InMemoryDatastore¶

class lsst.daf.butler.datastores.inMemoryDatastore.InMemoryDatastore(config: Union[Config, str], bridgeManager: DatastoreRegistryBridgeManager, butlerRoot: Optional[str] = None)¶

Bases: lsst.daf.butler.datastores.genericDatastore.GenericBaseDatastore

Attributes Documentation

bridge¶: Object that manages the interface between this Datastore and the Registry (DatastoreRegistryBridge).

containerKey = None¶

defaultConfigFile = 'datastores/inMemoryDatastore.yaml'¶: Path to configuration defaults. Accessed within the configs resource or relative to a search 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.

names¶

Names associated with this datastore returned as a list.

Can be different to name for a chaining datastore.

Methods Documentation

addStoredItemInfo(refs: Iterable[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef], infos: Iterable[lsst.daf.butler.datastores.inMemoryDatastore.StoredMemoryItemInfo]) → None¶

Record internal storage information associated with one or more datasets.

Parameters:	refs : sequence of `DatasetRef` The datasets that have been stored. infos : sequence of `StoredDatastoreItemInfo` Metadata associated with the stored datasets.

emptyTrash(ignore_errors: bool = False) → None¶

Remove all datasets from the trash.

Parameters:	ignore_errors : `bool`, optional Ignore errors.

Notes

The internal tracking of datasets is affected by this method and transaction handling is not supported if there is a problem before the datasets themselves are deleted.

Concurrency should not normally be an issue for the in memory datastore since all internal changes are isolated to solely this process and the registry only changes rows associated with this process.

exists(ref: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef) → bool¶

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`.

export(refs: Iterable[DatasetRef], *, directory: Optional[ResourcePathExpression] = None, transfer: Optional[str] = 'auto') → Iterable[FileDataset]¶

Export datasets for transfer to another data repository.

Parameters:	refs : iterable of `DatasetRef` Dataset references to be exported. directory : `str`, optional Path to a directory that should contain files corresponding to output datasets. Ignored if `transfer` is explicitly `None`. transfer : `str`, optional Mode that should be used to move datasets out of the repository. Valid options are the same as those of the `transfer` argument to `ingest`, and datastores may similarly signal that a transfer mode is not supported by raising `NotImplementedError`. If “auto” is given and no `directory` is specified, `None` will be implied.
Returns:	dataset : iterable of `DatasetTransfer` Structs containing information about the exported datasets, in the same order as `refs`.
Raises:	NotImplementedError Raised if the given transfer mode is not supported.

export_records(refs: Iterable[DatasetIdRef]) → Mapping[str, DatastoreRecordData]¶

Export datastore records and locations to an in-memory data structure.

Parameters:	refs : `Iterable` [ `DatasetIdRef` ] Datasets to save. This may include datasets not known to this datastore, which should be ignored.
Returns:	data : `Mapping` [ `str`, `DatastoreRecordData` ] Exported datastore records indexed by datastore name.

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

Indicate to the Datastore that it should remove all records of the given datasets, without actually deleting them.

Parameters:	refs : `Iterable` [ `DatasetRef` ] References to the datasets being forgotten.

Notes

Asking a datastore to forget a DatasetRef it does not hold should be a silent no-op, not an error.

static fromConfig(config: Config, bridgeManager: DatastoreRegistryBridgeManager, butlerRoot: Optional[ResourcePathExpression] = None) → 'Datastore'¶

Create datastore from type specified in config file.

Parameters:	config : `Config` Configuration instance. bridgeManager : `DatastoreRegistryBridgeManager` Object that manages the interface between `Registry` and datastores. butlerRoot : `str`, optional Butler root directory.

get(ref: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef, parameters: Optional[Mapping[str, Any], None] = None, storageClass: Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.storageClass.StorageClass, str, None] = None) → Any¶

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. storageClass : `StorageClass` or `str`, optional The storage class to be used to override the Python type returned by this method. By default the returned type matches the dataset type definition for this dataset. Specifying a read `StorageClass` can force a different type to be returned. This type must be compatible with the original type.
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() → Set[LookupKey]¶

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`.

getManyURIs(refs: Iterable[DatasetRef], predict: bool = False, allow_missing: bool = False) → Dict[DatasetRef, DatasetRefURIs]¶

Return URIs associated with many datasets.

Parameters:	refs : iterable of `DatasetIdRef` References to the required datasets. predict : `bool`, optional If the datastore does not know about a dataset, should it return a predicted URI or not? allow_missing : `bool` If `False`, and `predict` is `False`, will raise if a `DatasetRef` does not exist.
Returns:	URIs : `dict` of [`DatasetRef`, `DatasetRefUris`] A dict of primary and component URIs, indexed by the passed-in refs.
Raises:	FileNotFoundError A URI has been requested for a dataset that does not exist and guessing is not allowed.

Notes

In file-based datastores, getManuURIs does not check that the file is really there, it’s assuming it is if datastore is aware of the file then it actually exists.

getStoredItemInfo(ref: DatasetIdRef) → StoredMemoryItemInfo¶

getStoredItemsInfo(ref: DatasetIdRef) → List[StoredMemoryItemInfo]¶

Retrieve information associated with files stored in this Datastore associated with this dataset ref.

