Data Engineering Workflow Stages

Data Source Connection

Modern data engineering requires robust connection handling to multiple data sources simultaneously. This implementation demonstrates connecting to various data sources including SQL databases, REST APIs, and file systems while handling authentication and connection pooling.

import pandas as pd
import requests
import sqlalchemy
import fsspec
from typing import Dict, Any

class DataSourceConnector:
    def __init__(self, credentials: Dict[str, Any]):
        self.credentials = credentials
        self.connections = {}
    
    def connect_sql(self, database: str) -> sqlalchemy.engine.Engine:
        conn_string = f"postgresql://{self.credentials['user']}:{self.credentials['password']}@{self.credentials['host']}/{database}"
        engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine(conn_string, pool_size=5)
        return engine
    
    def connect_api(self, endpoint: str) -> requests.Session:
        session = requests.Session()
        session.headers.update({
            'Authorization': f"Bearer {self.credentials['api_key']}",
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        })
        return session

# Example usage
credentials = {
    'user': 'db_user',
    'password': 'db_pass',
    'host': 'localhost',
    'api_key': 'your_api_key'
}

connector = DataSourceConnector(credentials)
db_engine = connector.connect_sql('analytics_db')
api_session = connector.connect_api('https://api.example.com/data')

# Query example
df = pd.read_sql("SELECT * FROM events LIMIT 5", db_engine)

Data Ingestion Pipeline

Data ingestion requires robust error handling, retry mechanisms, and rate limiting when dealing with external APIs or streaming data sources. This implementation showcases a scalable ingestion pipeline with backoff strategies.

import time
from typing import Iterator, Any
from datetime import datetime
import backoff
import requests

class DataIngestionPipeline:
    def __init__(self, batch_size: int = 1000):
        self.batch_size = batch_size
        self.retry_count = 3
        
    @backoff.on_exception(backoff.expo, requests.exceptions.RequestException, max_tries=3)
    def fetch_batch(self, url: str, params: dict) -> dict:
        response = requests.get(url, params=params)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    
    def process_stream(self, source_url: str) -> Iterator[Any]:
        params = {'offset': 0, 'limit': self.batch_size}
        
        while True:
            try:
                batch = self.fetch_batch(source_url, params)
                if not batch['data']:
                    break
                    
                yield from batch['data']
                params['offset'] += self.batch_size
                
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Error processing batch: {str(e)}")
                time.sleep(1)

# Example usage
pipeline = DataIngestionPipeline(batch_size=100)
for record in pipeline.process_stream('https://api.example.com/events'):
    timestamp = datetime.now().isoformat()
    print(f"{timestamp} - Processing record: {record['id']}")

Data Storage Optimization

Efficient data storage requires careful consideration of partitioning strategies, compression algorithms, and storage formats. This implementation demonstrates optimized Parquet file storage with partitioning and compression.

import pyarrow as pa
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
from datetime import datetime
import numpy as np

class OptimizedStorage:
    def __init__(self, base_path: str):
        self.base_path = base_path
        
    def optimize_schema(self, df: pd.DataFrame) -> pa.Schema:
        optimized_fields = []
        for column, dtype in df.dtypes.items():
            if dtype == 'object':
                # Convert string columns to dictionary encoding
                optimized_fields.append(pa.field(column, pa.dictionary(pa.int32(), pa.string())))
            elif dtype == 'float64':
                # Downcast floats where possible
                if df[column].isnull().sum() == 0 and df[column].mod(1).sum() == 0:
                    optimized_fields.append(pa.field(column, pa.int32()))
                else:
                    optimized_fields.append(pa.field(column, pa.float32()))
            else:
                optimized_fields.append(pa.field(column, pa.from_numpy_dtype(dtype)))
        return pa.schema(optimized_fields)

    def write_partitioned(self, df: pd.DataFrame, partition_cols: list):
        table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df, schema=self.optimize_schema(df))
        
        pq.write_table(
            table,
            self.base_path,
            partition_cols=partition_cols,
            compression='snappy',
            row_group_size=100000
        )

# Example usage
storage = OptimizedStorage('/data/events')

# Sample data
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'timestamp': pd.date_range(start='2024-01-01', periods=1000000, freq='1min'),
    'user_id': np.random.randint(1, 1000, 1000000),
    'value': np.random.randn(1000000)
})

# Partition by date components
df['year'] = df['timestamp'].dt.year
df['month'] = df['timestamp'].dt.month

storage.write_partitioned(df, partition_cols=['year', 'month'])

Data Processing with Apache Spark

Apache Spark provides distributed data processing capabilities essential for large-scale data transformation. This implementation shows advanced PySpark operations including custom UDFs and window functions for data processing.

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import *
from pyspark.sql.window import Window
from pyspark.sql.types import *

class SparkProcessor:
    def __init__(self, app_name: str):
        self.spark = SparkSession.builder \
            .appName(app_name) \
            .config("spark.memory.offHeap.enabled", True) \
            .config("spark.memory.offHeap.size", "10g") \
            .getOrCreate()
    
    def process_data(self, input_path: str) -> DataFrame:
        # Read data
        df = self.spark.read.parquet(input_path)
        
        # Define window specification
        window_spec = Window.partitionBy("user_id") \
                           .orderBy("timestamp") \
                           .rowsBetween(-2, 0)
        
        # Custom UDF for complex transformations
        @udf(returnType=FloatType())
        def calculate_metric(values):
            return float(sum(values) / len(values) if values else 0)
        
        # Apply transformations
        processed_df = df.withColumn(
            "moving_avg", 
            avg("value").over(window_spec)
        ).withColumn(
            "custom_metric",
            calculate_metric(collect_list("value").over(window_spec))
        )
        
        return processed_df

# Example usage
processor = SparkProcessor("DataProcessing")
result_df = processor.process_data("/data/events")
result_df.show()

# Save results
result_df.write.mode("overwrite") \
    .partitionBy("year", "month") \
    .parquet("/data/processed_events")

Data Governance and Security Implementation

Implementing robust data governance requires comprehensive tracking of data lineage, access controls, and audit logging. This system demonstrates a complete implementation of data governance patterns including encryption and access management.
