atoti.session module

class atoti.session.Session(name, *, config, **kwargs)

Holds a connection to the Java gateway.

close()

Close this session and free all the associated resources.

Return type

None

property closed

Return whether the session is closed or not.

Return type

bool

create_cube(base_store, name=None, *, mode='auto')

Create a cube based on the passed store.

Parameters
  • base_store (Store) – The base store of the cube.

  • name (Optional[str]) – The name of the created cube. Defaults to the name of the base store.

  • mode (Literal[‘auto’, ‘manual’, ‘no_measures’]) –

    The cube creation mode:

    • auto: Creates hierarchies for every non-numeric column, and measures for every numeric column.

    • manual: Does not create any hierarchy or measure (except from the count).

    • no_measures: Creates the hierarchies like auto but does not create any measures.

    For stores with hierarchized_columns specified, these will be converted into hierarchies regardless of the cube creation mode.

See also

Hierarchies and measures created by a join().

Return type

Cube

create_scenario(name, *, origin='Base')

Create a new source scenario in the datastore.

Parameters
  • name (str) – The name of the scenario.

  • origin (str) – The scenario to fork.

create_store(types, store_name, *, keys=None, partitioning=None, sampling_mode=None, hierarchized_columns=None)

Create a store from a schema.

Parameters
  • types (Mapping[str, DataType]) – Types for all columns of the store. This defines the columns which will be expected in any future data loaded into the store.

  • store_name (str) – The name of the store to create.

  • keys (Optional[Collection[str]]) – The columns that will become keys of the store.

  • partitioning (Optional[str]) –

    The description of how the data will be split across partitions of the store.

    Only key columns can be used in the partitioning description. Joined stores can only use a sub-partitioning of the store referencing them.

    Example

    hash4(country) splits the data across 4 partitions based on the country column’s hash value.

  • sampling_mode (Optional[SamplingMode]) – The sampling mode. Defaults to this session’s one.

  • hierarchized_columns (Optional[Collection[str]]) –

    The list of columns which will automatically be converted into hierarchies no matter which creation mode is used for the cube.

    The different behaviors based on the passed value are:

    • None: all non-numeric columns are converted into hierarchies, depending on the cube’s creation mode.

    • Empty collection: no columns are converted into hierarchies.

    • Non-empty collection: only the columns in the collection will be converted into hierarchies.

    For partial joins, the un-mapped key columns of the target store are always converted into hierarchies, regardless of the value of this parameter.

Return type

Store

property cubes

Cubes of the session.

Return type

Cubes

delete_scenario(scenario)

Delete the source scenario with the provided name if it exists.

Return type

None

endpoint(route, *, method='GET')

Create a custom endpoint at f"{session.url}/atoti/pyapi/{route}".

This is useful to reuse atoti’s built-in server instead of adding a FastAPI or Flask server to the project. This way, when deploying the project in a container or a VM, only one port (the one of the atoti server) can be exposed instead of two. Since custom endpoints are exposed by atoti’s server, they automatically inherit from the https and authentication setup that have been defined in create_config().

The decorated function must take three parameters with types User, HttpRequest, and Session and return a response body as a Python data structure that can be converted to JSON.

Parameters
  • route (str) –

    The path suffix after /atoti/pyapi/. For instance, if custom/search is passed, a request to /atoti/pyapi/custom/search?query=test#results will match. The route should not contain the query (?) or fragment (#).

    Path parameters can be configured by wrapping their name in curly braces in the route.

  • method (Literal[‘POST’, ‘GET’, ‘PUT’, ‘DELETE’]) – The HTTP method the request must be using to trigger this endpoint. DELETE, POST, and PUT requests can have a body but it must be JSON.

Examples:

@session.endpoint("simple_get")
def callback(request: HttpRequest, user: User, session: Session):
    return "something that will be in response.data"

@session.endpoint(f"simple_post/{store_name}", method="POST")
def callback(request: HttpRequest, user: User, session: Session):
    return request.path_parameters.store_name
Return type

Any

property excel_url

URL of the Excel endpoint.

