prefect-datahub
Emit flows & tasks metadata to DataHub REST API with prefect-datahub
Introduction
The prefect-datahub collection allows you to easily integrate DataHub's metadata ingestion capabilities into your Prefect workflows. With this collection, you can emit metadata about your flows, tasks, and workspace to DataHub's metadata service.
Features
- Seamless integration with Prefect workflows
- Support for ingesting metadata of flows, tasks, and workspaces to DataHub GMS REST API
- Easy configuration using Prefect blocks
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- Prefect 2.0.0+ and < 3.0.0+
- A running instance of DataHub
Installation
Install prefect-datahub using pip:
pip install prefect-datahub
We recommend using a Python virtual environment manager such as pipenv, conda, or virtualenv.
Getting Started
1. Set up DataHub
Before using prefect-datahub, you need to deploy an instance of DataHub. Follow the instructions on the DataHub Quickstart page to set up DataHub.
After successful deployment, the DataHub GMS service should be running on http://localhost:8080 if deployed locally.
2. Configure DataHub Emitter
Save your DataHub configuration as a Prefect block:
from prefect_datahub.datahub_emitter import DatahubEmitter
datahub_emitter = DatahubEmitter(
datahub_rest_url="http://localhost:8080",
env="DEV",
platform_instance="local_prefect",
token=None, # generate auth token in the datahub and provide here if gms endpoint is secure
)
datahub_emitter.save("datahub-emitter-test")
Configuration options:
| Config | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| datahub_rest_url | str |
http://localhost:8080 |
DataHub GMS REST URL |
| env | str |
PROD |
Environment for assets (see FabricType) |
| platform_instance | str |
None |
Platform instance for assets (see Platform Instances) |
3. Use DataHub Emitter in Your Workflows
Here's an example of how to use the DataHub Emitter in a Prefect workflow:
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect_datahub.datahub_emitter import DatahubEmitter
from prefect_datahub.entities import Dataset
datahub_emitter_block = DatahubEmitter.load("datahub-emitter-test")
@task(name="Extract", description="Extract the data")
def extract():
return "This is data"
@task(name="Transform", description="Transform the data")
def transform(data, datahub_emitter):
transformed_data = data.split(" ")
datahub_emitter.add_task(
inputs=[Dataset("snowflake", "mydb.schema.tableX")],
outputs=[Dataset("snowflake", "mydb.schema.tableY")],
)
return transformed_data
@flow(name="ETL", description="Extract transform load flow")
def etl():
datahub_emitter = datahub_emitter_block
data = extract()
transformed_data = transform(data, datahub_emitter)
datahub_emitter.emit_flow()
if __name__ == "__main__":
etl()
Note: To emit task metadata, you must call emit_flow() at the end of your flow. Otherwise, no metadata will be emitted.
