Qubole Data Service Python SDK

Build Status

A Python module that provides the tools you need to authenticate with, and use the Qubole Data Service API.

Installation

From PyPI

The SDK is available on PyPI.

$ pip install qds-sdk

From source

  • Download the source code:

  • Run the following command (may need to do this as root):

    $ python setup.py install
    
  • Alternatively, if you use virtualenv, you can do this:

    $ cd qds-sdk-py
    $ virtualenv venv
    $ source venv/bin/activate
    $ python setup.py install
    

This should place a command line utility qds.py somewhere in your path

$ which qds.py
/usr/bin/qds.py

CLI

qds.py allows running Hive, Hadoop, Pig, Presto and Shell commands against QDS. Users can run commands synchronously - or submit a command and check its status.

$ qds.py -h  # will print detailed usage

Examples:

  1. run a hive query and print the results

    $ qds.py --token 'xxyyzz' hivecmd run --query "show tables"
    $ qds.py --token 'xxyyzz' hivecmd run --script_location /tmp/myquery
    $ qds.py --token 'xxyyzz' hivecmd run --script_location s3://my-qubole-location/myquery
    
  2. pass in api token from bash environment variable

    $ export QDS_API_TOKEN=xxyyzz
    
  3. run the example hadoop command

    $ qds.py hadoopcmd run streaming -files 's3n://paid-qubole/HadoopAPIExamples/WordCountPython/mapper.py,s3n://paid-qubole/HadoopAPIExamples/WordCountPython/reducer.py' -mapper mapper.py -reducer reducer.py -numReduceTasks 1 -input 's3n://paid-qubole/default-datasets/gutenberg' -output 's3n://example.bucket.com/wcout'
    
  4. check the status of command # 12345678

    $ qds.py hivecmd check 12345678
    {"status": "done", ... }
    

SDK API

An example Python application needs to do the following:

  1. Set the api_token:

    from qds_sdk.qubole import Qubole
    
    Qubole.configure(api_token='ksbdvcwdkjn123423')
    
  2. Use the Command classes defined in commands.py to execute commands. To run Hive Command:

    from qds_sdk.commands import *
    
    hc=HiveCommand.create(query='show tables')
    print "Id: %s, Status: %s" % (str(hc.id), hc.status)
