 Here are some key terms commonly used in data pipelines


Pipelines Key Terms Explained


1. Data Sources

  • Definition: Points where data originates (e.g., databases, APIs, files, IoT devices).
  • Examples: Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), APIs, cloud storage (S3), streaming data (Kafka), and on-premise systems.

2. Data Ingestion

  • Definition: The process of importing or collecting raw data from various sources into a system for processing or storage.
  • Methods: Batch ingestion, real-time/streaming ingestion.

3. Data Transformation

  • Definition: Modifying, cleaning, or enriching data to make it usable for analysis or storage.
  • Examples:
    • Data cleaning (removing duplicates, fixing missing values).
    • Data enrichment (joining with other data sources).
    • ETL (Extract, Transform, Load).
    • ELT (Extract, Load, Transform).

4. Data Storage

  • Definition: Locations where data is stored after ingestion and transformation.
  • Types:
    • Data Lakes: Store raw, unstructured, or semi-structured data (e.g., S3, Azure Data Lake).
    • Data Warehouses: Store structured data optimized for querying (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift).
    • Delta Tables: Combines features of data lakes and warehouses for transaction-based updates.

5. Data Orchestration

  • Definition: Automating, scheduling, and monitoring data flow across the pipeline.
  • Tools: Apache Airflow, AWS Step Functions, Prefect, Dagster.

6. Data Integration

  • Definition: Combining data from multiple sources into a unified format or structure.
  • Techniques:
    • Data merging and joining.
    • API integration.

7. Real-Time Processing

  • Definition: Processing data as it arrives in real-time.
  • Tools: Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Spark Streaming.

8. Batch Processing

  • Definition: Processing data in large groups at scheduled intervals.
  • Tools: Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop.

9. Data Quality

  • Definition: Ensuring that the data is accurate, consistent, and reliable.
  • Processes: Data validation, profiling, and deduplication.

10. Metadata

  • Definition: Data about the data, such as schema, data types, and lineage.
  • Tools: Apache Atlas, AWS Glue Data Catalog.

11. Data Lineage

  • Definition: The history of data as it flows through the pipeline, including transformations and movements.

12. Data Governance

  • Definition: Framework for managing data availability, usability, integrity, and security.
  • Examples: Role-based access control (RBAC), and data masking.

13. Monitoring and Logging

  • Definition: Tracking the performance and behavior of the pipeline.
  • Tools: Datadog, Prometheus, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).

14. Data Consumption

  • Definition: The final use of processed data for reporting, analytics, or machine learning.
  • Methods: Dashboards, APIs, machine learning models.

During the import of my python script, I got the import error cannot import name datetime. My Script: datetime.py My script's intention is to find whether the minute value is odd or not. Python Logic from datetime import datetime odds = [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13 , 15 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 45 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 55 , 57 , 59 ] right_this_minute = datetime.today().minute if right_this_minute in odds: print ( "This minute seems a little odd." ) else : print ( "Not an odd minute." ) ImportError I have imported my datetime.py from Linux. It gives an error ...

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...
