uri: str | list[str],
credentials: AzureCredentials,
format: str | FileFormat = None,
initial_last_modified: str | datetime = None,
)

Bases: SourcePlugin

Categories: source

Class for managing the configuration of Azure-file-based data inputs.

Attributes: format (FileFormat): The format of the file. If not provided, it will be inferred from the file extension of the data. uri (str | list[str]): The URI of the files with format: 'az://path/to/files'. It can be a single URI or a list of URIs. credentials (AzureCredentials): The credentials required to access Azure. initial_last_modified (str | datetime): If provided, only the files modified after this date and time will be considered.

Initializes the AzureSource with the given URI and the credentials required to access Azure, and optionally a format and date and time after which the files were modified.

Parameters

parameter
uristr | list[str]

The URI of the files with format: 'az://path/to/files'. It can be a single URI or a list of URIs.

parameter
credentialsAzureCredentials

The credentials required to access Azure. Must be an AzureCredentials object.

parameter
formatstr | FileFormat, optional

The format of the file. If not provided, it will be inferred from the file extension of the data. Can be either a string with the format or a FileFormat object . Currently supported formats are 'csv', 'parquet', 'avro', 'ndjson', 'jsonl' and 'log'.

parameter
initial_last_modifiedstr | datetime, optional

If provided, only the files modified after this date and time will be considered. The date and time can be provided as a string in ISO 8601 format or as a datetime object. If no timezone is provided, UTC will be assumed.

Properties

property

The credentials required to access Azure.

property
formatFileFormat

The format of the file. If not provided, it will be inferred from the file extension of the data.

property
initial_last_modifiedstr

The date and time after which the files were modified.

property
initial_valuesdict

Return a dictionary with the initial values to be stored after execution of the plugin. They will be accessible in the next execution of the plugin. The dictionary must have the parameter names as keys and the initial values as values, all the type string.

Methods

chunk
def chunk(working_dir: str) -> list[str | None | list[str | None]]

Trigger the import of the data. This must be implemented in any class that inherits from this class unless directly implementing streaming. The method will receive a folder where it must store the data as parquet files, and return a list of the paths of the files created. This files will then be loaded and mapped to the dataset function in positional order, so if you want file.parquet to be the first argument of the dataset function, you must return it first. If you want a parameter to receive multiple files, return a list of the paths. For example, you would give the following return to provide a first argument with a single file and a second argument with two files: return ["file1.parquet", ["file2.parquet", "file3.parquet"]]

Parameters:

parameter
working_dirstr

The folder where the files must be stored

Returns:

Union[str, Tuple[str, ...], List[str]]: The path of the file(s) created, in the order they must be mapped to the dataset function
