Python DB-API and SQLAlchemy dialect for Pinot

This module allows accessing Pinot via its SQL API.

Current supported Pinot version: 0.9.3.

Usage

Using the DB API to query Pinot Broker directly:

from pinotdb import connect

# this assumes 9000 is the controller port
conn = connect(host='localhost', port=9000, path='/sql', scheme='http')
curs = conn.cursor()
curs.execute("""
    SELECT place,
           CAST(REGEXP_EXTRACT(place, '(.*),', 1) AS FLOAT) AS lat,
           CAST(REGEXP_EXTRACT(place, ',(.*)', 1) AS FLOAT) AS lon
      FROM places
     LIMIT 10
""")
for row in curs:
    print(row)

For HTTPS:

from pinotdb import connect

# this assumes that 443 is the controller port
conn = connect(host='localhost', port=443, path='/sql', scheme='https')
curs = conn.cursor()
curs.execute("""
    SELECT place,
           CAST(REGEXP_EXTRACT(place, '(.*),', 1) AS FLOAT) AS lat,
           CAST(REGEXP_EXTRACT(place, ',(.*)', 1) AS FLOAT) AS lon
      FROM places
     LIMIT 10
""")
for row in curs:
    print(row)

Pinot also supports basic auth, e.g.

conn = connect(host="localhost", port=443, path="/query/sql", scheme="https", username="my-user", password="my-password", verify_ssl=True)

To pass in additional query parameters (such as useMultistageEngine=true) you may pass them in as part of the execute method. For example:

curs.execute("select * from airlineStats air limit 10", queryOptions="useMultistageEngine=true")

Using SQLAlchemy:

Since db engine requires more information beyond Pinot Broker, you need to provide pinot controller for table and schema information.

The db engine connection string is format as:

pinot+<pinot-broker-protocol>://<pinot-broker-host>:<pinot-broker-port><pinot-broker-path>?controller=<pinot-controller-protocol>://<pinot-controller-host>:<pinot-controller-port>/

Default scheme is HTTP so you can ignore it. e.g. pinot+http://localhost:8099/query/sql?controller=http://localhost:9000/ and pinot://localhost:8099/query/sql?controller=localhost:9000/ work in same way.

For HTTPS, you have to specify the https scheme explicitly along with the port.

pinot+https://<pinot-broker-host>:<pinot-broker-port><pinot-broker-path>?controller=https://<pinot-controller-host>:<pinot-controller-port>/

E.g. pinot+https://pinot-broker.pinot.live:443/query/sql?controller=https://pinot-controller.pinot.live/.

Please note that the broker port 443 has to be explicitly put there.

This can be used as Superset to Pinot connection:

If you have basic auth:

pinot+https://<my-user>:<my-password>@<pinot-broker-host>:<pinot-broker-port><pinot-broker-path>?controller=https://<pinot-controller-host>:<pinot-controller-port>/[&&verify_ssl=<true/false>]

E.g. pinot+https://my-user:my-password@my-secure-pinot-broker:443/query/sql?controller=https://my-secure-pinot-controller/&&verify_ssl=true.

Below are some sample scripts to query pinot using sqlalchemy:

from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.schema import *

engine = create_engine('pinot://localhost:8099/query/sql?controller=http://localhost:9000/')  # uses HTTP by default :(
# engine = create_engine('pinot+http://localhost:8099/query/sql?controller=http://localhost:9000/')
# engine = create_engine('pinot+https://localhost:8099/query/sql?controller=https://localhost:9000/')

places = Table('places', MetaData(bind=engine), autoload=True)
print(select([func.count('*')], from_obj=places).scalar())

Examples with Pinot Quickstart

Start Pinot Batch Quickstart

docker run --name pinot-quickstart -p 2123:2123 -p 9000:9000 -p 8000:8000 -d apachepinot/pinot:latest QuickStart -type batch

Once pinot batch quickstart is up, you can run below sample code snippet to query Pinot:

python3 examples/pinot_quickstart_batch.py

Sample Output:

Development

In order to develop this library, you need to have installed Poetry and tox.

After you make sure you have them installed, test the library:

1. Run the Pinot QuickStart (for integration tests): $ make run-pinot
2. On a separate shell, run: $ make init
3. Then: $ make test

Release

Prepare release credential

First, configure your credentials for the release. You can simply attach your PyPI API token to the Poetry tool:

$ poetry config pypi-token.pypi <your_api_token_generated_from_pypi.org>

You should only need to do this once to set up your poetry config for the release. Alternatively, you can also use username and password:

$ poetry publish --username=<your_username> --password='<your_password>'

Build and release a new Pinot DB-API to PyPI

Bump the project to whichever next version is more suitable according to SemVer. For example, to bump the patch version automatically, simply ran the following command:

$ poetry version patch

Run to build the distribution:

$ poetry build

Then publish it to pinotdb in PyPI:

$ poetry publish

You can also go to Github Action: Pinotdb Pypi Publisher to click and run the workflow to publish to PYPI.
