Data Prep

cm-available cdap-transform Build Status Coverity Scan Build Status Maven Central Javadoc License Join CDAP community

A collection of libraries, a pipeline plugin, and a CDAP service for performing data cleansing, transformation, and filtering using a set of data manipulation instructions (directives). These instructions are either generated using an interative visual tool or are manually created.

New Features

More here on upcoming features.

  • User Defined Directives, also known as UDD, allow you to create custom functions to transform records within CDAP DataPrep or a.k.a Wrangler. CDAP comes with a comprehensive library of functions. There are however some omissions, and some specific cases for which UDDs are the solution. Additional information on how you can build your custom directives here.

    • Migrating directives from version 1.0 to version 2.0 here
    • Information about Grammar here
    • Various TokenType supported by system here
    • Custom Directive Implementation Internals here
  • A new capability that allows CDAP Administrators to restrict the directives that are accessible to their users. More information on configuring can be found here

Demo Videos and Recipes

Videos and Screencasts are best way to learn, so we have compiled simple, short screencasts that shows some of the features of Data Prep. Additional videos can be found here

Transformations
Changing Case Changes the case of column values
Cut Character Selects parts of a string value
Set Column Sets the column value to the result of an expression execution
Find and Replace Transforms string column values using a "sed"-like expression

Trim Functions for trimming white spaces around string data
Encoders and Decoders
Decode Decodes a column value as one of base32, base64, or hex
Encode Encodes a column value as one of base32, base64, or hex
Unique ID
UUID Generation Generates a universally unique identifier (UUID) .Recommended to use with Wrangler version 4.4.0 and above due to an important bug fix CDAP-17732

Performance

Initial performance tests show that with a set of directives of high complexity for transforming data, DataPrep is able to process at about ~106K records per second. The rates below are specified as records/second.

Directive Complexity Column Count Records Size Mean Rate
