Python bindings for sharkbite, a native Apache Accumulo Key/Value Connector
Project description
Sharkbite
Sharkbite is a native client for key/value stores. With initial support for Apache Accumulo, the design can and has been used to support other key/value stores. Development began in 2014 and has slowly evolved. there is no structural specificity to Accumulo despite being the base implementation. Despite this the examples below will look very much like Accumulo due to aliasing. This is intentional.
Capabilities That will be supported in V0.6 :
- Pysharkbite, the native python implementation can be installed via pip install sharkbite for linux and osx
- Works with Accumulo 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8.x, 1.9.x and 2.x
- Read/Write : Reading and writing data to Accumulo is currently supported.
- Table Operations : Most table operations are currently supported. This includes the fate operations that the normal Accumulo client performs.
- Security Operations : Security operations aren't all implemented, but you should be able to add users, change authorizations, passwords, and remove users.
Current Master progress
- Development is focusing on abstracting out 2.x changes for Apache Accumulo.
- Help is desired in abstracting these thrift changes.
About the name
Sharkbite's name originated from design as a connector that abstracted components in which we tightly coupled and gripped interfaces of the underlying datastore. With an abstraction layer for access, and using cross compatible objects, the underlying interfaces are heavily coupled to each database. As a result, Sharkbite became a fitting name since interfaces exist to abstract the high coupling that exists within implementations of the API.
Requirements
GNU 4+
cmake
make
For Libthrift
bison 3+
automake
autotool
autoconf
libtool
libevent-dev
unzip
Building Linux
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . ; make test
This will build the package and library, which you can use. It will also build
examples in the examples directory+
Building on OSX
Follow the same procedures as above, but you may need to force linking bison 3.x if you installed it via Homebrew
What we provide
Please note that the library of sharkbite consists of C bindings to allow you to create various connectors via our C interfaces and a Python binding built via Pybind11.
Python Lib
The Python library can be installed by simply typing pip install . into the root source directory. During this process the C++ library and python bindings will be built.
A Python example is included. This is your primary example of the Python bound sharkbite library.
Python Iterators (! BETA )
We now support a beta version of python iterators. By using the cmake option PYTHON_ITERATOR_SUPPORT ( cmake -DPYTHON_ITERATOR_SUPPORT=ON ) we will build the necessary infrastructure to support python iterators
Iterators can be defined as single function lambdas or by implementing the seek or next methods.
The first example implements the seek and onNext methods. seek is optional if you don't wish to adjust the range. Once keys are being iterated you may get the top key. You may call iterator.next() after or the infrastructure will do that for you.
class myIterator:
def seek(iterator,soughtRange):
range = Range("a")
iterator.seek(range)
def onNext(iterator):
if (iterator.hasTop()):
kv = KeyValue()
key = iterator.getTopKey()
cf = key.getColumnFamily()
value = iterator.getTopValue()
key.setColumnFamily("oh changed " + cf)
iterator.next()
return KeyValue(key,value)
else:
return None
If this is defined in a separate file, you may use it with the following code snippet
with open('test.iter', 'r') as file:
iterator = file.read()
## name, iterator text, priority
iterator = pysharkbite.PythonIterator("PythonIterator",iteratortext,100)
scanner.addIterator(iterator)
Alternative you may use lambdas. The lambda you provide will be passed the KeyValue ( getKey() and getValue() return the constituent parts). A partial code example of setting it up is below. You may return a Key or KeyValue object. If you return the former an empty value will be return ed.
## define only the name and priority
iterator = pysharkbite.PythonIterator("PythonIterator",100)
## define a lambda to ajust the column family.
iterator = iterator.onNext("lambda x : Key( x.getKey().getRow(), 'new cf', x.getKey().getColumnQualifier()) ")
scanner.addIterator(iterator)
You may either define a python iterator as a text implementation or a lambda. Both cannot be used simulaneously.
C Library
The C library is a wrapper around the C++ Code. We supply a target called "capi". We have an example built to use [python via our C-Library using C-Types ](https://github.com/phrocker/sharkbite/blob/master/c-library-examples/python/example.py].
This python example is vestigial and only exists as an example of the C-API wrappers. Implementations can be written in Go, Rust, Ruby, etc.
