Spark SQL framework for Databricks jobs

sparqlin

sparqlin is a Spark SQL framework designed to simplify job creation and management in Databricks environments. It integrates with Spark SQL and PySpark for a streamlined development experience.

The framework was specifically created to empower data analysts who may not have deep development skills. It provides a streamlined approach to adopting standard software development life cycles, enabling analysts to focus on working with data without the need to master complex programming paradigms. By leveraging familiar tools like SQL scripts and YAML files, the framework simplifies tasks such as data configuration, transformation, and testing.

This enables teams to:

• Bridge the gap between data analysis and software engineering.
• Enhance collaboration and maintain clear development processes.
• Encourage reusable and maintainable data workflows, all while adhering to best practices.

Features

• Simplifies the creation of Spark SQL jobs for Databricks.
• Flexible integration with PySpark and Spark SQL.
• YAML-based configuration for job definitions.
• Built-in support for testing through pytest.
• Integrated with tools like GitPython and system monitoring via psutil.
• Works with Databricks Bundles.

Installation

You can install sparqlin directly from PyPI using pip. pip install sparqlin

Requirements

sparqlin requires Python 3.11 or higher (Databricks Runtime 15.4 LTS). Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• pyspark>=3.5.0
• pytest
• pyyaml
• psutil
• gitpython

Getting Started

Example Usage of ETL framework

To use sparqlin for creating and running Spark SQL jobs in Databricks, follow these steps:

1. Initialize a Project: Start by creating a structure for your project. For instance, define YAML configuration files for your Databricks jobs.
2. Create Spark SQL transformations: You can create a directory and place .sql files with queries that will run on Databricks.
3. Load and Run Jobs: Use the provided framework functionality to parse configurations and execute jobs efficiently in Databricks.

Here is a typical layout of an analytical project:

databricks_default_project/
|-- README.md
|-- sql/
|   |-- query1.sql
|   |-- query2.sql
|   |-- ...
|-- tests/
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- test_query1.py
|   |-- test_query2.py
|   |-- ...
|-- databricks.yml

Below is an example configuration of jobs and tasks databricks_default_project.job.yml:

        # You can also continue `tasks` to use other frameworks or task types that Databricks support

Example Spark SQL transformation (sql/query.sql)

SELECT * FROM samples.nyctaxi.trips LIMIT 5;

Example Usage of Testing framework

Test Parameterized Dataset Paths

This example tests loading datasets into Spark DataFrames from YAML configuration files. It uses pytest fixtures to dynamically provide the datasets_path.

from sparqlin.testing.helpers import get_spark_dataframe


@pytest.mark.parametrize("datasets_path", ["tests/testing/datasets_test/datasets.yml"], indirect=True)
def test_base_test_config(spark_session, datasets_path):
    # Load test table as DataFrame
    test_table_df = get_spark_dataframe(spark_session, datasets_path, "testdb.test_table")
    second_table_df = get_spark_dataframe(spark_session, datasets_path, "testdb.second_table")

    # Validate record counts
    assert test_table_df.count() == 3
    assert second_table_df.count() == 2

Configuring and Testing Temporary Hive Tables

This example demonstrates how to use BaseTestConfig to register tables as temporary datasets in Spark and perform SQL operations.

from sparqlin.testing.base_test_config import BaseTestConfig


def test_hive_table_operations(hive_data_yaml, tmp_path_factory):
    datasets_file, tmp_path = hive_data_yaml

    # Initialize BaseTestConfig
    config = BaseTestConfig(tmp_path_factory)

    # Set datasets location
    config.DATASETS_LOCATION = datasets_file

    # Create Spark session
    spark = config.create_spark_session()

    # Register tables from YAML file
    config.register_tables(spark)

    # Verify table registration
    test_table_df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM testdb.test_table")
    second_table_df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM testdb.second_table")
    assert test_table_df.count() == 3

    # Perform join operation
    joined_df = test_table_df.join(second_table_df, test_table_df.id == second_table_df.id)
    joined_results = joined_df.select("name", "value").collect()
    assert len(joined_results) == 2
    assert any(row.name == "Alice" and row.value == 100 for row in joined_results)
