# Turn raw data into features for machine learning without ETLs

We believe in a
world where everyone is a
data engineer

A data scientist
An ML engineer, ooh!
The lines are blurred (cough)

Like development
and operations became
DevOps over time
```

![Data Transformer](docs/images/data-transformer.png)

Blurr provides a `high-level expressive YAML-based language` called the Data Transform Configuration (DTC).

The Streaming DTC aggregates raw data into blocks.

![Blocks](docs/images/blocks-intro.png)

Window DTC drops an anchor on a block and generates model features relative to that block.

![Window](docs/images/window.png)


Raw data like this

```javascript
{ "user_id": "09C1", "session_id": "915D", "country" : "US", "event_id": "game_start" }
{ "user_id": "09C1", "session_id": "915D", "country" : "US", "event_id": "game_end", "won": 1 }
{ "user_id": "09C1", "session_id": "915D", "country" : "US", "event_id": "game_start" }
{ "user_id": "09C1", "session_id": "915D", "country" : "US", "event_id": "game_end", "won": 1 }
{ "user_id": "B6FA", "session_id": "D043", "country" : "US", "event_id": "game_start" }
{ "user_id": "B6FA", "session_id": "D043", "country" : "US", "event_id": "game_end", "won": 1 }
{ "user_id": "09C1", "session_id": "T8KA", "country" : "UK", "event_id": "game_start" }
{ "user_id": "09C1", "session_id": "T8KA", "country" : "UK", "event_id": "game_end", "won": 1 }
```

turns into

session_id | user_id | games_played | games_won
--- | ------------ | -------------- | --------
915D | 09C1 | 2 | 2
D043 | B6FA | 1 | 1
T8KA | 09C1 | 1 | 1

using this DTC

```yaml

Type: Blurr:Streaming
Version: '2018-03-07'

Store:
- Type: Blurr:Store:MemoryStore
Name: hello_world_store

Identity: source.user_id

DataGroups:

- Type: Blurr:DataGroup:BlockAggregate
Name: session_stats
Store: hello_world_store
Split: source.session_id != session_stats.session_id

Fields:

- Name: session_id
Type: string
Value: source.session_id

- Name: games_played
Type: integer
When: source.event_id == 'game_start'
Value: session_stats.games_played + 1

- Name: games_won
Type: integer
When: source.event_id == 'game_end' and source.won == '1'
Value: session_stats.games_won + 1

```

# Install

We interact with Blurr using a Command Line Interface (CLI). Blurr is installed via pip:

`$ pip install blurr`

Transform data

```
$ blurr transform \
--streaming-dtc ./dtcs/sessionize-dtc.yml \
--window-dtc ./dtcs/windowing-dtc.yml \
--source file://path
```

# Data Science 'Joel Test'

Inspired by the (old school) [Joel Test](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-steps-to-better-code/) to rate software teams, here's our version for data science teams. What's your score? We'd love to know!

1. Data pipelines are versioned and reproducible
2. Pipelines (re)build in one step
3. Deploying to production needs minimal engineering help
4. Successful ML is a long game. You play it like it is
5. Kaizen. Experimentation and iterations are a way of life
