splurge-data-profiler 0.1.0

A data profiling tool for delimited and database sources.

Splurge Data Profiler

A powerful data profiling tool for delimited and database sources that automatically infers data types and creates optimized data lakes (SQLite database).

Features

• DSV File Support: Profile CSV, TSV, and other delimiter-separated value files
• Automatic Type Inference: Intelligently detect data types using adaptive sampling
• Data Lake Creation: Generate SQLite databases with optimized schemas
• Inferred Tables: Create tables with both original and type-cast columns
• Flexible Configuration: JSON-based configuration for customization
• Command Line Interface: Easy-to-use CLI for batch processing

Installation

pip install splurge-data-profiler

Quick Start

1. Create a configuration file:

python -m splurge_data_profiler create-config examples/example_config.json

2. Profile your data:

python -m splurge_data_profiler profile examples/example_data.csv examples/example_config.json

CLI Usage

Profile Command

Profile a DSV file and create a data lake:

python -m splurge_data_profiler profile <dsv_file> <config_file> [options]

Options:

• --verbose: Enable verbose output

Examples:

# Basic profiling
python -m splurge_data_profiler profile examples/example_data.csv examples/example_config.json

# Verbose output
python -m splurge_data_profiler profile examples/example_data.csv examples/example_config.json --verbose

Create Config Command

Generate a sample configuration file:

python -m splurge_data_profiler create-config <output_file>

Example:

python -m splurge_data_profiler create-config examples/example_config.json

Configuration File

The configuration file is a JSON file that specifies how to process your DSV file:

{
  "data_lake_path": "./data_lake",
  "dsv": {
    "delimiter": ",",
    "strip": true,
    "bookend": "\"",
    "bookend_strip": true,
    "encoding": "utf-8",
    "skip_header_rows": 0,
    "skip_footer_rows": 0,
    "header_rows": 1,
    "skip_empty_rows": true
  }
}

Configuration Options

Required Fields

• data_lake_path: Directory where the SQLite database will be created

DSV Configuration (dsv object)

• delimiter: Character used to separate values (default: ",")
• strip: Whether to strip whitespace from values (default: true)
• bookend: Character used to quote values (default: "\"")
• bookend_strip: Whether to strip bookend characters (default: true)
• encoding: File encoding (default: "utf-8")
• skip_header_rows: Number of header rows to skip (default: 0)
• skip_footer_rows: Number of footer rows to skip (default: 0)
• header_rows: Number of header rows (default: 1)
• skip_empty_rows: Whether to skip empty rows (default: true)

Note: The profiler always uses adaptive sampling and always creates an inferred table.

Examples

Example 1: Basic Profiling

1. Create a configuration:

python -m splurge_data_profiler create-config examples/example_config.json

2. Profile your data:

python -m splurge_data_profiler profile examples/example_data.csv examples/example_config.json

Output:

=== PROFILING RESULTS ===
id: INTEGER
name: TEXT
age: INTEGER
salary: FLOAT
is_active: BOOLEAN
hire_date: DATE
last_login: DATETIME

Profiling completed successfully!

Note: Datetime values should be in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) for proper type inference.

Example 2: With Inferred Table

python -m splurge_data_profiler profile examples/example_data.csv examples/example_config.json

This creates an additional table with:

• Original columns (preserving text values)
• Cast columns with inferred data types

Example 3: Verbose Output

python -m splurge_data_profiler profile examples/example_data.csv examples/example_config.json --verbose

Data Types

The profiler can infer the following data types:

• TEXT: String values
• INTEGER: Whole numbers
• FLOAT: Decimal numbers
• BOOLEAN: True/false values
• DATE: Date values (YYYY-MM-DD)
• TIME: Time values (HH:MM:SS)
• DATETIME: Date and time values (ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)

Adaptive Sampling

When no sample size is specified, the profiler uses adaptive sampling:

• Datasets < 25K rows: 100% sample
• Datasets 25K-50K rows: 50% sample
• Datasets 50K-100K rows: 25% sample
• Datasets 100K-500K rows: 20% sample
• Datasets > 500K rows: 10% sample

Programmatic Usage

You can also use the profiler programmatically:

from splurge_data_profiler.data_lake import DataLakeFactory
from splurge_data_profiler.profiler import Profiler
from splurge_data_profiler.source import DsvSource

# Create DSV source
dsv_source = DsvSource(
    file_path="examples/example_data.csv",
    delimiter=",",
    encoding="utf-8"
)

# Create data lake
data_lake = DataLakeFactory.from_dsv_source(
    dsv_source=dsv_source,
    data_lake_path="./data_lake"
)

# Create profiler and run profiling
profiler = Profiler(data_lake=data_lake)
profiler.profile()

# Get results
for column in profiler.profiled_columns:
    print(f"{column.name}: {column.inferred_type}")

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• SQLAlchemy >= 2.0.37
• splurge-tools == 0.2.4