Parameters:	ref : `DatasetRef` The dataset that is to be queried.
Returns:	items : `list` [`StoredDatastoreItemInfo`] Stored information about the files and associated formatters associated with this dataset. Only one file will be returned if the dataset has not been disassembled. Can return an empty list if no matching datasets can be found.

getURI(ref: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef, predict: bool = False) → lsst.resources._resourcePath.ResourcePath¶

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 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. AssertionError Raised if an internal error occurs.

getURIs(ref: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef, predict: bool = False) → lsst.daf.butler.core.datastore.DatasetRefURIs¶

Return URIs associated with dataset.

Parameters:	ref : `DatasetRef` Reference to the required dataset. predict : `bool`, optional If the datastore does not know about the dataset, should it return a predicted URI or not?
Returns:	uris : `DatasetRefURIs` The URI to the primary artifact associated with this dataset (if the dataset was disassembled within the datastore this may be `None`), and the URIs to any components associated with the dataset artifact. (can be empty if there are no components).

Notes

The URIs returned for in-memory datastores are not usable but provide an indication of the associated dataset.

import_records(data: Mapping[str, lsst.daf.butler.core.datastoreRecordData.DatastoreRecordData]) → None¶

Import datastore location and record data from an in-memory data structure.

Parameters:	data : `Mapping` [ `str`, `DatastoreRecordData` ] Datastore records indexed by datastore name. May contain data for other `Datastore` instances (generally because they are chained to this one), which should be ignored.

Notes

Implementations should generally not check that any external resources (e.g. files) referred to by these records actually exist, for performance reasons; we expect higher-level code to guarantee that they do.

Implementations are responsible for calling DatastoreRegistryBridge.insert on all datasets in data.locations where the key is in names, as well as loading any opaque table data.

ingest(*datasets, transfer: Optional[str, None] = None, record_validation_info: bool = True) → None¶

Ingest one or more files into the datastore.

Parameters:

datasets : FileDataset: Each positional argument is a struct containing information about a file to be ingested, including its path (either absolute or relative to the datastore root, if applicable), a complete DatasetRef (with dataset_id not None), and optionally a formatter class or its fully-qualified string name. If a formatter is not provided, the one the datastore would use for put on that dataset is assumed.
transfer : str, optional: How (and whether) the dataset should be added to the datastore. If None (default), the file must already be in a location appropriate for the datastore (e.g. within its root directory), and will not be modified. Other choices include “move”, “copy”, “link”, “symlink”, “relsymlink”, and “hardlink”. “link” is a special transfer mode that will first try to make a hardlink and if that fails a symlink will be used instead. “relsymlink” creates a relative symlink rather than use an absolute path. Most datastores do not support all transfer modes. “auto” is a special option that will let the data store choose the most natural option for itself.
record_validation_info : bool, optional: If True, the default, the datastore can record validation information associated with the file. If False the datastore will not attempt to track any information such as checksums or file sizes. This can be useful if such information is tracked in an external system or if the file is to be compressed in place. It is up to the datastore whether this parameter is relevant.

Raises:

NotImplementedError: Raised if the datastore does not support the given transfer mode (including the case where ingest is not supported at all).
DatasetTypeNotSupportedError: Raised if one or more files to be ingested have a dataset type that is not supported by the datastore.
FileNotFoundError: Raised if one of the given files does not exist.
FileExistsError: Raised if transfer is not None but the (internal) location the file would be moved to is already occupied.

Notes

Subclasses should implement _prepIngest and _finishIngest instead of implementing ingest directly. Datastores that hold and delegate to child datastores may want to call those methods as well.

Subclasses are encouraged to document their supported transfer modes in their class documentation.

knows(ref: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef) → bool¶

Check if the dataset is known to the datastore.

This datastore does not distinguish dataset existence from knowledge of a dataset.

Parameters:	ref : `DatasetRef` Reference to the required dataset.
Returns:	exists : `bool` `True` if the dataset is known to the datastore.

knows_these(refs: Iterable[DatasetRef]) → dict[DatasetRef, bool]¶

Check which of the given datasets are known to this datastore.

This is like mexist() but does not check that the file exists.

Parameters:	refs : iterable `DatasetRef` The datasets to check.
Returns:	exists : dict`[`DatasetRef, `bool`] Mapping of dataset to boolean indicating whether the dataset is known to the datastore.

mexists(refs: Iterable[DatasetRef], artifact_existence: Optional[Dict[ResourcePath, bool]] = None) → Dict[DatasetRef, bool]¶

Check the existence of multiple datasets at once.

