Deequ is a library built on top of Apache Spark for defining "unit tests for data", which measure data quality in large datasets. We are happy to receive feedback andcontributions.

Python users may also be interested in PyDeequ, a Python interface for Deequ. You can find PyDeequ onGitHub,readthedocs, andPyPI.

Requirements and Installation

Deequ depends on Java 8. Deequ version 2.x only runs with Spark 3.1, and vice versa. If you rely on a previous Spark version, please use a Deequ 1.x version (legacy version is maintained in legacy-spark-3.0 branch). We provide legacy releases compatible with Apache Spark versions 2.2.x to 3.0.x. The Spark 2.2.x and 2.3.x releases depend on Scala 2.11 and the Spark 2.4.x, 3.0.x, and 3.1.x releases depend on Scala 2.12.

Available viamaven central.

Choose the latest release that matches your Spark version from theavailable versions. Add the release as a dependency to your project. For example, for Spark 3.1.x:

Maven

<dependency>  <groupId>com.amazon.deequ</groupId>  <artifactId>deequ</artifactId>  <version>2.0.0-spark-3.1</version></dependency>

sbt

libraryDependencies += "com.amazon.deequ" % "deequ" % "2.0.0-spark-3.1"

Example

Deequ's purpose is to "unit-test" data to find errors early, before the data gets fed to consuming systems or machine learning algorithms. In the following, we will walk you through a toy example to showcase the most basic usage of our library. An executable version of the example is availablehere.

Deequ works on tabular data, e.g., CSV files, database tables, logs, flattened json files, basically anything that you can fit into a Spark dataframe. For this example, we assume that we work on some kind ofItem data, where every item has an id, a productName, a description, a priority and a count of how often it has been viewed.

caseclassItem(id:Long,productName:String,description:String,priority:String,numViews:Long)

Our library is built onApache Spark and is designed to work with very large datasets (think billions of rows) that typically live in a distributed filesystem or a data warehouse. For the sake of simplicity in this example, we just generate a few toy records though.

valrdd= spark.sparkContext.parallelize(Seq(Item(1,"Thingy A","awesome thing.","high",0),Item(2,"Thingy B","available at http://thingb.com",null,0),Item(3,null,null,"low",5),Item(4,"Thingy D","checkout https://thingd.ca","low",10),Item(5,"Thingy E",null,"high",12)))valdata= spark.createDataFrame(rdd)

Most applications that work with data have implicit assumptions about that data, e.g., that attributes have certain types, do not contain NULL values, and so on. If these assumptions are violated, your application might crash or produce wrong outputs. The idea behinddeequ is to explicitly state these assumptions in the form of a "unit-test" for data, which can be verified on a piece of data at hand. If the data has errors, we can "quarantine" and fix it, before we feed it to an application.

The main entry point for defining how you expect your data to look is theVerificationSuite from which you can addChecks that define constraints on attributes of the data. In this example, we test for the following properties of our data:

  • there are 5 rows in total
  • values of theid attribute are never NULL and unique
  • values of theproductName attribute are never NULL
  • thepriority attribute can only contain "high" or "low" as value
  • numViews should not contain negative values
  • at least half of the values indescription should contain a url
  • the median ofnumViews should be less than or equal to 10

In code this looks as follows:

importcom.amazon.deequ.VerificationSuiteimportcom.amazon.deequ.checks.{Check,CheckLevel,CheckStatus}valverificationResult=VerificationSuite()  .onData(data)  .addCheck(Check(CheckLevel.Error,"unit testing my data")      .hasSize(_==5)// we expect 5 rows      .isComplete("id")// should never be NULL      .isUnique("id")// should not contain duplicates      .isComplete("productName")// should never be NULL// should only contain the values "high" and "low"      .isContainedIn("priority",Array("high","low"))      .isNonNegative("numViews")// should not contain negative values// at least half of the descriptions should contain a url      .containsURL("description", _>=0.5)// half of the items should have less than 10 views      .hasApproxQuantile("numViews",0.5, _<=10))    .run()

After callingrun,deequ translates your test to a series of Spark jobs, which it executes to compute metrics on the data. Afterwards it invokes your assertion functions (e.g.,_ == 5 for the size check) on these metrics to see if the constraints hold on the data. We can inspect theVerificationResult to see if the test found errors:

importcom.amazon.deequ.constraints.ConstraintStatusif (verificationResult.status==CheckStatus.Success) {  println("The data passed the test, everything is fine!")}else {  println("We found errors in the data:\n")valresultsForAllConstraints= verificationResult.checkResults    .flatMap {case (_, checkResult)=> checkResult.constraintResults }  resultsForAllConstraints    .filter { _.status!=ConstraintStatus.Success }    .foreach { result=> println(s"${result.constraint}:${result.message.get}") }}

If we run the example, we get the following output:

We found errors in the data:CompletenessConstraint(Completeness(productName)): Value: 0.8 does not meet the requirement!PatternConstraint(containsURL(description)): Value: 0.4 does not meet the requirement!

The test found that our assumptions are violated! Only 4 out of 5 (80%) of the values of theproductName attribute are non-null and only 2 out of 5 (40%) values of thedescription attribute did contain a url. Fortunately, we ran a test and found the errors, somebody should immediately fix the data :)

More examples

Our library contains much more functionality than what we showed in the basic example. We are in the process of addingmore examples for its advanced features. So far, we showcase the following functionality:
