Provides a django wrapper for postgresql-hll library by CitusData

Project description

django-pg-hll

Provides a django wrapper for postgresql-hll library by CitusData

Requirements

  • Python 2.7 or Python 3.4+
  • django >= 1.9
  • pytz
  • six
  • typing
  • psycopg2
  • PostgreSQL 9.4+

Installation

Install via pip:
pip install django-pg-hll
or via setup.py:
python setup.py install

Usage

Prerequisites

Install postgresql-hll extension

Creating table with hll field

  • Add HllField to your model:
    from django.db import models
    from django_pg_hll import HllField
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        hll = HllField()
    
  • Call makemigrations to create a migration
  • Call migrate to apply migration.

Hll values

In order to create and update Hll this library introduces a set of functions (corresponding to postgres-hll hash functions), to hash values:

from django_pg_hll import HllField

# Empty hll
HllEmpty()

# Hash from boolean
HllBoolean(True)

# Hash from integer with different ranges
HllSmallInt(1)
HllInteger(65540)
HllBigint(2147483650)

# Hash from bytes sequence
HllByteA(b'test')

# Hash from text
HllText('test')

# Auto detection of type by postgres-hll
HllAny('some data')

To save a value to HllField, you can pass any of these functions as a value:

from django_pg_hll import HllInteger

instance = MyModel.objects.create(hll=HllInteger(123))
instance.hll |= HllInteger(456)
instance.save()

Chaining hll values

Hll values can be chained with each other and functions like django.db.models.F using | operator.
The chaining result will be django_pg_hll.values.HllSet instance, which can be also saved to database.
You can also chain simple values and iterables. In this case, library will try to detect appropriate hashing function, based on value.
Important: Native django functions can't be used as chain start, as | operator is redeclared for HllValue instances.
Example:

from django_pg_hll import HllInteger
from django.db.models import F

instance = MyModel.objects.create(hll=HllInteger(123))

# This works
instance.hll |= HllInteger(456)
instance.hll = HllInteger(456) | F('hll')
instance.hll |= 789  # HllSmallInt will be used
instance.hll |= 100500  # HllInteger will be used
instance.hll |= True  # HllBoolean will be used
instance.hll |= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}  # set. HllSmallInt will be used.

# This throws exception, as F function doesn't support bitor operator
instance.hll = F('hll') | HllInteger(456)

Hashing seed

You can pass hash_seed optional argument to any HllValue, expecting data.
Look here for more details about hashing.

Filtering QuerySet

HllField realizes cardinality lookup (returning integer value) in order to make filtering easier:

MyModel.objects.filter(hll__cardinality=3).count()

Aggregate functions

In order to count aggregations and annotations, library provides 4 aggregate functions:

  • django_pg_hll.aggregate.Cardinality Counts cardinality of hll field
  • django_pg_hll.aggregate.UnionAgg Aggregates multiple hll fields to one hll.
  • django_pg_hll.aggregate.UnionAggCardinality Counts cardinality of hll, combined by UnionAgg function. In fact, it does Cardinality(UnionAgg(hll)).
    P. s. django doesn't give ability to use function inside function.
  • django_pg_hll.aggregate.CardinalitySum Counts sum of multiple rows hll cardinalities. In fact, it does Sum(Cardinality(hll)).
    P. s. django doesn't give ability to use function inside function.
from django.db import models
from django_pg_hll import HllField, HllInteger
from django_pg_hll.aggregate import Cardinality, UnionAggCardinality, CardinalitySum


class ForeignModel(models.Model):
    pass


class MyModel(models.Model):
    hll = HllField()
    fk = models.ForeignKey(ForeignModel)

MyModel.objects.bulk_create([
   MyModel(fk=1, hll=HllInteger(1)),
   MyModel(fk=2, hll=HllInteger(2) | HllInteger(3) | HllInteger(4)),
   MyModel(fk=3, hll=HllInteger(4))
])

MyModel.objects.annotate(card=Cardinality('hll_field')).values_list('id', 'card')
# outputs (1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 1)

# Count cardinality for hll, build by union of all rows
# 4 element exists in rows with fk=2 and fk=3. After union it gives single result 
ForeignModel.objects.annotate(card=UnionAggCardinality('testmodel__hll_field')).values_list('card', flat=True)
# outputs [4]

# Count sum of cardinalities for each row
ForeignModel.objects.annotate(card=CardinalitySum('testmodel__hll_field')).values_list('card', flat=True)
# outputs [5]

django-pg-bulk-update integration

This library provides a hll_concat set function, allowing to use hll in bulk_update and bulk_update_or_create queries.

# !!! Don't forget to import function, or django_pg_bulk_update will not find it
from django_pg_hll.bulk_update import HllConcatFunction

MyModel.objects.bulk_update_or_create([
    {'id': 100501, 'hll_field': HllInteger(1)},
    {'id': 100502, 'hll_field': HllInteger(2) | HllInteger(3)}
    ], set_functions={'hll_field': 'hll_concat'}
)
