sparkdantic 0.2.3

A pydantic -> spark schema library

SparkDantic

1️⃣ version: 0.2.3

✍️ author: Mitchell Lisle

PySpark Model Conversion Tool

This Python module provides a utility for converting Pydantic models to PySpark schemas. It's implemented as a class named SparkModel that extends the Pydantic's BaseModel.

Features

• Conversion from Pydantic model to PySpark schema.
• Determination of nullable types.
• Customizable type mapping between Python and PySpark data types.

Dependencies

This module aims to have a small dependency footprint:

• pydantic
• pyspark
• Python's built-in datetime, decimal, types, and typing modules

Usage

Creating a new SparkModel

A SparkModel is a Pydantic model, and you can define one by simply inheriting from SparkModel and defining some fields:

from sparkdantic import SparkModel
from typing import List

class MyModel(SparkModel):
    name: str
    age: int
    hobbies: List[str]

Generating a PySpark Schema

Pydantic has existing models for generating json schemas (with model_json_schema). With a SparkModel you can generate a PySpark schema from the model fields using the model_spark_schema() method:

my_model = MyModel()
spark_schema = my_model.model_spark_schema()

Provides this schema:

StructType([
    StructField('name', StringType(), True),
    StructField('age', IntegerType(), True),
    StructField('hobbies', ArrayType(StringType(), False), True)
])

Contributing

Contributions welcome! If you would like to add a new feature / fix a bug feel free to raise a PR and tag me (mitchelllisle) as a reviewer. Please setup your environment locally to ensure all styling and development flow is as close to the standards set in this project as possible. To do this, the main thing you'll need is poetry. You should also run make install-dev-local which will install the pre-commit-hooks as well as install the project locally. PRs won't be accepted without sufficient tests and we will be strict on maintaining a 100% test coverage.

ℹ️ Note that after you have run make install-dev-local and make a commit we run the test suite as part of the pre-commit hook checks. This is to ensure you don't commit code that breaks the tests. This will also try and commit changes to the COVERAGE.txt file so that we can compare coverage in each PR. Please ensure this file is commited with your changes

ℹ️ Versioning: We use bumpversion to maintain the version across various files. If you submit a PR please run bumpversion to the following rules: bumpversion major: If you are making breaking changes (that is, anyone who already uses this library can no longer rely on existing methods / functionality) bumpversion minor: If you are added functionality or features that maintain existing methods and features bumpversion path: If you are fixing a bug or making some other small change
