How to Implement Slowly Changing Dimension Type 2 History in Python

Build a type-2 slowly changing dimension pipeline that closes old records and opens new ones when customer data changes.

scd dimension history
Python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def apply_scd_type2(records, current_date):
    """Returns active records after inserting new records with type-2 history."""
    history = []
    active = {}

Map Partition Over Chunks in Python with Multiprocessing and Mock

Process data in chunks across multiple CPU cores using multiprocessing Pool.map, and mock the chunk function to test partitioning behavior without heavy computation.

multiprocessing chunking parallel
Python
from multiprocessing import Pool
from unittest.mock import patch, Mock

def process_chunk(chunk):
    return [x * x for x in chunk]

def map_partition_over_chunks(data, chunk_size, process_func=process_chunk):
    chunks = [data[i:i + chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(data), chunk_size)]