Parameters:	refs : iterable of `DatasetRef` The datasets to be checked. artifact_existence : `dict` [`lsst.resources.ResourcePath`, `bool`] Optional mapping of datastore artifact to existence. Updated by this method with details of all artifacts tested. Can be `None` if the caller is not interested.
Returns:	existence : `dict` of [`DatasetRef`, `bool`] Mapping from dataset to boolean indicating existence.

needs_expanded_data_ids(transfer: Optional[str], entity: Optional[Union[DatasetRef, DatasetType, StorageClass]] = None) → bool¶

Test whether this datastore needs expanded data IDs to ingest.

Parameters:	transfer : `str` or `None` Transfer mode for ingest. entity, optional Object representing what will be ingested. If not provided (or not specific enough), `True` may be returned even if expanded data IDs aren’t necessary.
Returns:	needed : `bool` If `True`, expanded data IDs may be needed. `False` only if expansion definitely isn’t necessary.

put(inMemoryDataset: Any, ref: lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef) → None¶

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. DatasetTypeNotSupportedError The associated `DatasetType` is not handled by this datastore.

Notes

If the datastore is configured to reject certain dataset types it is possible that the put will fail and raise a DatasetTypeNotSupportedError. The main use case for this is to allow ChainedDatastore to put to multiple datastores without requiring that every datastore accepts the dataset.

remove(ref: DatasetRef) → None¶

Indicate to the Datastore that a dataset can be removed.

Warning

This method deletes the artifact associated with this dataset and can not be reversed.

Parameters:	ref : `DatasetRef` Reference to the required Dataset.
Raises:	FileNotFoundError Attempt to remove a dataset that does not exist.

Notes

This method is used for immediate removal of a dataset and is generally reserved for internal testing of datastore APIs. It is implemented by calling trash() and then immediately calling emptyTrash(). This call is meant to be immediate so errors encountered during removal are not ignored.

removeStoredItemInfo(ref: DatasetIdRef) → None¶

Remove information about the file associated with this dataset.

Parameters:	ref : `DatasetRef` The dataset that has been removed.

retrieveArtifacts(refs: Iterable[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef], destination: lsst.resources._resourcePath.ResourcePath, transfer: str = 'auto', preserve_path: bool = True, overwrite: Optional[bool, None] = False) → List[lsst.resources._resourcePath.ResourcePath]¶

Retrieve the file artifacts associated with the supplied refs.

Notes

Not implemented by this datastore.

classmethod setConfigRoot(root: str, config: Config, full: Config, overwrite: bool = True) → None¶

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.
overwrite : bool, optional: If False, do not modify a value in config if the value already exists. Default is always to overwrite with the provided root.

Notes

If a keyword is explicitly defined in the supplied config it will not be overridden by this method if overwrite is False. This allows explicit values set in external configs to be retained.

transaction() → Iterator[lsst.daf.butler.core.datastore.DatastoreTransaction]¶

Context manager supporting Datastore transactions.

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

transfer(inputDatastore: Datastore, ref: DatasetRef) → None¶

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.

transfer_from(source_datastore: Datastore, refs: Iterable[DatasetRef], local_refs: Optional[Iterable[DatasetRef]] = None, transfer: str = 'auto', artifact_existence: Optional[Dict[ResourcePath, bool]] = None) → None¶

Transfer dataset artifacts from another datastore to this one.

Parameters:

source_datastore : Datastore: The datastore from which to transfer artifacts. That datastore must be compatible with this datastore receiving the artifacts.
refs : iterable of DatasetRef: The datasets to transfer from the source datastore.
local_refs : iterable of DatasetRef, optional: The dataset refs associated with the registry associated with this datastore. Can be None if the source and target datastore are using UUIDs.
transfer : str, optional: How (and whether) the dataset should be added to the datastore. Choices include “move”, “copy”, “link”, “symlink”, “relsymlink”, and “hardlink”. “link” is a special transfer mode that will first try to make a hardlink and if that fails a symlink will be used instead. “relsymlink” creates a relative symlink rather than use an absolute path. Most datastores do not support all transfer modes. “auto” (the default) is a special option that will let the data store choose the most natural option for itself. If the source location and transfer location are identical the transfer mode will be ignored.
artifact_existence : dict [lsst.resources.ResourcePath, bool]: Optional mapping of datastore artifact to existence. Updated by this method with details of all artifacts tested. Can be None if the caller is not interested.

Raises:

TypeError: Raised if the two datastores are not compatible.

trash(ref: Union[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef, Iterable[lsst.daf.butler.core.datasets.ref.DatasetRef]], ignore_errors: bool = False) → None¶

Indicate to the Datastore that a dataset can be removed.

Parameters:	ref : `DatasetRef` or iterable thereof Reference to the required Dataset(s). ignore_errors: `bool`, optional Indicate that errors should be ignored.
Raises:	FileNotFoundError Attempt to remove a dataset that does not exist. Only relevant if a single dataset ref is given.

Notes

Concurrency should not normally be an issue for the in memory datastore since all internal changes are isolated to solely this process and the registry only changes rows associated with this process.

validateConfiguration(entities: Iterable[Union[DatasetRef, DatasetType, StorageClass]], logFailures: bool = False) → None¶

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: LookupKey, entity: Union[DatasetRef, DatasetType, StorageClass]) → None¶

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.
