PyDeequ

PyDeequ is a Python API for Deequ, a library built on top of Apache Spark for defining "unit tests for data", which measure data quality in large datasets. PyDeequ is written to support usage of Deequ in Python.

License Coverage

There are 4 main components of Deequ, and they are:

Quickstart

The following will quickstart you with some basic usage. For more in-depth examples, take a look in the tutorials/ directory for executable Jupyter notebooks of each module. For documentation on supported interfaces, view the documentation.

Installation

You can install PyDeequ via pip.

pip install pydeequ

Set up a PySpark session

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession, Row
import pydeequ

spark = (SparkSession
    .builder
    .config("spark.jars.packages", pydeequ.deequ_maven_coord)
    .config("spark.jars.excludes", pydeequ.f2j_maven_coord)
    .getOrCreate())

df = spark.sparkContext.parallelize([
            Row(a="foo", b=1, c=5),
            Row(a="bar", b=2, c=6),
            Row(a="baz", b=3, c=None)]).toDF()

Analyzers

from pydeequ.analyzers import *

analysisResult = AnalysisRunner(spark) \
                    .onData(df) \
                    .addAnalyzer(Size()) \
                    .addAnalyzer(Completeness("b")) \
                    .run()

analysisResult_df = AnalyzerContext.successMetricsAsDataFrame(spark, analysisResult)
analysisResult_df.show()

Profile

from pydeequ.profiles import *

result = ColumnProfilerRunner(spark) \
    .onData(df) \
    .run()

for col, profile in result.profiles.items():
    print(profile)

Constraint Suggestions

from pydeequ.suggestions import *

suggestionResult = ConstraintSuggestionRunner(spark) \
             .onData(df) \
             .addConstraintRule(DEFAULT()) \
             .run()

# Constraint Suggestions in JSON format
print(suggestionResult)

Constraint Verification

from pydeequ.checks import *
from pydeequ.verification import *

check = Check(spark, CheckLevel.Warning, "Review Check")

checkResult = VerificationSuite(spark) \
    .onData(df) \
    .addCheck(
        check.hasSize(lambda x: x >= 3) \
        .hasMin("b", lambda x: x == 0) \
        .isComplete("c")  \
        .isUnique("a")  \
        .isContainedIn("a", ["foo", "bar", "baz"]) \
        .isNonNegative("b")) \
    .run()

checkResult_df = VerificationResult.checkResultsAsDataFrame(spark, checkResult)
checkResult_df.show()

Repository

Save to a Metrics Repository by adding the useRepository() and saveOrAppendResult() calls to your Analysis Runner.

from pydeequ.repository import *
from pydeequ.analyzers import *

metrics_file = FileSystemMetricsRepository.helper_metrics_file(spark, 'metrics.json')
repository = FileSystemMetricsRepository(spark, metrics_file)
key_tags = {'tag': 'pydeequ hello world'}
resultKey = ResultKey(spark, ResultKey.current_milli_time(), key_tags)

analysisResult = AnalysisRunner(spark) \
    .onData(df) \
    .addAnalyzer(ApproxCountDistinct('b')) \
    .useRepository(repository) \
    .saveOrAppendResult(resultKey) \
    .run()

To load previous runs, use the repository object to load previous results back in.

result_metrep_df = repository.load() \
    .before(ResultKey.current_milli_time()) \
    .forAnalyzers([ApproxCountDistinct('b')]) \
    .getSuccessMetricsAsDataFrame()

Wrapping up

After you've ran your jobs with PyDeequ, be sure to shut down your Spark session to prevent any hanging processes.

spark.sparkContext._gateway.shutdown_callback_server()
spark.stop()

Contributing Developer Setup

  1. Setup SDKMAN
  2. Setup Java
  3. Setup Apache Spark
  4. Install Poetry
  5. Run tests locally

Setup SDKMAN

SDKMAN is a tool for managing parallel Versions of multiple Software Development Kits on any Unix based system. It provides a convenient command line interface for installing, switching, removing and listing Candidates. SDKMAN! installs smoothly on Mac OSX, Linux, WSL, Cygwin, etc... Support Bash and ZSH shells. See documentation on the SDKMAN! website.

Open your favourite terminal and enter the following:

$ curl -s https://get.sdkman.io | bash
If the environment needs tweaking for SDKMAN to be installed,
the installer will prompt you accordingly and ask you to restart.

Next, open a new terminal or enter:

$ source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"

Lastly, run the following code snippet to ensure that installation succeeded:

$ sdk version

Setup Java

poetry show -o

Running Tests Locally

Take a look at tests in tests/dataquality and tests/jobs

$ poetry run pytest

Running Tests Locally (Docker)

If you have issues installing the dependencies listed above, another way to run the tests and verify your changes is through Docker. There is a Dockerfile that will install the required dependencies and run the tests in a container.

docker build . -t spark-3.3-docker-test
docker run spark-3.3-docker-test
