InMemoryDatastore

class lsst.daf.butler.datastores.inMemoryDatastore.InMemoryDatastore(config, registry=None)

Bases: lsst.daf.butler.Datastore

Basic Datastore for writing to an in memory cache.

This datastore is ephemeral in that the contents of the datastore disappear when the Python process completes. This also means that other processes can not access this datastore.

Parameters:

Configuration.

Attributes:

config : DatastoreConfig

Configuration used to create Datastore.

storageClassFactory : StorageClassFactory

Factory for creating storage class instances from name.

name : str

Label associated with this Datastore.

Attributes Documentation

containerKey = None

defaultConfigFile = 'datastores/inMemoryDatastore.yaml'

Path to configuration defaults. Relative to $DAF_BUTLER_DIR/config or absolute path. Can be None if no defaults specified.

isEphemeral = True

A new datastore is created every time and datasets disappear when the process shuts down.

Methods Documentation

addStoredItemInfo(ref, info)

Record internal storage information associated with this DatasetRef.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

The Dataset that has been stored.

info : StoredItemInfo

Metadata associated with the stored Dataset.

Raises:

KeyError

An entry with this DatasetRef already exists.

exists(ref)

Check if the dataset exists in the datastore.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the required dataset.

Returns:

exists : bool

True if the entity exists in the Datastore.

static fromConfig(config, registry)

Create datastore from type specified in config file.

Parameters:

config : Config

Configuration instance.

get(ref, parameters=None)

Load an InMemoryDataset from the store.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the required Dataset.

parameters : dict

StorageClass-specific parameters that specify, for example, a slice of the Dataset to be loaded.

Returns:

inMemoryDataset : object

Requested Dataset or slice thereof as an InMemoryDataset.

Raises:

FileNotFoundError

Requested dataset can not be retrieved.

TypeError

Return value from formatter has unexpected type.

ValueError

Formatter failed to process the dataset.

getLookupKeys()

Return all the lookup keys relevant to this datastore.

Returns:

keys : set of LookupKey

The keys stored internally for looking up information based on DatasetType name or StorageClass.

getStoredItemInfo(ref)

Retrieve information associated with object stored in this Datastore.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

The Dataset that is to be queried.

Returns:

info : StoredItemInfo

Stored information about the internal location of this file and its formatter.

Raises:

KeyError

Dataset with that id can not be found.

getUri(ref, predict=False)

URI to the Dataset.

Always uses “mem://” URI prefix.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the required Dataset.

predict : bool

If True, allow URIs to be returned of datasets that have not been written.

Returns:

uri : str

URI string pointing to the Dataset within the datastore. If the Dataset does not exist in the datastore, and if predict is True, the URI will be a prediction and will include a URI fragment “#predicted”. If the datastore does not have entities that relate well to the concept of a URI the returned URI string will be descriptive. The returned URI is not guaranteed to be obtainable.

Raises:

FileNotFoundError

A URI has been requested for a dataset that does not exist and guessing is not allowed.

ingest(path, ref, formatter=None, transfer=None)

Add an on-disk file with the given DatasetRef to the store, possibly transferring it.

The caller is responsible for ensuring that the given (or predicted) Formatter is consistent with how the file was written; ingest will in general silently ignore incorrect formatters (as it cannot efficiently verify their correctness), deferring errors until get is first called on the ingested dataset.

Datastores are not required to implement this method, but must do so in order to support direct raw data ingest.

Parameters:

path : str

File path, relative to the repository root.

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the associated Dataset.

formatter : Formatter (optional)

Formatter that should be used to retreive the Dataset. If not provided, the formatter will be constructed according to Datastore configuration.

transfer : str (optional)

If not None, must be one of ‘move’, ‘copy’, ‘hardlink’, or ‘symlink’ indicating how to transfer the file. Datastores need not support all options, but must raise NotImplementedError if the passed option is not supported. That includes None, which indicates that the file should be ingested at its current location with no transfer. If a Datastore does support ingest-without-transfer in general, but the given path is not appropriate, an exception other than NotImplementedError that better describes the problem should be raised.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Raised if the given transfer mode is not supported.

put(inMemoryDataset, ref)

Write a InMemoryDataset with a given DatasetRef to the store.

Parameters:

inMemoryDataset : object

The Dataset to store.

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the associated Dataset.

Raises:

TypeError

Supplied object and storage class are inconsistent.

remove(ref)

Indicate to the Datastore that a Dataset can be removed.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the required Dataset.

Raises:

FileNotFoundError

Attempt to remove a dataset that does not exist.

removeStoredItemInfo(ref)

Remove information about the object associated with this dataset.

Parameters:

ref : DatasetRef

The Dataset that has been removed.

classmethod setConfigRoot(root, config, full)

Set any filesystem-dependent config options for this Datastore to be appropriate for a new empty repository with the given root.

Does nothing in this implementation.

Parameters:

root : str

Filesystem path to the root of the data repository.

config : Config

A Config to update. Only the subset understood by this component will be updated. Will not expand defaults.

full : Config

A complete config with all defaults expanded that can be converted to a DatastoreConfig. Read-only and will not be modified by this method. Repository-specific options that should not be obtained from defaults when Butler instances are constructed should be copied from full to Config.

transaction()

Context manager supporting Datastore transactions.

Transactions can be nested, and are to be used in combination with Registry.transaction.

transfer(inputDatastore, ref)

Retrieve a Dataset from an input Datastore, and store the result in this Datastore.

Parameters:

inputDatastore : Datastore

The external Datastore from which to retreive the Dataset.

ref : DatasetRef

Reference to the required Dataset in the input data store.

validateConfiguration(entities, logFailures=False)

Validate some of the configuration for this datastore.

Parameters:

entities : iterable of DatasetRef, DatasetType, or StorageClass

Entities to test against this configuration. Can be differing types.

logFailures : bool, optional

If True, output a log message for every validation error detected.

Raises:

DatastoreValidationError

Raised if there is a validation problem with a configuration. All the problems are reported in a single exception.

Notes

This method is a no-op.

validateKey(lookupKey, entity)

Validate a specific look up key with supplied entity.

Parameters:

lookupKey : LookupKey

Key to use to retrieve information from the datastore configuration.

entity : DatasetRef, DatasetType, or StorageClass

Entity to compare with configuration retrieved using the specified lookup key.

Raises:

DatastoreValidationError

Raised if there is a problem with the combination of entity and lookup key.

Notes

Bypasses the normal selection priorities by allowing a key that would normally not be selected to be validated.
