Datasets#

Please see Datasets for an introduction to interacting with datasets in Dataiku Python API

The dataiku.Dataset class#

class dataiku.Dataset(name, project_key=None, ignore_flow=False)#

Provides a handle to obtain readers and writers on a dataiku Dataset. From this Dataset class, you can:

Read a dataset as a Pandas dataframe

Read a dataset as a chunked Pandas dataframe

Read a dataset row-by-row

Write a pandas dataframe to a dataset

Write a series of chunked Pandas dataframes to a dataset

Write to a dataset row-by-row

Edit the schema of a dataset

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the dataset.
project_key (str) – The key of the project in which the dataset is located (current project key if none is specified)
ignore_flow (boolean) – this parameter is only relevant for recipes, not for notebooks or code in metrics or scenario steps. when in a recipe, if it’s left to False, then DSS also checks whether the dataset is part of the inputs or outputs of the recipe and raises an error if it’s not, defaults to False

Returns:

a handle to interact with the dataset

Return type:

Dataset

static list(project_key=None)#

List the names of datasets of a given project.

Usage example:

import dataiku

# current project datasets
current_project_datasets = dataiku.Dataset.list()

Parameters:: project_key (str) – the optional key of the project to retrieve the datasets from, defaults to current project
Returns:: a list of a dataset names
Return type:: list[str]

property full_name#

Get the fully-qualified identifier of the dataset on the DSS instance.

Returns:: a fully qualified identifier for the dataset in the form “project_key.dataset_name”
Return type:: str

get_location_info(sensitive_info=False)#

Retrieve the location information of the dataset.

Usage example

# save a dataframe to csv with fixed name to S3
dataset = dataiku.Dataset("my_target_dataset")
location_info = dataset.get_location_info(True)

s3_folder = location_info["info"]["path"] # get URI of the dataset
import re
# extract the bucket from the URI
s3_bucket = re.match("^s3://([^/]+)/.*$", s3_folder).group(1) 
# extract path inside bucket
s3_path_in_bucket = re.match("^s3://[^/]+/(.*)$", s3_folder).group(1) 

# save to S3 using boto
from io import StringIO
import boto3
csv_buffer = StringIO()
df.to_csv(csv_buffer)
s3_resource = boto3.resource('s3')
s3_resource.Object(s3_bucket, s3_path_in_bucket + '/myfile.csv').put(Body=csv_buffer.getvalue())

Parameters:

sensitive_info (boolean) – whether or not to provide sensitive infos such as passwords, conditioned on the user being allowed to read details of the connection on which this dataset is defined

Returns:

a dict with the location info, with as notable fields:

locationInfoType: type of location. Possible values are ‘FS’, ‘HDFS’, ‘UPLOADED’, ‘SQL’
info : a dict whose structure depends on the type of connection
