Methods

chunk
def chunk(working_dir: str, *results)

Trigger the exporting of the data to local parquet chunks. This method will receive the resulting data from the user function and must store it in the local system as parquet files, using the working_dir. Note: This method should not materialize the data, it should only store it in the local system.

Parameters:

parameter
working_dirstr

The folder where any files generated must be stored (this refers to temporary files that will be deleted after the execution of the plugin, not the final destination of the data)

parameter
results

The data to be exported. It is a list of polars LazyFrames or None.

Returns:

A list of the intermediate files created

stream
def stream(working_dir: str, *results)

Trigger the exporting of the data. This method will receive the resulting data from the user function and must store it in the desired location. Note: this method might materialize the data provided in a single chunk generated by the chunk function if invoked, so chunks should be of an appropriate size.

Parameters:

parameter
working_dirstr

The folder where any intermediate files generated must be stored (this refers to temporary files that will be deleted after the execution of the plugin, not the final destination of the data)

parameter
results

The data to be exported. It is a list of polars LazyFrames or None.

Returns:

None
