Timbr Python SQLAlchemy connector

timbr Python connector using SQLAlchemy

This project is a python connector to timbr using SQLAlchemy.

Dependencies

• For Linux based machines only install those dependencies first:
  • gcc
  • heimdal-dev
  • krb5
  • python-devel
  • python-dev
  • python-all-dev
  • libsasl2-dev
• Ubuntu example:
  • apt install gcc, heimdal-dev, krb5, python-devel, python-dev, python-all-dev, libsasl2-dev

Installation

• Install as clone repository:

  • Install Python: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3913/
  • Run the following command to install the Python dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

• Install using pip and git:

  • pip install git+https://github.com/WPSemantix/timbr_python_SQLAlchemy

Sample usage

• For an example of how to use the Python SQLAlchemy connector for timbr, follow this example file
• For an example of how to use the Python SQLAlchemy connector with 'PyHive' as async query for timbr, follow this example file
• For an example of how to use the Python SQLAlchemy connector with 'PyHive' as sync query for timbr, follow this example file

Connection parameters

General example

  hostname = '<TIMBR_IP/HOST>'
  port = '<TIMBR_PORT>'
  ontology = '<ONTOLOGY_NAME>'
  protocol = '<http/https>'
  username = '<TIMBR_USER/token>'
  password = '<TIMBR_PASSWORD/TOKEN_VALUE>'

  # hostname - The IP / Hostname of the Timbr server (not necessarily the hostname of the Timbr platform).
  # port - The port to connect to in the Timbr server. Timbr's default port with enabled_ssl is 443 without SSL is 11000.
  # ontology = The name of the ontology (knowledge graph) to connect.
  # protocol - Connection protocol can be 'http' or 'https'.
  # username - Use 'token' as the username when connecting using a Timbr token, otherwise use the user name.
  # password - If using a token as a username then the pass is the token value, otherwise its the user's password.

HTTP example with dummy data

Username and password

  hostname = 'mytimbrenv.com'
  port = '11000'
  ontology = 'my_ontology'
  protocol = 'http'
  username = 'timbr'
  password = 'StrongPassword'

Timbr token

  hostname = 'mytimbrenv.com'
  port = '11000'
  ontology = 'my_ontology'
  protocol = 'http'
  username = 'token'
  password = '<TOKEN_VALUE>'

HTTPS example with dummy data

Username and password

  hostname = 'mytimbrenv.com'
  port = '443'
  ontology = 'my_ontology'
  protocol = 'https'
  username = 'timbr'
  password = 'StrongPassword'

Timbr token

  hostname = 'mytimbrenv.com'
  port = '443'
  ontology = 'my_ontology'
  protocol = 'https'
  username = 'token'
  password = '<TOKEN_VALUE>'

Connect options

Connect using 'pytimbr_sqla' and 'SQLAlchemy' packages

  from sqlalchemy import create_engine

  # Declare the connection variables
  # General example
  hostname = '<TIMBR_IP/HOST>'
  port = '<TIMBR_PORT>'
  ontology = '<ONTOLOGY_NAME>'
  protocol = '<http/https>'
  username = '<TIMBR_USER/token>'
  password = '<TIMBR_PASSWORD/TOKEN_VALUE>'

  # hostname - The IP / Hostname of the Timbr server (not necessarily the hostname of the Timbr platform).
  # port - The port to connect to in the Timbr server. Timbr's default port with enabled_ssl is 443 without SSL is 11000.
  # ontology = The name of the ontology (knowledge graph) to connect.
  # protocol - Connection protocol can be 'http' or 'https'.
  # username - Use 'token' as the username when connecting using a Timbr token, otherwise use the user name.
  # password - If using a token as a username then the pass is the token value, otherwise its the user's password.

  # Create new sqlalchemy connection
  engine = create_engine(f"timbr+{protocol}://{username}@{ontology}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}")

  # Connect to the created engine
  conn = engine.connect()

  # Execute a query
  query = "SHOW CONCEPTS"
  res_obj = conn.execute(query)
  results_headers = [(desc[0], desc[1]) for desc in res_obj.cursor.description]

  # Optional Performance Tuning:
  # By default, Timbr fetches results in batches of 10,000 rows at a time.
  # You can increase this batch size for better performance with large datasets.
  # Note: The maximum batch size is controlled by your Timbr server's 
  # "TIMBR_RESULTSET_MAX_FETCH_SIZE" configuration setting.
  res_obj.cursor._arraysize = 20000

  results = res_obj.fetchall()

  # Print the columns name
  for name, col_type in results_headers:
    print(f"{name} - {col_type}")
  # Print the results
  for result in results:
    print(result)

Attention:

timbr works only as async when running a query, if you want to use standard PyHive you have two options

Connect using 'PyHive' and 'SQLAlchemy' packages

Connect using PyHive Async Query

  from sqlalchemy import create_engine
  from TCLIService.ttypes import TOperationState

  # Declare the connection variables
  # General example
  hostname = '<TIMBR_IP/HOST>'
  port = '<TIMBR_PORT>'
  ontology = '<ONTOLOGY_NAME>'
  protocol = '<http/https>'
  username = '<TIMBR_USER/token>'
  password = '<TIMBR_PASSWORD/TOKEN_VALUE>'
  connect_args = {
    'configuration': {
      'set:hiveconf:hiveMetadata': 'true',
      'set:hiveconf:active_datasource': '<datasource_name>',
      'set:hiveconf:queryTimeout': '<TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS>',
    },
  }

  # ontology = The name of the ontology (knowledge graph) to connect.

  # username - Use 'token' as the username when connecting using a Timbr token, otherwise use the user name.
  # password - If using a token as a username then the pass is the token value, otherwise its the user's password.
  # connect_args - The connection special arguments for extra customization. The only argument you must have is the first one (set:hiveconf:hiveMetadata) the others are optional.

  # Create new sqlalchemy connection
  engine = create_engine(f"hive+{protocol}://{username}@{ontology}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}", connect_args = connect_args)

  # Connect to the created engine
  conn = engine.connect()
  dbapi_conn = engine.raw_connection()
  cursor = dbapi_conn.cursor()

  # Execute a query
  query = "SHOW CONCEPTS"
  cursor.execute(query)

  # Check the status of this execution
  status = cursor.poll().operationState
  while status in (TOperationState.INITIALIZED_STATE, TOperationState.RUNNING_STATE):
    status = cursor.poll().operationState

  # Get the results of the execution
  results_headers = [(desc[0], desc[1]) for desc in cursor.description]
  results = cursor.fetchall()

  # Display the results of the execution
  # Print the columns name
  for name, col_type in results_headers:
    print(f"{name} - {col_type}")
  # Print the results
  for result in results:
    print(result)
