refs : Iterable [ DatasetRef ]

An iterable of resolved DatasetRef instances that already exist in this Registry.
Raises:
ConflictingDefinitionError

If a Dataset with the given DatasetRef already exists in the given collection.

AmbiguousDatasetError

Raised if any(ref.id is None for ref in refs).

MissingCollectionError

Raised if collection does not exist in the registry.

TypeError

Raise adding new datasets to the given collection is not allowed.
deleteOpaqueData(tableName: str, **where) → None

Remove records from an opaque table.

Parameters:

makeQueryBuilder(summary: lsst.daf.butler.registry.queries._structs.QuerySummary) → lsst.daf.butler.registry.queries._builder.QueryBuilder

Return a QueryBuilder instance capable of constructing and managing more complex queries than those obtainable via Registry interfaces.

This is an advanced interface; downstream code should prefer Registry.queryDataIds and Registry.queryDatasets whenever those are sufficient.

Parameters:
summary : queries.QuerySummary

Object describing and categorizing the full set of dimensions that will be included in the query.
Returns:
builder : queries.QueryBuilder

Object that can be used to construct and perform advanced queries.
queryCollections(expression: Any = Ellipsis, datasetType: Optional[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.type.DatasetType] = None, collectionType: Optional[lsst.daf.butler.registry._collectionType.CollectionType] = None, flattenChains: bool = False, includeChains: Optional[bool] = None) → Iterator[str]

Iterate over the collections whose names match an expression.

Parameters:
expression : Any, optional

An expression that fully or partially identifies the collections to return, such as a str, re.Pattern, or iterable thereof. can be used to return all collections, and is the default. See Collection expressions for more information.

datasetType : DatasetType, optional

If provided, only yield collections that should be searched for this dataset type according to expression. If this is not provided, any dataset type restrictions in expression are ignored.

collectionType : CollectionType, optional

If provided, only yield collections of this type.

flattenChains : bool, optional

If True (False is default), recursively yield the child collections of matching CHAINED collections.

includeChains : bool, optional

If True, yield records for matching CHAINED collections. Default is the opposite of flattenChains: include either CHAINED collections or their children, but not both.

collection : str

The name of a collection that matches expression.
queryDataIds(dimensions: Union[Iterable[Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.elements.Dimension, str]], lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.elements.Dimension, str], *, dataId: Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.coordinate.DataCoordinate, Mapping[str, Any], None] = None, datasets: Optional[Any] = None, collections: Optional[Any] = None, where: Optional[str] = None, components: Optional[bool] = None, **kwargs) → lsst.daf.butler.registry.queries._results.DataCoordinateQueryResults

Query for data IDs matching user-provided criteria.

Parameters:
dimensions : Dimension or str, or iterable thereof

The dimensions of the data IDs to yield, as either Dimension instances or str. Will be automatically expanded to a complete DimensionGraph.

dataId : dict or DataCoordinate, optional

A data ID whose key-value pairs are used as equality constraints in the query.

datasets : Any, optional

An expression that fully or partially identifies dataset types that should constrain the yielded data IDs. For example, including “raw” here would constrain the yielded instrument, exposure, detector, and physical_filter values to only those for which at least one “raw” dataset exists in collections. Allowed types include DatasetType, str, re.Pattern, and iterables thereof. Unlike other dataset type expressions, ... is not permitted - it doesn’t make sense to constrain data IDs on the existence of all datasets. See DatasetType expressions for more information.

collections: `Any`, optional

An expression that fully or partially identifies the collections to search for datasets, such as a str, re.Pattern, or iterable thereof. can be used to return all collections. Must be provided if datasets is, and is ignored if it is not. See Collection expressions for more information.

where : str, optional

components : bool, optional

If True, apply all dataset expression patterns to component dataset type names as well. If False, never apply patterns to components. If None (default), apply patterns to components only if their parent datasets were not matched by the expression. Fully-specified component datasets (str or DatasetType instances) are always included.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments are forwarded to DataCoordinate.standardize when processing the dataId argument (and may be used to provide a constraining data ID even when the dataId argument is None).
Returns:
dataIds : DataCoordinateQueryResults

Data IDs matching the given query parameters. These are guaranteed to identify all dimensions (DataCoordinate.hasFull returns True), but will not contain DimensionRecord objects (DataCoordinate.hasRecords returns False). Call DataCoordinateQueryResults.expanded on the returned object to fetch those (and consider using DataCoordinateQueryResults.materialize on the returned object first if the expected number of rows is very large). See documentation for those methods for additional information.
queryDatasetTypes(expression: Any = Ellipsis, *, components: Optional[bool] = None) → Iterator[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.type.DatasetType]

Iterate over the dataset types whose names match an expression.

