Delta Sharing client library for Rust

experimental main

Please note that this project is currently experimental.

This is a simple library for Rust to access data published via Delta Sharing. Under the hood, it uses HTTP APIs exposed by Delta Sharing.

Delta Sharing is an open protocol for secure data sharing, making it simple to share data with other organizations regardless of which computing platforms they use.

Design

Features

  • Retrieve Delta Sharing information (shares, schemas, tables and files).
  • Query shared table data using Polars. get_dataframe downloads the table's parquet files (and caches then locally for subsequent queries) and returns a lazy abstraction (logical plan) over an eager DataFrame. This lazy abstraction provides methods for incrementally modifying that logical plan until output is requested (via collect).
  • Provides both an async Client (delta_sharing::Client) and a blocking one (delta_sharing::blocking::Client).

Pre-requisites

  • Rust is installed, e.g. as described here

  • Delta Sharing is set up with at least one shared table

    This library uses profile files, which are JSON files containing a user's credentials to access a Delta Sharing Server. There are several ways to get started:

    • Download the profile file to access an open, example Delta Sharing Server that we're hosting here. You can try the connectors with this sample data.
    • Start your own Delta Sharing Server and create your own profile file following profile file format to connect to this server.
    • Download a profile file from your data provider.

Quick start

  • Clone the repo
  • Set the bearerToken and endpoint values in the config.json to match your Delta Sharing information.
  • Run a simple example included with the library that uses an async client: cargo run --example async. When executed, it will get and display all the data from the first Data Sharing table it finds.
  • For an example of using a blocking version of the client to do the same, try cargo run --example blocking --features blocking.

Using in your own project

Add delta-sharing to your Cargo.toml

Development

  • Run all tests: cargo test --features blocking (or RUST_LOG=debug cargo test --features blocking for extra troubleshooting)
  • Run async client tests only: cargo test
  • Style check: cargo fmt -- --check
