kedro_datasets.snowflake.SnowparkTableDataSet¶

class kedro_datasets.snowflake.SnowparkTableDataSet(table_name, schema=None, database=None, load_args=None, save_args=None, credentials=None, metadata=None)[source]¶

SnowparkTableDataSet loads and saves Snowpark dataframes.

As of Mar-2023, the snowpark connector only works with Python 3.8.

Example usage for the YAML API:

weather:
  type: kedro_datasets.snowflake.SnowparkTableDataSet
  table_name: "weather_data"
  database: "meteorology"
  schema: "observations"
  credentials: db_credentials
  save_args:
    mode: overwrite
    column_order: name
    table_type: ''

You can skip everything but “table_name” if the database and schema are provided via credentials. That way catalog entries can be shorter if, for example, all used Snowflake tables live in same database/schema. Values in the dataset definition take priority over those defined in credentials.

Example: Credentials file provides all connection attributes, catalog entry “weather” reuses credentials parameters, “polygons” catalog entry reuses all credentials parameters except providing a different schema name. Second example of credentials file uses externalbrowser authentication.

catalog.yml

weather:
  type: kedro_datasets.snowflake.SnowparkTableDataSet
  table_name: "weather_data"
  database: "meteorology"
  schema: "observations"
  credentials: snowflake_client
  save_args:
    mode: overwrite
    column_order: name
    table_type: ''

polygons:
  type: kedro_datasets.snowflake.SnowparkTableDataSet
  table_name: "geopolygons"
  credentials: snowflake_client
  schema: "geodata"

credentials.yml

snowflake_client:
  account: 'ab12345.eu-central-1'
  port: 443
  warehouse: "datascience_wh"
  database: "detailed_data"
  schema: "observations"
  user: "service_account_abc"
  password: "supersecret"

credentials.yml (with externalbrowser authenticator)

snowflake_client:
  account: 'ab12345.eu-central-1'
  port: 443
  warehouse: "datascience_wh"
  database: "detailed_data"
  schema: "observations"
  user: "john_doe@wdomain.com"
  authenticator: "externalbrowser"

Attributes

`DEFAULT_LOAD_ARGS`
`DEFAULT_SAVE_ARGS`

Methods

`exists`()	Checks whether a data set's output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.
`from_config`(name, config[, load_version, ...])	Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.
`load`()	Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.
`release`()	Release any cached data.

DEFAULT_LOAD_ARGS: Dict[str, Any] = {}¶

DEFAULT_SAVE_ARGS: Dict[str, Any] = {}¶

__init__(table_name, schema=None, database=None, load_args=None, save_args=None, credentials=None, metadata=None)[source]¶

Creates a new instance of SnowparkTableDataSet.

Parameters

table_name (str) – The table name to load or save data to.
schema (Optional[str]) – Name of the schema where table_name is. Optional as can be provided as part of credentials dictionary. Argument value takes priority over one provided in credentials if any.
database (Optional[str]) – Name of the database where schema is. Optional as can be provided as part of credentials dictionary. Argument value takes priority over one provided in credentials if any.
load_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Currently not used
save_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Provided to underlying snowpark save_as_table To find all supported arguments, see here: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/snowpark/reference/python/api/snowflake.snowpark.DataFrameWriter.saveAsTable.html
credentials (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – A dictionary with a snowpark connection string. To find all supported arguments, see here: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/python-connector-api.html#connect
metadata (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.

exists()¶

Checks whether a data set’s output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.

Return type: bool
Returns: Flag indicating whether the output already exists.
Raises: DatasetError – when underlying exists method raises error.

classmethod from_config(name, config, load_version=None, save_version=None)¶

Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.

Parameters

name – Data set name.
config – Data set config dictionary.
load_version – Version string to be used for load operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.
save_version – Version string to be used for save operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.

Returns

An instance of an AbstractDataset subclass.

Raises

DatasetError – When the function fails to create the data set from its config.

load()¶

Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.

Return type: TypeVar(_DO)
Returns: Data returned by the provided load method.
Raises: DatasetError – When underlying load method raises error.

release()¶

Release any cached data.

Raises: DatasetError – when underlying release method raises error.
Return type: None

save(data)¶

Saves data by delegation to the provided save method.

Parameters

data (TypeVar(_DI)) – the value to be saved by provided save method.

Raises

DatasetError – when underlying save method raises error.
FileNotFoundError – when save method got file instead of dir, on Windows.
NotADirectoryError – when save method got file instead of dir, on Unix.

Return type

None