Parameters:
expression : Any, optional

An expression that fully or partially identifies the dataset types to return, such as a str, re.Pattern, or iterable thereof. can be used to return all dataset types, and is the default. See DatasetType expressions for more information.

components : bool, optional

If True, apply all expression patterns to component dataset type names as well. If False, never apply patterns to components. If None (default), apply patterns to components only if their parent datasets were not matched by the expression. Fully-specified component datasets (str or DatasetType instances) are always included.
Yields:
datasetType : DatasetType

A DatasetType instance whose name matches expression.
queryDatasets(datasetType: Any, *, collections: Any, dimensions: Optional[Iterable[Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.elements.Dimension, str]]] = None, dataId: Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.coordinate.DataCoordinate, Mapping[str, Any], None] = None, where: Optional[str] = None, deduplicate: bool = False, components: Optional[bool] = None, **kwargs) → lsst.daf.butler.registry.queries._results.DatasetQueryResults

Query for and iterate over dataset references matching user-provided criteria.

Parameters:
datasetType

An expression that fully or partially identifies the dataset types to be queried. Allowed types include DatasetType, str, re.Pattern, and iterables thereof. The special value can be used to query all dataset types. See DatasetType expressions for more information.

collections

An expression that fully or partially identifies the collections to search for datasets, such as a str, re.Pattern, or iterable thereof. can be used to return all collections. See Collection expressions for more information.

dimensions : Iterable of Dimension or str

Dimensions to include in the query (in addition to those used to identify the queried dataset type(s)), either to constrain the resulting datasets to those for which a matching dimension exists, or to relate the dataset type’s dimensions to dimensions referenced by the dataId or where arguments.

dataId : dict or DataCoordinate, optional

A data ID whose key-value pairs are used as equality constraints in the query.

where : str, optional

A string expression similar to a SQL WHERE clause. May involve any column of a dimension table or (as a shortcut for the primary key column of a dimension table) dimension name. See Dimension expressions for more information.

deduplicate : bool, optional

If True (False is default), for each result data ID, only yield one DatasetRef of each DatasetType, from the first collection in which a dataset of that dataset type appears (according to the order of collections passed in). If True, collections must not contain regular expressions and may not be .

components : bool, optional

If True, apply all dataset expression patterns to component dataset type names as well. If False, never apply patterns to components. If None (default), apply patterns to components only if their parent datasets were not matched by the expression. Fully-specified component datasets (str or DatasetType instances) are always included.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments are forwarded to DataCoordinate.standardize when processing the dataId argument (and may be used to provide a constraining data ID even when the dataId argument is None).
Returns:
refs : queries.DatasetQueryResults

Dataset references matching the given query criteria.
Raises:
TypeError

Raised when the arguments are incompatible, such as when a collection wildcard is passed when deduplicate is True.

Notes

When multiple dataset types are queried in a single call, the results of this operation are equivalent to querying for each dataset type separately in turn, and no information about the relationships between datasets of different types is included. In contexts where that kind of information is important, the recommended pattern is to use queryDataIds to first obtain data IDs (possibly with the desired dataset types and collections passed as constraints to the query), and then use multiple (generally much simpler) calls to queryDatasets with the returned data IDs passed as constraints.

queryDimensionRecords(element: Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.elements.DimensionElement, str], *, dataId: Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.coordinate.DataCoordinate, Mapping[str, Any], None] = None, datasets: Optional[Any] = None, collections: Optional[Any] = None, where: Optional[str] = None, components: Optional[bool] = None, **kwargs) → Iterator[lsst.daf.butler.core.dimensions.records.DimensionRecord]

The dimension element to obtain r

dataId : dict or DataCoordinate, optional

Whether to apply dataset expressions to components as well. See queryDataIds for more information.

