tecton.interactive.BatchDataSource

class tecton.interactive.BatchDataSource

BatchDataSource abstracts batch data sources.

BatchFeatureViews and BatchWindowAggregateFeatureViews ingest data from BatchDataSources.

Methods

get_dataframe	Returns this data source’s data as a Tecton DataFrame.
start_stream_preview	Starts a streaming job to write incoming records from this DS’s stream to a temporary table with a given name.
summary	Displays a human readable summary of this data source.

get_dataframe(start_time=None, end_time=None, *, apply_translator=True)

Returns this data source’s data as a Tecton DataFrame.

Parameters

• start_time (Union[DateTime, datetime, None]) – The interval start time from when we want to retrieve source data. If no timezone is specified, will default to using UTC. Can only be defined if apply_translator is True.

• end_time (Union[DateTime, datetime, None]) – The interval end time until when we want to retrieve source data. If no timezone is specified, will default to using UTC. Can only be defined if apply_translator is True.

• apply_translator (bool) – If True, the transformation specified by raw_batch_translator will be applied to the dataframe for the data source.

Returns

A Tecton DataFrame containing the data source’s raw or translated source data.

Raises

TectonValidationError – If apply_translator is False, but start_time or end_time filters are passed in.

start_stream_preview(table_name, *, apply_translator=True, option_overrides=None)

Starts a streaming job to write incoming records from this DS’s stream to a temporary table with a given name.

After records have been written to the table, they can be queried using spark.sql(). If ran in a Databricks notebook, Databricks will also automatically visualize the number of incoming records.

This is a testing method, most commonly used to verify a StreamDataSource is correctly receiving streaming events. Note that the table will grow infinitely large, so this is only really useful for debugging in notebooks.

Parameters

• table_name (str) – The name of the temporary table that this method will write to.

• apply_translator (bool) – Whether to apply this data source’s raw_stream_translator. When True, the translated data will be written to the table. When False, the raw, untranslated data will be written.

• option_overrides (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – A dictionary of Spark readStream options that will override any readStream options set by the data source. Can be used to configure behavior only for the preview, e.g. setting startingOffsets:latest to preview only the most recent events in a Kafka stream.

summary()

Displays a human readable summary of this data source.
