checkpoint_path_

Path to which the checkpoint file for which a streaming dataframe should be written.

metadata

Table and columns metadata.

TYPE: TableDataSinkMetadata | VariableType DEFAULT: None

mode

Write mode.

Spark¤

  • OVERWRITE: Overwrite existing data.
  • APPEND: Append contents of this DataFrame to existing data.
  • ERROR: Throw an exception if data already exists.
  • IGNORE: Silently ignore this operation if data already exists.

Spark Streaming¤

  • APPEND: Only the new rows in the streaming DataFrame/Dataset will be written to the sink.
  • COMPLETE: All the rows in the streaming DataFrame/Dataset will be written to the sink every time there are some updates.
  • UPDATE: Only the rows that were updated in the streaming DataFrame/Dataset will be written to the sink every time there are some updates.

Polars Delta¤

  • OVERWRITE: Overwrite existing data.
  • APPEND: Append contents of this DataFrame to existing data.
  • ERROR: Throw an exception if data already exists.
  • IGNORE: Silently ignore this operation if data already exists.

Laktory¤

  • MERGE: Append, update and optionally delete records. Only supported for DELTA format. Requires cdc specification.

TYPE: Literal['UPDATE', 'ERRORIFEXISTS', 'OVERWRITE', 'COMPLETE', 'APPEND', 'MERGE', 'ERROR', 'IGNORE'] | None | VariableType DEFAULT: None

schema_definition

Explicit table schema used when creating the table. If not set, schema is inferred from the transformer output DataFrame.

TYPE: DataFrameSchema | VariableType DEFAULT: None

schema_name

Sink table schema name

TYPE: str | None | VariableType DEFAULT: None

table_name

Sink table name. Also supports fully qualified name ({catalog}.{schema}.{table}). In this case, catalog_name and schema_name arguments are ignored.

TYPE: str | VariableType

table_type

Type of table. 'TABLE' and 'VIEW' are currently supported.

TYPE: Literal['TABLE', 'VIEW'] | VariableType DEFAULT: 'TABLE'

type

Name of the data sink type

TYPE: Literal['FILE', 'HIVE_METASTORE', 'UNITY_CATALOG'] | VariableType

writer_kwargs

Keyword arguments passed directly to dataframe backend writer. Passed to .options() method when using PySpark.

TYPE: dict[str | VariableType, Any | VariableType] | VariableType DEFAULT: {}

writer_methods

DataFrame backend writer methods.

TYPE: list[ReaderWriterMethod | VariableType] | VariableType DEFAULT: []
