CSV Migration + +CSV is one of the most common formats to migrate from. See the [CSV Migration Example](../notebooks/csv_migration_example.ipynb) for a detailed walkthrough. + +#### Basic CSV Migration + +```python +import pyarrow.csv as csv_pa +from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog + +# Read CSV +csv_data = csv_pa.read_csv('data.csv') + +# Create Iceberg table +catalog = load_catalog("my_catalog") +table = catalog.create_table("my_table", schema=csv_data.schema) + +# Migrate data +table.append(csv_data) +``` + +#### Advanced CSV Migration + +- **Schema Enhancement**: Add computed columns during migration +- **Type Conversion**: Ensure proper data types +- **Partitioning**: Organize data by partition keys +- **Data Validation**: Clean and validate data + +**Best Practices**: +- Use PyArrow for efficient CSV reading +- Handle missing values explicitly +- Validate data ranges and types +- Consider partitioning for large datasets + +### 2. Parquet Migration + +Parquet to Iceberg migration is straightforward since Iceberg uses Parquet as its default file format. + +#### Basic Parquet Migration + +```python +import pyarrow.parquet as pq +from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog + +# Read Parquet +parquet_data = pq.read_table('data.parquet') + +# Create Iceberg table +catalog = load_catalog("my_catalog") +table = catalog.create_table("my_table", schema=parquet_data.schema) + +# Migrate data +table.append(parquet_data) +``` + +#### Advantages of Parquet Migration + +- **No conversion needed**: Iceberg uses Parquet natively +- **Schema preservation**: Maintains existing schema +- **Performance**: Leverages existing columnar format +- **Metadata**: Preserves existing metadata + +### 3. JSON Migration + +JSON data requires schema inference and conversion to Iceberg's schema. + +#### Basic JSON Migration + +```python +import pyarrow.json as pj +from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog + +# Read JSON +json_data = pj.read_json('data.json') + +# Create Iceberg table +catalog = load_catalog("my_catalog") +table = catalog.create_table("my_table", schema=json_data.schema) + +# Migrate data +table.append(json_data) +``` + +#### Considerations for JSON Migration + +- **Schema inference**: JSON may have inconsistent schemas +- **Nested structures**: Handle nested JSON objects +- **Data types**: Ensure proper type conversion +- **Performance**: JSON is slower than Parquet + +### 4. Hive Table Migration + +Migrate existing Hive tables to Iceberg while maintaining compatibility. + +#### Hive to Iceberg Migration + +```python +from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog + +# Load Hive catalog +catalog = load_catalog("hive", uri="thrift://hive-metastore:9083") + +# Register existing Hive table as Iceberg table +catalog.register_table( + identifier="database.table_name", + metadata_location="s3://warehouse/path/to/metadata.json" +) +``` + +#### Hive Migration Considerations + +- **Schema compatibility**: Ensure Hive schema maps to Iceberg types +- **Partitioning**: Preserve or optimize partition strategy +- **Data location**: Keep data in existing location or migrate +- **Query compatibility**: Test existing queries against Iceberg table + +### 5. Delta Lake Migration + +Migrate Delta Lake tables to Iceberg for multi-engine compatibility. + +#### Delta Lake to Iceberg Migration + +```python +import delta.pandas as delta_pd +import pyarrow as pa +from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog + +# Read Delta Lake table +delta_data = delta_pd.read_delta('delta_table_path').to_arrow() + +# Create Iceberg table +catalog = load_catalog("my_catalog") +table = catalog.create_table("my_table", schema=delta_data.schema) + +# Migrate data +table.append(delta_data) +``` + +#### Delta Lake Migration Considerations + +- **Schema evolution**: Handle Delta Lake schema changes +- **Time travel**: Preserve Delta Lake time travel capabilities +- **Performance**: Compare performance after migration +- **ACID properties**: Both systems support ACID, but implementation differs + +### 6. Database Migration + +Migrate data from traditional databases to Iceberg. + +#### Database to Iceberg Migration + +```python +import pyarrow as pa +from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog +import some_database_connector + +# Connect to database +conn = some_database_connector.connect('database_url') + +# Read data +cursor = conn.cursor() +cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name") +data = cursor.fetchall() +columns = [desc[0] for desc in cursor.description] + +# Convert to PyArrow +arrow_data = pa.array(data) +schema = pa.schema([(col, pa.string()) for col in columns]) #

Migration\n\n### Data Quality Checks\n- **Validate CSV structure**: Ensure consistent column names and types\n- **Handle missing values**: Decide on null handling strategy\n- **Check for duplicates**: Identify and handle duplicate records\n- **Validate data ranges**: Ensure values fall within expected ranges\n\n### Schema Design\n- **Use appropriate types**: Choose the most efficient data types\n- **Add computed columns**: Enhance data with derived values during migration\n- **Consider partitioning**: Plan partition strategy for large datasets\n- **Document changes**: Keep track of schema evolution\n\n### Performance Considerations\n- **Batch size**: Process large CSV files in batches\n- **Memory management**: Be mindful of memory for large files\n- **File size optimization**: Target appropriate Iceberg file sizes (typically 128MB-1GB)\n- **Compression**: Use compression for storage efficiency\n\n### Production Considerations\n- **Incremental updates**: Plan for ongoing CSV updates\n- **Backward compatibility**: Ensure queries work during migration\n- **Monitoring**: Track migration progress and data quality\n- **Rollback plan**: Have a strategy to revert if needed", +

