ingenii-data-engineering 0.3.0

Facilitate data engineering on the Ingenii Data Platform

Ingenii Data Engineering Package

Details

• Current Version: 0.3.0

Overview

This package provides utilities for data engineering on Ingenii's Azure Data Platform. This can be both used for local development, and is used in the Ingenii Databricks Runtime.

Usage

Import the package to use the functions within.

import ingenii_data_engineering

dbt

Part of this package validates dbt schemas to ensure they are compatible with Databricks and the larger Ingenii Data Platform. This happens when a data pipeline to ingest a file is run, to make sure a file is ingested correctly. Full details of how to set up your dbt schema files in your Data Engineering repository can be found in the Ingenii Data Engineering Example repository.

Pre-processing

This package contains code to facilitate the pre-processing of files before they are ingested by the data platform. This allows users to transform any data into a form that is compatible. See details of working with pre-processing functions in the Ingenii Data Engineering Example repository.

This package also contains the code to turn the pre-processing scripts into a package, ready to be uploaded and used by the Data Platform. Once this package is installed, the command

python -m <package name> <command> <folder with pre-processing code>
python -m ingenii_data_engineering pre_processing_package pre_process

will generate a .whl file in a folder called dist/. For more details, see the Ingenii Data Engineering Example repository.

Development

Prerequisites

1. A working knowledge of git SCM
2. Installation of Python 3.7.3

Set up

1. Complete the 'Getting Started > Prerequisites' section
2. For Windows only:
3. Run make setup: to copy the .env into place (.env-dist > .env)

Getting started

1. Complete the 'Getting Started > Set up' section

2. From the root of the repository, in a terminal (preferably in your IDE) run the following commands to set up a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   . venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   pre-commit install
   

   or for Windows:

   python -m venv venv
   . venv/Scripts/activate
   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   pre-commit install
   

3. Note: if you get a permission denied error when executing the pre-commit install command you'll need to run chmod -R 775 venv/bin/ to recursively update permissions in the venv/bin/ dir

4. The following checks are run as part of pre-commit hooks: flake8(note unit tests are not run as a hook)

Building

1. Complete the 'Getting Started > Set up' section
2. Run make build to create the package in ./dist
3. Run make clean to remove dist files

Testing

1. Complete the 'Getting Started > Set up' and 'Development' sections
2. Run make test to run the unit tests using pytest
3. Run flake8 to run lint checks using flake8
4. Run make qa to run the unit tests and linting in a single command
5. Run make qa to remove pytest files
