config_loader import load_config
config = load_config("config.yaml")
print("Configuration is valid!")