Iceberg conversion\n2. **Schema Enhancement**: Adding computed columns during migration\n3. **Partitioned Migration**: Organizing data for better performance\n\n### Key Benefits of Migrating to Iceberg\n\n- **Performance**: Columnar Parquet format provides better compression and query performance\n- **Schema Evolution**: Add/modify columns without breaking existing queries\n- **ACID Transactions**: Reliable data operations with rollback support\n- **Time Travel**: Query historical data at any point in time\n- **Partitioning**: Efficient data organization for large datasets\n- **Compatibility**: Works with multiple compute engines (Spark, DuckDB, Trino, etc.)\n\n### Next Steps\n\n- Explore other migration patterns (Parquet, JSON, Avro to Iceberg)\n- Implement incremental migration for ongoing CSV updates\n- Set up monitoring and data quality checks\n- Integrate with your existing data pipeline", + "metadata": {} + }, + { + "cell_type": "markdown", + "source": "##

You want to use advanced SQL functions (window functions, CTEs, etc.)\n- You're doing data science and statistical analysis\n- You need high-performance aggregations and filtering\n- You want to prototype queries before productionizing\n\n**Use PyIceberg directly when:**\n- You need transactional guarantees (ACID operations)\n- You're doing schema evolution\n- You need time travel and versioning\n- You're building production data pipelines\n- You need integration with Iceberg's advanced features (partitioning, Z-ordering, etc.)\n\n### Performance Tips\n\n1. **Use filtering**: DuckDB excels at predicate pushdown, so filter data early\n2. **Leverage columnar format**: Only select the columns you need\n3. **Use appropriate file sizes**: Iceberg's file sizing affects DuckDB read performance\n4. **Consider partitioning**: Well-partitioned data improves both Iceberg and DuckDB performance\n5. **Use DuckDB's extensions**: Take advantage of DuckDB's rich ecosystem\n\n### Integration Patterns\n\n1. **Read-only analytics**: Use DuckDB for fast queries on Iceberg data\n2. **ETL workflows**: Transform with DuckDB, write back with PyIceberg\n3. **Data science**: Use DuckDB for analysis, PyIceberg for data management\n4. **Hybrid approaches**: Use both tools based on the specific task", + "metadata": {} + }, + { + "cell_type": "markdown", + "source": "## Conclusion\n\nThis example demonstrated how PyIceberg and DuckDB work together seamlessly:\n\n- **PyIceberg** provides robust table management, ACID transactions, and schema evolution\n- **DuckDB** provides high-performance SQL analytics on Iceberg's Parquet files\n- **Integration** allows you to leverage the strengths of both tools\n\nThe combination is particularly powerful for:\n- Data exploration and prototyping\n- Data science and analytics workflows\n- High-performance analytics on large datasets\n- Building modern data lakehouse architectures\n\n## Cleanup\n\nLet's clean up the

when data issues occurred\n- Compare states before and after problematic changes\n- Identify root causes of data corruption\n\n### Audit & Compliance\n- Meet regulatory requirements for data history\n- Track all changes for audit trails\n- Provide evidence of data states at specific times\n\n### Machine Learning\n- Access training data from specific time periods\n- Ensure reproducible experiments with historical data\n- Backtest models using historical snapshots\n\n### Data Recovery\n- Recover from accidental deletions or updates\n- Revert to known good states\n- Implement disaster recovery strategies\n\n### Analytics\n- Analyze trends over time\n- Compare performance across different periods\n- Generate historical reports" + }, + { + "cell_type": "markdown", + "metadata": {}, + "source": "## Best Practices & Performance Considerations\n\n### Snapshot Management\n- **Regular cleanup**: Expire old snapshots to save storage\n- **Snapshot retention**: Define retention policies based on compliance needs\n- **Monitoring**: Track snapshot count and storage usage\n- **Documentation**: Document snapshot retention policies\n\n### Performance\n- **Snapshot lookup**: Querying by snapshot ID is faster than timestamp\n- **Metadata caching**: Cache snapshot metadata for frequently accessed snapshots\n- **File pruning**: Delete unused data files from expired snapshots\n- **Storage costs**: Monitor storage growth due to snapshot retention\n\n### Production Considerations\n- **Access control**: Implement proper permissions for time travel queries\n- **Compliance**: Ensure retention policies meet regulatory requirements\n- **Testing**: Test rollback procedures before production use\n- **Monitoring**: Monitor time travel query performance\n- **Documentation**: Document snapshot management procedures" + }, + { + "cell_type": "markdown", + "metadata": {}, + "source": "## Conclusion\n\nThis example demonstrated Iceberg's powerful time travel capabilities:\n\n### Key Takeaways\n- **Snapshots**: Each operation creates a snapshot with unique ID and timestamp\n- **Time travel**: Query historical data using snapshot IDs or timestamps\n- **Rollback**: Revert to previous table states when needed\n- **Audit trail**: Complete history of all changes to the table\n- **Production ready**: Essential for debugging, compliance, and data recovery\n\n### When to Use Time Travel\n- **Debugging**: Investigate data issues and their causes\n- **Compliance**: Meet regulatory requirements for data history\n- **Analytics**: Analyze trends and compare historical states\n- **Recovery**: Recover from accidental data changes\n- **ML**: Access historical data for model training and testing\n\n### Next Steps\n- Implement snapshot expiration policies\n- Set up monitoring for snapshot management\n- Integrate time travel into your debugging workflows\n- Document snapshot retention and access policies" + }, + { + "cell_type": "markdown", +
