Are you tired of futzing with your cloud provider's storage API? Keeping track of file formats, serializing/deserializing, etc.? You just want to upload and download files to a bucket?
Caboodle abstracts away the details of artifact management in Python. It handles file syncing, authentication, and serialization/de-serialization and it does so in a cloud-provider agnostic manner.
pip install the-whole-caboodle
See documentation and the concepts section below for more details.
The intended use case is some sort of cloud-based data science workload which has three steps:
- Download input data (artifacts) that you want to operate on. This may be a single file in bucket storage or an entire folder, and you want to operate on each file in that folder.
- Perform your computations.
- Upload your results (also artifacts) to the remote storage.
This three-step process could be part of a single step in a larger pipeline. Caboodle is meant to simplify steps (1) and (3).
To download all files from a folder in a remote bucket:
from caboodle import gcs
from caboodle.coffer import GCSCoffer
client = gcs.get_storage_client()
my_coffer = GCSCoffer("gs://mybucket/path/in/bucket", storage_client=client)
my_artifacts = my_coffer.download()
python_objects = [m.content for m in my_artifacts]
my_artifacts is a list containing Artifact objects which have a
deserialize method which is used to read the raw data into python objects. The
Coffer will attempt to infer file type and perform the appropriate
serialization.
This is your job. Godspeed.
To upload all files in a folder to a remote bucket:
from caboodle import gcs
from caboodle.coffer import GCSCoffer
client = gcs.get_storage_client()
my_coffer = GCSCoffer("gs://mybucket/path/in/bucket", storage_client=client)
my_coffer.upload(list_of_artifacts)
list_of_artifacts should be a list of Artifacts. See below for more information.
Your data is serialized using the Artifact class, and these are stored in a Coffer
which syncs that data with a remote storage provider. You use these two objects
to upload and download various types of files from whatever cloud storage you use.
An artifact represents a blob of data that could be the input or output of some
workload. An Artifact object contains logic for storing, serializing, and
deserializing its contents. This gives you a single
interface for saving data regardless of its type.
my_data = [1,2,3] # Some picklable python object
my_artifact = PickleArtifact("mydata", my_data)
my_artifact.serialize("my_data.pickle")
In this example, we created some object and save it using Python's
pickle module to the file
"my_data.pickle". Additionally, Artifacts have a key which 'Coffer's
(discussed below) use to automatically make a filename when saving data.
You can analogously read in data from a file using the appropriate Artifact
class:
my_data2 = my_artifact.deserialize("my_data.pickle")
print(my_data2)
>>> [1,2,3]
Currently, the following types of Artifacts have been implemented: pickle, Apache Avro, Fireworks, and binary.
Whereas Artifacts handle serialization logic, a Coffer handles the logic of
uploading Artifacts to a remote storage location:
client = caboodle.gcs.get_storage_client()
my_coffer = GCSCoffer("gs://mybucket/path/in/bucket", storage_client=client)
my_coffer.upload([my_artifact1, my_artifact2])
Analogously, you can download Artifacts:
downloaded_artifacts = my_coffer.download()
python_objects = [m.content for m in downloaded_artifacts]
The Coffer will attempt to infer filetype and construct the appropriate
filetype for each Artifact (defaulting to binary). Thus, 'python_objects' is a
list containing the deserialized artifacts that you initially uploaded.
Currently, only the GCSCoffer has been implemented, but in the future
we will
have analogous ones for AWS, Azure, and any other storage system.
caboodle.gcs contains helper functions for operations like uploading and
downloading folders to Google Cloud Storage. It uses the official
google-cloud-storage
API.
Right now, only support for Google Cloud has been implemented. AWS and Azure will be added in the future.
