1. Introduction

This repository is a library for creating th2-data-services applications.

Data Services is a tool for analyzing stream data from "Report Data Provider" via aggregate operations. The tool allows the user to manipulate the workflow to analyze the required data.

Current capabilities:

• Filtering stream data
• Transforming stream data

2. Getting started

2.1. Installation

• From PyPI (pip)
  This package can be found on PyPI.

  pip install th2-data-services
  

• From Source

  git clone https://github.com/th2-net/th2-data-services
  pip install th2-data-services/
  

2.2. Example

A good, short example is worth a thousand words.

This example works with Events, but you also can do the same actions with Messages.

The following example as a file.

2.3. Theory

The library provides stream data and some tools for data manipulation.

What’s the definition of a stream?
A short definition is "a sequence of elements from a source that supports aggregate operations."

Terms

• Data object: An object of Data class which is wrapper under stream.

• Sequence of elements: A Data object provides an interface to a sequenced set of values of a specific element type. Stream inside the Data object don’t actually store elements; they are computed on demand.

• DataSource: Streams consume from a data-providing source (Report Data Provider) but it also can be collections, arrays, or I/O resources. DataSource object provides connection to th2-rpt-provider or read csv files from cradle-viewer.

• Aggregate operations: Common operations such as filter, map, find and so on.

Data caching

The Data object provides the ability to use cache. The cache works for each Data object, that is, you choose which Data object you want to save. The Data object cache is saved after the first iteration, but the iteration source may be different.

If you don't use the cache, your source will be the data source you have in the Data Object. But if you use cache, your source can be the data source, the parent cache, or own cache:

• The data source: If the "Data Object" doesn't have a parent cache and its cache.
• The parent cache: If the "Data Object" has a parent cache. It doesn't matter what position the parent cache has in inheritance. "Data Object" understands whose cache it is and executes the part of the workflow that was not executed.
• The own cache: If it is not the first iteration of this Data object.

Note that the cache state of the Data object is not inherited.

Stream operations

Stream operations have two fundamental characteristics that make them very different from collection operations: Pipelining and Internal iteration.

Pipelining

Many stream operations return a stream themselves. This allows operations to be chained to form a larger pipeline.

Internal iteration

In contrast to collections, which are iterated explicitly (external iteration), stream operations do the iteration behind the scenes for you. Note, it doesn't mean you cannot iterate the Data object.

EventsTree and collections

EventsTree

EventsTree is a tree-based data structure of events. It allows you get children and parents of event, display tree, get full path to event etc.

Details:

• EventsTree contains all events in memory.
• To reduce memory usage an EventsTreeCollection delete the 'body' field from events, but you can preserve it specify 'preserve_body'.
• Tree has some important terms:
  1. Ancestor is any relative of the event up the tree (grandparent, parent etc.).
  2. Parent is only the first relative of the event up the tree.
  3. Child is the first relative of the event down the tree.

Take a look at the following HTML tree to understand them.

 <body> <!-- ancestor (grandparent), but not parent -->
     <div> <!-- parent & ancestor -->
         <p>Hello, world!</p> <!-- child -->
         <p>Goodbye!</p> <!-- sibling -->
     </div>
 </body>

Collections

EventsTreeCollection is a collection of EventsTrees. The collection builds a few EventsTree by passed Data object. Although you can change the tree directly, it's better to do it through collections because they are aware of detached_events and can solve some events dependencies. The collection has similar features like a single EventsTree but applying them for all EventsTrees.

ParentEventsTreeCollection is a collection similar to EventsTreeCollection but containing only parent events that are referenced in the data stream. It will be working data in the collection and trees of collection. The collection has features similar to EventsTreeCollection.

Details:

• The collection has a feature to recover events. All events that are not in the received data stream, but which are referenced will be loaded from the data source.
• If you haven't passed a DataSource object then the recovery of events will not occur.
• You can take detached_events to see which events are missing. It looks like {parent_id: [events are referenced]}
• If you want, you can build parentless trees where the missing events are stubbed instead. Just use get_parentless_trees().

Requirements:

1. Events have to have event_name, event_id, parent_event_id fields, which are described in the passed event_struct object.

Hints

• Remove all unnecessary fields from events before passing to a collection to reduce memory usage.
• Use show() method to print the tree in tree-like view.
• Note that the get_x methods will raise an exception if you pass an unknown event id, unlike the find_x methods (they return None).
• If you want to know that specified event exists, use the python in keyword (e.g. 'event-id' in events_tree).
• Use the python len keyword to get events number in the tree.
