How to Register a Dataset Schema as JSON in Python
Define a catalog of dataset schemas and serialize them to JSON with the standard library json module.
import json
catalog = {
"name": "sample_catalog",
"version": "1.0",
"datasets": [
{
"id": "users",
"type": "table",
"fields": [
{"name": "id", "type": "integer", "key": True},
{"name": "email", "type": "string", "nullable": False}…Union Multiple DataFrames with Aligned Columns in Python
Concatenate DataFrames with different columns, aligning them and filling missing values with NaN using pandas concat.
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
# Sample dataframes with different columns
df1 = pd.DataFrame({
'id': [1, 2, 3],
'name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
'age': [25, 30, 35]
})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({
'id': [4, 5],
'name': ['Diana', 'Eve'],
'city': ['NYC', 'LA']
})
df3 = pd.DataFrame({
…Backward Compatible Schema Evolution in Python
A mock schema validator that evolves JSON schemas while preserving backward compatibility by keeping old fields and validating required ones.
import json
from copy import deepcopy
class SchemaValidator:
def __init__(self, schema):
self.schema = schema
def evolve(self, new_schema):
"""Evolve mock schema while keeping backward compatibility."""
for field in self.schema:
if field not in new_schema:
