I am exploring a kedro catalog meta data hook, these are some notes about what I am thinking.
Process
- metadata will be attached to the dataset object under a
.metadataattribute - metadata will be updated
after_node_run - metadata will be empty until a pipeline is ran with the hook on
- optionally a function to add metadata will be added
- metadata will be stored in a file next to the
filepath - meta
Problems This Hook Should solve
- what datasets have a columns with
salesin the name - what datasets were updated after last tuesday
- which pipeline node created this dataset
- how many rows are in this dataset (without reloading all datasets)
implementation details
- metadata will be attached to each dataset as a dictionary
- list/dict comprehensions can be used to make queries
Metadata to Capture
try pandas method -> try spark -> try dict/list -> none
- column names
- length
- Null count
- created_by node name
Database?
Is there an easy way to create a nosql database in memory from a a list of dictionaries?