To connect to the session in Excel, create a new connection to an Analysis Services. Use this URL for the server field and choose to connect with “User Name and Password”:

  • Without authentication, leave these fields blank.

  • With Basic authentication, fill them with your username and password.

  • Other authentication types (such as Auth0) are not supported by Excel.

Return type

str

explain_mdx_query(mdx, *, timeout=30)

Run the query but return an explanation of how the query was executed instead of its result.

See also

query_mdx() for the roles of the parameters.

Return type

QueryAnalysis

Returns

An explanation containing a summary, global timings, and the query plan with all the retrievals.

export_translations_template(path)

Export a template containing all translatable values in the session’s cubes.

Parameters

path (Union[str, Path]) – The path at which to write the template.

load_all_data()

Trigger the full loading of the data.

Calling this method will change the sampling mode to atoti.sampling.FULL which triggers the loading of all the data. All subsequent loads, including new stores, will not be sampled.

When building a project, this method should be called as late as possible.

property logs_path

Path to the session logs file.

Return type

Path

logs_tail(n=20)

Return the n last lines of the logs or all the lines if n <= 0.

Return type

Logs

property name

Name of the session.

Return type

str

property port

Port on which the session is exposed.

Can be set in SessionConfiguration.

Return type

int

query_mdx(mdx, *, keep_totals=False, timeout=30)

Execute an MDX query and return its result as a pandas DataFrame.

Parameters
  • mdx (str) – The MDX SELECT query to execute. Regardless of the axes on which levels and measures appear in the MDX, the returned DataFrame will have all levels on rows and measures on columns.

  • keep_totals (bool) – Whether the resulting DataFrame should contain, if they are present in the query result, the grand total and subtotals. Totals can be useful but they make the DataFrame harder to work with since its index will have some empty values.

  • timeout (int) – The query timeout in seconds.

Example

>>> from datetime import date
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(
...     columns=["Country", "Date", "Price"],
...     data=[
...         ("China", date(2020, 3, 3), 410.0),
...         ("China", date(2020, 4, 4), 350.0),
...         ("France", date(2020, 1, 1), 480.0),
...         ("France", date(2020, 2, 2), 500.0),
...         ("France", date(2020, 3, 3), 400.0),
...         ("France", date(2020, 4, 4), 420.0),
...         ("India", date(2020, 1, 1), 360.0),
...         ("India", date(2020, 2, 2), 400.0),
...         ("UK", date(2020, 2, 2), 960.0),
...     ],
... )
>>> store = session.read_pandas(
...     df, keys=["Country", "Date"], store_name="Prices"
... )
>>> _ = session.create_cube(store)

This MDX:

>>> mdx = (
...     "SELECT"
...     "  NON EMPTY Hierarchize("
...     "    DrilldownLevel("
...     "      [Prices].[Country].[ALL].[AllMember]"
...     "    )"
...     "  ) ON ROWS,"
...     "  NON EMPTY Crossjoin("
...     "    [Measures].[Price.SUM],"
...     "    Hierarchize("
...     "      DrilldownLevel("
...     "        [Prices].[Date].[ALL].[AllMember]"
...     "      )"
...     "    )"
...     "  ) ON COLUMNS"
...     "  FROM [Prices]"
... )

QueryResult

read_csv(path, *, keys=None, store_name=None, in_all_scenarios=True, sep=None, encoding='utf-8', process_quotes=None, partitioning=None, types=None, watch=False, array_sep=None, sampling_mode=None, hierarchized_columns=None)

Read a CSV file into a store.

Parameters
  • path (Union[str, Path]) –

    The path to the CSV file or directory to load.

    If a path pointing to a directory is provided, all of the files with the .csv extension in the directory and subdirectories will be loaded into the same store and, as such, they are all expected to share the same schema.

    .gz, .tar.gz and .zip files containing compressed CSV(s) are also supported.

    The path can contain glob parameters (e.g. path/to/directory/**.*.csv) and will be expanded correctly. Be careful, when using glob expressions in paths, all files which match the expression will be loaded, regardless of their extension. When the provided path is a directory, the default glob parameter of **.csv is used.

