bytewax.connectors.files#

Connectors for local text files.

Classes#

class DirSource(
dir_path: Path,
glob_pat: str = '*',
batch_size: int = 1000,
get_fs_id: Callable[[Path], str] = _get_path_dev,
)#
Bases:

Read all files in a filesystem directory line-by-line.

The directory must exist on at least one worker. Each worker can have unique files at overlapping paths if each worker mounts a distinct filesystem. Tries to read only one instance of each unique file in the whole cluster by deduplicating paths by filesystem ID. See get_fs_id argument to adjust this.

Unique files are the unit of parallelism; only one worker will read each unique file. Thus, lines from different files are interleaved.

Can support exactly-once processing.

Initialization

Init.

Parameters:
  • dir_path – Path to directory.

  • glob_pat – Pattern of files to read from the directory. Defaults to "*" or all files.

  • batch_size – Number of lines to read per batch. Defaults to 1000.

  • get_fs_id

    Called with the directory and must return a consistent (across workers and restarts) unique ID for the filesystem of that directory. Defaults to using os.stat_result.st_dev.

    If you know all workers have access to identical files, you can have this return a constant: lambda _dir: "SHARED".

class FileSource(
path: Union[Path, str],
batch_size: int = 1000,
get_fs_id: Callable[[Path], str] = _get_path_dev,
)#
Bases:

Read a path line-by-line from the filesystem.

The path must exist on at least one worker. Each worker can have a unique file at the path if each worker mounts a distinct filesystem. Tries to read only one instance of each unique file in the whole cluster by deduplicating paths by filesystem ID. See get_fs_id argument to adjust this.

Unique files are the unit of parallelism; only one worker will read each unique file. Thus, lines from different files are interleaved.

Initialization

Init.

Parameters:
  • path – Path to file.

  • batch_size – Number of lines to read per batch. Defaults to 1000.

  • get_fs_id

    Called with the parent directory and must return a consistent (across workers and restarts) unique ID for the filesystem of that directory. Defaults to using os.stat_result.st_dev.

    If you know all workers have access to identical files, you can have this return a constant: lambda _dir: "SHARED".

class CSVSource(
path: Path,
batch_size: int = 1000,
get_fs_id: Callable[[Path], str] = _get_path_dev,
**fmtparams,
)#
Bases:

Read a path as a CSV file row-by-row as keyed-by-column dicts.

The path must exist on at least one worker. Each worker can have a unique file at the path if each worker mounts a distinct filesystem. Tries to read only one instance of each unique file in the whole cluster by deduplicating paths by filesystem ID. See get_fs_id argument to adjust this.

Unique files are the unit of parallelism; only one worker will read each unique file. Thus, lines from different files are interleaved.

Sample input:

index,timestamp,value,instance
0,2022-02-24 11:42:08,0.132,24ae8d
0,2022-02-24 11:42:08,0.066,c6585a
0,2022-02-24 11:42:08,42.652,ac20cd

Sample output:

{
    "index": "0",
    "timestamp": "2022-02-24 11:42:08",
    "value": "0.132",
    "instance": "24ae8d",
}
{
    "index": "0",
    "timestamp": "2022-02-24 11:42:08",
    "value": "0.066",
    "instance": "c6585a",
}
{
    "index": "0",
    "timestamp": "2022-02-24 11:42:08",
    "value": "42.652",
    "instance": "ac20cd",
}

Initialization

Init.

Parameters:
  • path – Path to file.

  • batch_size – Number of lines to read per batch. Defaults to 1000.

  • get_fs_id

    Called with the parent directory and must return a consistent (across workers and restarts) unique ID for the filesystem of that directory. Defaults to using os.stat_result.st_dev.

    If you know all workers have access to identical files, you can have this return a constant: lambda _dir: "SHARED".

  • **fmtparams – Any custom formatting arguments you can pass to csv.reader.

class DirSink(
dir_path: Path,
file_count: int,
file_namer: Callable[[int, int], str] = lambda i, _n: ...,
assign_file: Callable[[str], int] = lambda k: ...,
end: str = '\n',
)#
Bases:

Write to a set of files in a filesystem directory line-by-line.

Items consumed from the dataflow must look like two-tuples of (key, value), where the value must look like a string. Use a proceeding map step to do custom formatting.

The directory must exist and contain identical data on all workers, so either run on a single machine or use a shared mount.

Individual files are the unit of parallelism.

Can support exactly-once processing in a batch context. Each file will be truncated during resume so duplicates are prevented. Tailing the output files will result in undefined behavior.

Initialization

Init.

Parameters:
  • dir_path – Path to directory.

  • file_count – Number of separate partition files to create.

  • file_namer – Will be called with two arguments, the file index and total file count, and must return the file name to use for that file partition. Defaults to naming files like "part_{i}", where i is the file index.

  • assign_file – Will be called with the key of each consumed item and must return the file index the value will be written to. Will wrap to the file count if you return a larger value. Defaults to calling zlib.adler32 as a simple globally-consistent hash.

  • end – String to write after each item. Defaults to newline.

class FileSink(path: Path, end: str = '\n')#
Bases:

Write to a single file line-by-line on the filesystem.

Items consumed from the dataflow must look like a string. Use a proceeding map step to do custom formatting.

The file must exist and be identical on all workers.

There is no parallelism; only one worker will actually write to the file.

Can support exactly-once processing in a batch context. The file will be truncated during resume so duplicates are prevented. Tailing the output file will result in undefined behavior.

Initialization

Init.

Parameters:
  • path – Path to file.

  • end – String to write after each item. Defaults to newline.
