fabrictools 0.1.0

User-friendly PySpark helpers for Microsoft Fabric Lakehouses and Warehouses

fabrictools

User-friendly PySpark helpers for Microsoft Fabric — read, write, and merge Lakehouses and Warehouses with a single function call.

---

Features

• Auto-resolved paths — pass a Lakehouse or Warehouse name, no ABFS URL configuration required
• Auto-detected SparkSession — uses SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate(), works seamlessly inside Fabric notebooks
• Auto-detected format on read — tries Delta → Parquet → CSV automatically
• Delta merge (upsert) — one-liner upsert into any Lakehouse Delta table
• Built-in logging — every operation logs its resolved path, detected format, and row/column count

---

Requirements

• Microsoft Fabric Spark runtime (provides notebookutils, pyspark, and delta-spark)
• Python >= 3.9

Local development: install the spark extras to get PySpark and delta-spark. notebookutils is only available inside Fabric — functions that resolve paths will raise a clear ValueError outside Fabric.

---

Installation

# Inside a Fabric notebook or pipeline
pip install fabrictools

# Local development (includes PySpark + delta-spark)
pip install "fabrictools[spark]"

---

Quick start

import fabrictools as ft

Read a Lakehouse dataset

# Auto-detects Delta → Parquet → CSV
df = ft.read_lakehouse("BronzeLakehouse", "sales/2024")

Write to a Lakehouse

ft.write_lakehouse(
    df,
    lakehouse_name="SilverLakehouse",
    relative_path="sales_clean",
    mode="overwrite",
    partition_by=["year", "month"],   # optional
)

Merge (upsert) into a Delta table

ft.merge_lakehouse(
    source_df=new_df,
    lakehouse_name="SilverLakehouse",
    relative_path="sales_clean",
    merge_condition="src.id = tgt.id",
    # update_set and insert_set are optional:
    # omit them to update/insert all columns automatically
)

With explicit column mappings:

ft.merge_lakehouse(
    source_df=new_df,
    lakehouse_name="SilverLakehouse",
    relative_path="sales_clean",
    merge_condition="src.id = tgt.id",
    update_set={"amount": "src.amount", "updated_at": "src.updated_at"},
    insert_set={"id": "src.id", "amount": "src.amount", "updated_at": "src.updated_at"},
)

Read from a Warehouse

df = ft.read_warehouse("MyWarehouse", "SELECT * FROM dbo.sales WHERE year = 2024")

Write to a Warehouse

ft.write_warehouse(
    df,
    warehouse_name="MyWarehouse",
    table="dbo.sales_clean",
    mode="overwrite",       # or "append"
    batch_size=10_000,      # optional, default 10 000
)

API reference

Lakehouse

Function	Description
read_lakehouse(lakehouse_name, relative_path, spark=None)	Read a dataset — auto-detects Delta / Parquet / CSV
write_lakehouse(df, lakehouse_name, relative_path, mode, partition_by, format, spark=None)	Write a DataFrame (default: Delta, overwrite)
merge_lakehouse(source_df, lakehouse_name, relative_path, merge_condition, update_set, insert_set, spark=None)	Upsert via Delta merge

Warehouse

Function	Description
read_warehouse(warehouse_name, query, spark=None)	Run a SQL query, return a DataFrame
write_warehouse(df, warehouse_name, table, mode, batch_size, spark=None)	Write to a Warehouse table via JDBC

How path resolution works

lakehouse_name="BronzeLakehouse"
       │
       ▼
notebookutils.lakehouse.get("BronzeLakehouse")
       │
       ▼
lh.properties.abfsPath
= "abfss://bronze@<account>.dfs.core.windows.net"
       │
       ▼
full_path = abfsPath + "/" + relative_path

---

Running the tests

pip install "fabrictools[dev]"
pytest