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments are forwarded to DataCoordinate.standardize when processing the dataId argument (and may be used to provide a constraining data ID even when the dataId argument is None).
Returns:
dataIds : DataCoordinateQueryResults

Data IDs matching the given query parameters.
registerCollection(name: str, type: lsst.daf.butler.registry._collectionType.CollectionType = <CollectionType.TAGGED: 2>) → None

Add a new collection if one with the given name does not exist.

Parameters:
name : str

The name of the collection to create.

type : CollectionType

Enum value indicating the type of collection to create.

Notes

This method cannot be called within transactions, as it needs to be able to perform its own transaction to be concurrent.

registerDatasetType(datasetType: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.type.DatasetType) → bool

Add a new DatasetType to the Registry.

It is not an error to register the same DatasetType twice.

Parameters:
datasetType : DatasetType

The DatasetType to be added.
Returns:
inserted : bool

True if datasetType was inserted, False if an identical existing DatsetType was found. Note that in either case the DatasetType is guaranteed to be defined in the Registry consistently with the given definition.
Raises:
ValueError

Raised if the dimensions or storage class are invalid.

ConflictingDefinitionError

Raised if this DatasetType is already registered with a different definition.

Notes

This method cannot be called within transactions, as it needs to be able to perform its own transaction to be concurrent.

registerOpaqueTable(tableName: str, spec: lsst.daf.butler.core.ddl.TableSpec) → None

Add an opaque (to the Registry) table for use by a Datastore or other data repository client.

Opaque table records can be added via insertOpaqueData, retrieved via fetchOpaqueData, and removed via deleteOpaqueData.

Parameters:
tableName : str

Logical name of the opaque table. This may differ from the actual name used in the database by a prefix and/or suffix.

spec : ddl.TableSpec

Specification for the table to be added.
registerRun(name: str) → None

Add a new run if one with the given name does not exist.

Parameters:
name : str

The name of the run to create.

This method cannot be called within transactions, as it needs to be able to perform its own transaction to be concurrent.

removeCollection(name: str) → None

Completely remove the given collection.

Parameters:
name : str

The name of the collection to remove.
Raises:
MissingCollectionError

Raised if no collection with the given name exists.

Notes

If this is a RUN collection, all datasets and quanta in it are also fully removed. This requires that those datasets be removed (or at least trashed) from any datastores that hold them first.

A collection may not be deleted as long as it is referenced by a CHAINED collection; the CHAINED collection must be deleted or redefined first.

removeDatasets(refs: Iterable[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef]) → None

Remove datasets from the Registry.

The datasets will be removed unconditionally from all collections, and any Quantum that consumed this dataset will instead be marked with having a NULL input. Datastore records will not be deleted; the caller is responsible for ensuring that the dataset has already been removed from all Datastores.

Parameters:
refs : Iterable of DatasetRef

References to the datasets to be removed. Must include a valid id attribute, and should be considered invalidated upon return.
Raises:
AmbiguousDatasetError

Raised if any ref.id is None.

OrphanedRecordError

Raised if any dataset is still present in any Datastore.
setCollectionChain(parent: str, children: Any) → None

Define or redefine a CHAINED collection.

Parameters:
parent : str

Name of the chained collection. Must have already been added via a call to Registry.registerCollection.

children : Any

An expression defining an ordered search of child collections, generally an iterable of str. Restrictions on the dataset types to be searched can also be included, by passing mapping or an iterable containing tuples; see Collection expressions for more information.
Raises:
MissingCollectionError

Raised when any of the given collections do not exist in the Registry.

TypeError

Raised if parent does not correspond to a CHAINED collection.

ValueError

Raised if the given collections contains a cycle.

Parameters:
element : DimensionElement or str

The DimensionElement or name thereof that identifies the table records will be inserted into.

row : dict or DimensionRecord

The record to insert.

conform : bool, optional

If False (True is default) perform no checking or conversions, and assume that element is a DimensionElement instance and data is a one or more DimensionRecord instances of the appropriate subclass.
Returns:
inserted : bool

True if a new row was inserted, False otherwise.
Raises:
ConflictingDefinitionError

Raised if the record exists in the database (according to primary key lookup) but is inconsistent with the given one.

Notes

This method cannot be called within transactions, as it needs to be able to perform its own transaction to be concurrent.

transaction(*, savepoint: bool = False) → Iterator[None]

Return a context manager that represents a transaction.
