HDFDataset

HDFDataset loads and saves data to/from HDF files using pandas.

kedro_datasets.pandas.HDFDataset

HDFDataset(
    *,
    filepath,
    key,
    load_args=None,
    save_args=None,
    version=None,
    credentials=None,
    fs_args=None,
    metadata=None
)

Bases: AbstractVersionedDataset[DataFrame, DataFrame]

HDFDataset loads/saves data from/to a hdf file using an underlying filesystem (e.g. local, S3, GCS). It uses pandas.HDFStore to handle the hdf file.

Examples:

Using the YAML API:

hdf_dataset:
  type: pandas.HDFDataset
  filepath: s3://my_bucket/raw/sensor_reading.h5
  credentials: aws_s3_creds
  key: data

Using the Python API:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from kedro_datasets.pandas import HDFDataset
>>>
>>> data = pd.DataFrame({"col1": [1, 2], "col2": [4, 5], "col3": [5, 6]})
>>>
>>> dataset = HDFDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test.h5", key="data")
>>> dataset.save(data)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert data.equals(reloaded)

Parameters:

  • filepath (str | PathLike) –

    Filepath in POSIX format to a hdf file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided, file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn't support versioning. Can be a string or a PathLike object.

  • key (str) –

    Identifier to the group in the HDF store.

  • load_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    PyTables options for loading hdf files. You can find all available arguments at: https://www.pytables.org/usersguide/libref/top_level.html#tables.open_file All defaults are preserved.

  • save_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    PyTables options for saving hdf files. You can find all available arguments at: https://www.pytables.org/usersguide/libref/top_level.html#tables.open_file All defaults are preserved.

  • version (Version | None, default: None ) –

    If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

  • credentials (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {"token": None}.

  • fs_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {"project": "my-project"} for GCSFileSystem), as well as to pass to the filesystem's open method through nested keys open_args_load and open_args_save. Here you can find all available arguments for open: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#fsspec.spec.AbstractFileSystem.open All defaults are preserved, except open_args_save mode, which is set wb when saving.

  • metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.
