Changelog

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

NOTE: This changelog is no longer actively maintained. It is kept here for historical purposes.

Please refer to DP+ Releases which will now be the official changelog.

[0.1.0] - 2022-09-09

Added

  • available smarter data type mapping to Postgres data types. By looking at the min/max values of a column, we can infer the best postgres data type - integer, bigint or numeric, instead of using the numeric Postgres type for all integers. This is done by changing TYPE_MAPPING of Integer from numeric to smartint.
  • Add resource preview metadata fields:
    • preview - if the resource is a preview, and not the entire file, containing only the first PREVIEW_ROWS of the file (boolean)
    • preview_rows - the number of rows of the preview
    • total_record_count - the actual number of rows of the file

Changed

  • change mapping of inferred Date fields to the Postgres date data type, instead of using Postgres timestamp data type for both Date (YYYY-MM-DD) and Datetime (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS TZ) columns.
  • warn when duplicates are found, instead of info
  • decreased default preview to 1,000 rows
  • better error handling when calling qsv binary
  • update instructions to use the latest qsv binary - qsv 0.67.0

Fixed

  • trimmed header and column values when processing spreadsheets. As spreadsheets are more often than not, manually curated, there are often invisible whitespaces that "look" right that may cause invalid CSVs - e.g. column names with leading/trailing whitespaces that cause Postgres errors when columns are created using the Excel column name.

[0.0.23] - 2022-05-09

Changed

  • use psycopg2-binary instead of psycopg2 to ease installation and eliminate need to have postgres dev files
  • made logging messages auto-dedup aware if dupes are detected, by adding "unique" qualifier to record count
  • pointed to the latest qsv version (0.46.1) with the excel off by 1 fix
  • added note about nightly builds of qsv for maximum performance
  • added note about additional DP+ supported Excel and TSV subformats
  • use JOB_CONFIG consistently for setting DP+ settings
  • made qsvdp the default QSV_BIN
  • added note about how to install python 3.7 and above in DP+ virtual environment

Removed

  • removed Hitchiker's guide quote from setup.py epilog
  • removed six as DP+ requires at least python 3.7
  • removed pytest step in Development installation until the tests are adapted to DP+

Fixed

  • fixed development installation procedure, so no assumptions are made
  • fixed production deployment procedure and made it more detailed
  • fixed off by 1 error in excel export message in qsv

[0.0.21] - 2022-05-04

Added

  • additional analysis & preparation steps enabled by qsv
    • blazing fast, guaranteed data type inferences with comprehensive descriptive statistics
    • configurable Excel/ODS exports (supports XLS, XLSX, ODS, XLSM, and XLSB formats)
    • automatic deduplication (dathere#25)
    • RFC 4180 validation and UTF-8 transcoding of CSV files
    • smart date inferencing (dathere#28)
    • automatic preview subset creation
    • DP+ optimized qsv binary (qsvdp) - which is 6x smaller than regular qsv, 3x smaller than qsvlite, and with the self-update engine removed.
  • added an init_db command for initializing jobs_store db by @categulario (dathere#3)
  • automatic resource alias (aka Postgres view) creation (dathere#26)
  • added JOB_CONFIG environment variable by @categulario (dathere#6)
  • added package install by @categulario (dathere#16)
  • Postgres COPY to datastore
  • additional data types inferred and changed postgres type mapping (String -> text; Float -> numeric; Integer -> numeric; Date -> timestamp; DateTime -> timestamp; NULL -> text)
  • added requirement to create a Postgres application role/user with SUPERUSER privs to do native Postgres operations through psycopg2
  • added more verbose logging with elapsed time per phase (Analysis & Preparation Phase, Copy Phase, Total elapsed time)
  • added Containerfile reference by @categulario (dathere#22)
  • added datasize dependency for human-readable file sizes in messages
  • added a Changelog using the Keep a Changelog template.
  • published datapusher-plus on pypi
  • added a GitHub action to publish a pypi package on release
  • added a Roadmap Tracking EPIC, that will always be updated as DP+ evolves https://github.com/dathere/datapusher-plus/issue/5

Changed

  • DP+ requires at least Python 3.7, as it needs CAPTURE_OUTPUT option in subprocess.run. It should still continue to work with CKAN<=2.8 as it runs in its own virtualenv.
  • replaced messytables with qsv
  • removed old "chunked" datastore inserts
  • removed requirements.txt, requirements/dependencies are now in setup.py
  • expanded documentation - rationale for DP+; addl config vars; modified installation procedure; scnshots; etc.
  • improvements to install instructions by @categulario (dathere#20)
  • made DP+ a detached Datapusher fork to maintain own issue tracker, discussions, releases, etc.
