kedro.io.DataCatalog¶

class kedro.io.DataCatalog(data_sets=None, feed_dict=None, transformers=None, default_transformers=None, journal=None, layers=None)[source]¶

DataCatalog stores instances of AbstractDataSet implementations to provide load and save capabilities from anywhere in the program. To use a DataCatalog, you need to instantiate it with a dictionary of data sets. Then it will act as a single point of reference for your calls, relaying load and save functions to the underlying data sets.

Methods

`add`(data_set_name, data_set[, replace])	Adds a new `AbstractDataSet` object to the `DataCatalog`.
`add_all`(data_sets[, replace])	Adds a group of new data sets to the `DataCatalog`.
`add_feed_dict`(feed_dict[, replace])	Adds instances of `MemoryDataSet`, containing the data provided through feed_dict.
`add_transformer`(transformer[, data_set_names])	Add a `DataSet` Transformer to the:class:~kedro.io.DataCatalog.
`confirm`(name)	Confirm a dataset by its name.
`exists`(name)	Checks whether registered data set exists by calling its exists() method.
`from_config`(catalog[, credentials, …])	Create a `DataCatalog` instance from configuration.
`list`([regex_search])	List of all `DataSet` names registered in the catalog.
`load`(name[, version])	Loads a registered data set.
`release`(name)	Release any cached data associated with a data set
`save`(name, data)	Save data to a registered data set.
`shallow_copy`()	Returns a shallow copy of the current object.

DataCatalog stores instances of AbstractDataSet implementations to provide load and save capabilities from anywhere in the program. To use a DataCatalog, you need to instantiate it with a dictionary of data sets. Then it will act as a single point of reference for your calls, relaying load and save functions to the underlying data sets.

Parameters

data_sets (Optional[Dict[str, AbstractDataSet]]) – A dictionary of data set names and data set instances.
feed_dict (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – A feed dict with data to be added in memory.
transformers (Optional[Dict[str, List[AbstractTransformer]]]) – A dictionary of lists of transformers to be applied to the data sets.
default_transformers (Optional[List[AbstractTransformer]]) – A list of transformers to be applied to any new data sets.
journal (Optional[Journal]) – Instance of Journal.

}, replace=True)

assert io.load("data").equals(df)

Return type: None

add_transformer(transformer, data_set_names=None)[source]¶

Add a DataSet Transformer to the:class:~kedro.io.DataCatalog. Transformers can modify the way Data Sets are loaded and saved.

Parameters

transformer (AbstractTransformer) – The transformer instance to add.
data_set_names (Union[str, Iterable[str], None]) – The Data Sets to add the transformer to. Or None to add the transformer to all Data Sets.

Raises

DataSetNotFoundError – When a transformer is being added to a non existent data set.

confirm(name)[source]¶

Confirm a dataset by its name.

Parameters: name (str) – Name of the dataset.
Raises: DataSetError – When the dataset does not have confirm method.
Return type: None

exists(name)[source]¶

Checks whether registered data set exists by calling its exists() method. Raises a warning and returns False if exists() is not implemented.

Parameters: name (str) – A data set to be checked.
Return type: bool
Returns: Whether the data set output exists.

classmethod from_config(catalog, credentials=None, load_versions=None, save_version=None, journal=None)[source]¶

Create a DataCatalog instance from configuration. This is a factory method used to provide developers with a way to instantiate DataCatalog with configuration parsed from configuration files.

Parameters

catalog (Optional[Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]]) – A dictionary whose keys are the data set names and the values are dictionaries with the constructor arguments for classes implementing AbstractDataSet. The data set class to be loaded is specified with the key type and their fully qualified class name. All kedro.io data set can be specified by their class name only, i.e. their module name can be omitted.
credentials (Optional[Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]]) – A dictionary containing credentials for different data sets. Use the credentials key in a AbstractDataSet to refer to the appropriate credentials as shown in the example below.
load_versions (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – A mapping between dataset names and versions to load. Has no effect on data sets without enabled versioning.
save_version (Optional[str]) – Version string to be used for save operations by all data sets with enabled versioning. It must: a) be a case-insensitive string that conforms with operating system filename limitations, b) always return the latest version when sorted in lexicographical order.
journal (Optional[Journal]) – Instance of Journal.

Return type

DataCatalog

Returns

An instantiated DataCatalog containing all specified data sets, created and ready to use.

Raises

DataSetError – When the method fails to create any of the data sets from their config.
DataSetNotFoundError – When load_versions refers to a dataset that doesn’t exist in the catalog.

catalog = DataCatalog.from_config(config, credentials)

df = catalog.load("cars")
catalog.save("boats", df)

list(regex_search=None)[source]¶

List of all DataSet names registered in the catalog. This can be filtered by providing an optional regular expression which will only return matching keys.