  • keys (Optional[Collection[str]]) – The columns that will become keys of the store.

  • store_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the store to create. Defaults to the final component of the given path argument.

  • in_all_scenarios (bool) – Whether to load the data in all existing scenarios.

  • sep (Optional[str]) – The delimiter to use. If None, the separator will automatically be detected.

  • encoding (str) – The encoding to use to read the CSV.

  • process_quotes (Optional[bool]) –

    Whether double quotes should be processed to follow the official CSV specification:

    • True:

      • Each field may or may not be enclosed in double quotes (however some programs, such as Microsoft Excel, do not use double quotes at all). If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then double quotes may not appear inside the fields.

      • A double quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote.

      • Fields containing line breaks, double quotes, and commas should be enclosed in double-quotes.

    • False: all double-quotes within a field will be treated as any regular character, following Excel’s behavior. In this mode, it is expected that fields are not enclosed in double quotes. It is also not possible to have a line break inside a field.

    • None: The behavior will be inferred from the first lines of the CSV file.

  • partitioning (Optional[str]) –

    The description of how the data will be split across partitions of the store.

    Only key columns can be used in the partitioning description. Joined stores can only use a sub-partitioning of the store referencing them.

    Example

    hash4(country) splits the data across 4 partitions based on the country column’s hash value.

  • types (Optional[Mapping[str, DataType]]) – Types for some or all columns of the store. Types for non specified columns will be inferred from the first 1,000 lines.

  • watch (bool) – Whether the source file or directory at the given path should be watched for changes. When set to True, changes to the source will automatically be reflected in the store. If the source is a directory, new files will be loaded into the same store as the initial data and must therefore have the same schema as the initial data as well. Any non-CSV files added to the directory will be ignored.

  • array_sep (Optional[str]) – The delimiter to use for arrays. Setting it to a non-None value will parse all the columns containing this separator as arrays.

  • sampling_mode (Optional[SamplingMode]) – The sampling mode. Defaults to this session’s one.

  • hierarchized_columns (Optional[Collection[str]]) –

    The list of columns which will automatically be converted into hierarchies no matter which creation mode is used for the cube.

    The different behaviors based on the passed value are:

    • None: all non-numeric columns are converted into hierarchies, depending on the cube’s creation mode.

    • Empty collection: no columns are converted into hierarchies.

    • Non-empty collection: only the columns in the collection will be converted into hierarchies.

    For partial joins, the un-mapped key columns of the target store are always converted into hierarchies, regardless of the value of this parameter.

Return type

Store

Returns

The created store holding the content of the CSV file(s).

read_numpy(array, columns, store_name, *, keys=None, in_all_scenarios=True, partitioning=None, hierarchized_columns=None, **kwargs)

start_transaction()

Start a transaction to batch several store operations.

  • It is more efficient than doing each store operation one after the other.

  • It avoids possibly incorrect intermediate states (e.g. if loading some new data requires dropping existing rows first).

Note

Some operations are not allowed during a transaction:

  • Long-running operations such as load_kafka() or load_csv() where watch=True is used.

  • Operations changing the structure of the session’s stores such as join() or read_parquet().

  • Operations not related to data loading or dropping such as defining a new measure.

Example

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(
...     columns=["City", "Price"],
...     data=[
...         ("Berlin", 150.0),
...         ("London", 240.0),
...         ("New York", 270.0),
...         ("Paris", 200.0),
...     ],
... )
>>> store = session.read_pandas(
...     df, keys=["City"], store_name="start_transaction example"
... )
>>> cube = session.create_cube(store)
>>> extra_df = pd.DataFrame(
...     columns=["City", "Price"],
...     data=[
...         ("Singapore", 250.0),
...     ],
... )
>>> with session.start_transaction():
...     store += ("New York", 100.0)
...     store.drop({"City": "Paris"})
...     store.load_pandas(extra_df)
...
>>> store.head().sort_index()
           Price
