Dask-Snowflake

Tests Linting

This connector is in an early experimental/testing phase.

Reach out to us if you are interested in trying it out!

Installation

dask-snowflake can be installed with pip:

pip install dask-snowflake

or with conda:

conda install -c conda-forge dask-snowflake

Usage

dask-snowflake provides read_snowflake and to_snowflake methods for parallel IO from Snowflake with Dask.

>>> from dask_snowflake import read_snowflake
>>> example_query = '''
...    SELECT *
...    FROM SNOWFLAKE_SAMPLE_DATA.TPCH_SF1.CUSTOMER;
... '''
>>> ddf = read_snowflake(
...     query=example_query,
...     connection_kwargs={
...         "user": "...",
...         "password": "...",
...         "account": "...",
...     },
... )
>>> from dask_snowflake import to_snowflake
>>> to_snowflake(
...     ddf,
...     name="my_table",
...     connection_kwargs={
...         "user": "...",
...         "password": "...",
...         "account": "...",
...     },
... )

See their docstrings for further API information.

Tests

Running tests requires a Snowflake account and access to a database. The test suite will automatically look for specific SNOWFLAKE_* environment variables (listed below) that must be set.

It's recommended (though not required) to store these environment variables in a local .env file in the root of the dask-snowflake repository. This file will be automatically ignored by git, reducing the risk of accidentally commiting it.

Here's what an example .env file looks like:

SNOWFLAKE_USER="<test user name>"
SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD="<test_user_password>"
SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT="<account>.<region>.aws"
SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE="<test warehouse>"
SNOWFLAKE_ROLE="<test role>"
SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE="<test database>"
SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA="<test schema>"

You may then source .env or install pytest-dotenv to automatically set these environment variables.

Note: If you run the tests and get an MemoryError mentioning "write+execute memory for ffi.callback()", you probably have stale build of cffi from conda-forge. Remove it and install the version using pip:

conda remove cffi --force
pip install cffi
