spark-plan-to-sql 0.1.1

Convert Apache Spark Catalyst LogicalPlan JSON back into a logically equivalent SQL statement.

spark-plan-to-sql

Convert Apache Spark Catalyst LogicalPlan JSON dumps back into a logically equivalent SQL statement.

The converter walks the pre-order JSON serialization Spark produces for its LogicalPlan (the same shape exposed via df.queryExecution.logical.toJSON) and emits readable SQL that, when re-executed, returns the same rows as the original query.

Install

pip install spark-plan-to-sql

Python API

import json
from spark_plan_to_sql import plan_to_sql, dict_to_sql

# 1) Plain JSON string
sql = plan_to_sql('[{"class": "...OneRowRelation", "num-children": 0}]')

# 2) Already-parsed Python list (Spark's native format)
with open("plan.json") as f:
    sql = plan_to_sql(json.load(f))

# 3) A dict wrapper, e.g. {"plan": [...]} or {"logicalPlan": [...]}
sql = plan_to_sql({"plan": json.load(open("plan.json"))})

# 4) Strict dict-only helper
sql = dict_to_sql({"logicalPlan": [...]})

The function accepts:

• str / bytes — JSON text
• list[dict] — Spark's native pre-order plan list
• dict — either a single leaf node or a wrapper such as {"plan": [...]} / {"logicalPlan": [...]} / {"nodes": [...]}

CLI

# Convert one or more files (prints to stdout)
spark-plan-to-sql plan.json plan2.json

# Batch convert a directory of plans into ./restored_sql/
spark-plan-to-sql --dir test_json --out restored_sql
