sd-beam-nuggets 0.15.3

Collection of transforms for the Apache beam python SDK. Forks the original Mohamed Haseeb repository to make some workarounds

About

A collection of random transforms for the Apache beam python SDK . Many are simple transforms. The most useful ones are those for reading/writing from/to relational databases.

Installation

• Using pip

pip install beam-nuggets

• From source

git clone [e-mail]:mohaseeb/beam-nuggets.git
cd beam-nuggets
pip install .

Supported transforms

IO

• relational_db.ReadFromDB for reading from relational database tables.
• relational_db.Write for writing to relational database tables.
  Above transforms uses SqlAlchemy to communicate with the database, and hence they can read from and write to all relational databases supported by SqlAlchemy. The transforms are tested against PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite.
• kafkaio.KafkaProduce for writing to Kafka topics.
• kafkaio.KafkaConsume for consuming from kafka topics.
• csvio.Read for reading CSV files.

Others

• SelectFromNestedDict Selects a subset from records formed of nested dictionaries.
• ParseJson
• AssignUniqueId

Usage

Write data to an SQLite table using beam-nugget's relational_db.Write transform.

# write_sqlite.py contents
import apache_beam as beam
from apache_beam.options.pipeline_options import PipelineOptions
from beam_nuggets.io import relational_db

records = [
    {'name': 'Jan', 'num': 1},
    {'name': 'Feb', 'num': 2}
]

source_config = relational_db.SourceConfiguration(
    drivername='sqlite',
    database='/tmp/months_db.sqlite',
    create_if_missing=True  # create the database if not there 
)

table_config = relational_db.TableConfiguration(
    name='months',
    create_if_missing=True,  # automatically create the table if not there
    primary_key_columns=['num']  # and use 'num' column as primary key
)

with beam.Pipeline(options=PipelineOptions()) as p:  # Will use local runner
    months = p | "Reading month records" >> beam.Create(records)
    months | 'Writing to DB' >> relational_db.Write(
        source_config=source_config,
        table_config=table_config
    )

Execute the pipeline

python write_sqlite.py 

Examine the contents

sqlite3 /tmp/months_db.sqlite 'select * from months'
# output:
# 1.0|Jan
# 2.0|Feb

To write the same data to a PostgreSQL table instead, just create a suitable relational_db.SourceConfiguration as follows.

source_config = relational_db.SourceConfiguration(
    drivername='postgresql+pg8000',
    host='localhost',
    port=5432,
    username='postgres',
    password='password',
    database='calendar',
    create_if_missing=True  # create the database if not there 
)

An example showing how you can use beam-nugget's relational_db.ReadFromDB transform to read from a PostgreSQL database table.

from __future__ import print_function
import apache_beam as beam
from apache_beam.options.pipeline_options import PipelineOptions
from beam_nuggets.io import relational_db

with beam.Pipeline(options=PipelineOptions()) as p:
    source_config = relational_db.SourceConfiguration(
        drivername='postgresql+pg8000',
        host='localhost',
        port=5432,
        username='postgres',
        password='password',
        database='calendar',
    )
    records = p | "Reading records from db" >> relational_db.ReadFromDB(
        source_config=source_config,
        table_name='months',
        query='select num, name from months'  # optional. When omitted, all table records are returned. 
    )
    records | 'Writing to stdout' >> beam.Map(print)
