How to Mock a Parquet partitionBy Sink in Python
Manually write a DataFrame to partitioned Parquet files, mimicking Spark's partitionBy sink behavior without Spark.
import pyarrow as pa
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
from pathlib import Path
import tempfile
import shutil
def mock_partition_by_sink(data, output_dir, partition_cols):
table = pa.Table.from_pandas(data)
schema = table.schema
unique_combos = table.select(partition_cols).to_pylist()
seen = set()

Demonstrates using Spark Structured Streaming's foreachBatch sink to capture and verify streaming batches by writing them into a custom mock sink object.
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import col, lit
class MockSink:
def __init__(self):
self.batches = []
def write_batch(self, batch_df, batch_id):
# Collect batch data as list of dicts for verification
records = batch_df.collect()
