NEWS

• Cluster test submission with spetlr-tools
• Upgrade to Python 3.12
• The spetlr library (probably except SQL connection with ODBC) still supports older LTS versions between 9.1 and 13.3, but only 16.4 is tested.
• SQL ODBC driver version 18 is supported (this is a breaking change if you haven't upgraded your ODBC driver).
• Newest CosmosDB connector is tested for compatibility with DBR LTS 16.4.

Description

SPETLR has a lot of great tools for working with ETL in Databricks. But to make it easy for you to consider why you need SPETLR here is a list of the core features:

• ETL framework: A common ETL framework that enables reusable transformations in an object-oriented manner. Standardized structures facilitate cooperation in large teams.

• Integration testing: A framework for creating test databases and tables before deploying to production in order to ensure reliable and stable data platforms. An additional layer of data abstraction allows full integration testing.

• Handlers: Standard connectors with commonly used options reduce boilerplate.

Important Notes

This package can not be run or tested without access to pyspark. However, installing pyspark as part of our installer gave issues when other versions of pyspark were needed. Hence we took out the dependency from our installer.

Installation

Install SPETLR from PyPI:

pip install spetlr

Development Notes

To prepare for development, please install these additional requirements:

• Java 21
• pip install -r requirements_test.txt

Then install the package locally

python setup.py develop

Testing

Local tests

After installing the dev-requirements, execute tests by running:

pytest tests

These tests are located in the ./tests/local folder and only require a Python interpreter. Pull requests will not be accepted if these tests do not pass. If you add new features, please include corresponding tests.

Cluster tests

Tests in the ./tests/cluster folder are designed to run on a Databricks cluster. The Pre-integration Test utilizes Azure Resource deployment - and can only be run by the spetlr-org admins.

To deploy the necessary Azure resources to your own Azure Tenant, run the following command:

.\.github\deploy\deploy.ps1 -uniqueRunId "yourUniqueId"

Be aware that the applied name for uniqueRunId should only contain lower case and numbers, and its length should not exceed 12 characters.

Afterward, execute the following commands:

.\.github\submit\build.ps1
.\.github\submit\submit_test_job.ps1

Build Status

Releases

Releases to PyPI is an Github Action which needs to be manually triggered.

Requirements and dependencies

The library has three txt-files at the root of the repo. These files defines three levels of requirements:

• requirements_install.txt - this file contains the required libraries to be able to install spetlr.
• requirements_test.txt - libraries required to run unit- and integration tests
• requirements_dev.txt - libraries required in the development process in order to contribute to the repo

All libraries and their dependencies are added with a fixed version to the configuration file setup.cfg using the defined requirements from requirements_install.txt.

To upgrade the the dependencies in the setup.cfg file do the following:

1. Create a new branch
2. Run upgrade_requirements.ps1 in your terminal
3. Commit the changes the script has made to the cfg file. If there are no changes, everything is up to date.
4. The PR runs all tests and ensure that the library is compliant with any updates

Note that if it is desired to upgrade a dependency, but not to its newest version, it is possible to set the desired version in the requirements_install.txt, then this will be respected by the upgrade script.
