qds-sdk 1.0.2-beta

Python SDK for coding to the Qubole Data Service API

[Please visit the project page at https://github.com/qubole/qds-sdk-py]

Qubole Data Service Python SDK

A Python module that provides the tools you need to authenticate with, and use the Qubole Data Service API.

Installation

Run the following command (may need to do this as root):

$ python setup.py install

This should place a command line utility ‘qds.py’ somewhere in your path

$ which qds.py /usr/bin/qds.py

CLI

qds.py allows running Hive, Hadoop and Pig commands against QDS. Users can run commands synchronously - or submit a command and check it’s status.

$ qds.py -h # will print detailed usage

Examples:

1. run a hive query and print the results

   $ qds.py –token ‘xxyyzz’ hivecmd run –query “show tables”

2. pass in api token from bash environment variable

   $ export QDS_API_TOKEN=xxyyzz

3. run the example hadoop command

   $ qds.py hadoopcmd run jar ‘s3://paid-qubole/HadoopAPIExamples/jars/hadoop-0.20.1-dev-streaming.jar’ -files ‘s3n://paid-qubole/HadoopAPIExamples/WordCountPython/mapper.py,s3n://paid-qubole/HadoopAPIExamples/WordCountPython/reducer.py’ -mapper mapper.py -reducer reducer.py -numReduceTasks 1 -input ‘s3n://paid-qubole/default-datasets/gutenberg’ -output ‘s3n://example.bucket.com/wcout’

4. check the status of command # 12345678

   $ qds.py hivecmd check 12345678 {“status”: “done”, … }

SDK API

An example Python application needs to do the following:

1. Set the api_token:

   from qubole import Qubole

   Qubole.configure(api_token=’ksbdvcwdkjn123423’)

2. Use the Command classes defined in commands.py to execute commands. To run Hive Command:

   from commands import *

   hc=HiveCommand.create(query=’show tables’) print “Id: %s, Status: %s” % (str(hc.id), hc.status)
