Open Source Scala Data Profiling Tools

The DISTOD data profiling algorithm is a distributed algorithm to discover bidirectional order dependencies (in set-based form) from relational data. DISTOD is based on the single-threaded FASTOD-BID algorithm [1], but DISTOD scales elastically to many machines outperforming FASTOD-BID by up to orders of magnitude. Bidirectional order dependencies (bODs) capture order relationships between lists of attributes in a relational table. They can express that, for example, sorting books by publication date in ascending order also sorts them by age in descending order. The knowledge about order relationships is useful for many data management tasks, such as query optimization, data cleaning, or consistency checking. Because the bODs of a specific dataset are usually not explicitly given, they need to be discovered. The discovery of all minimal bODs (in set-based canonical form) is a task with exponential complexity in the number of attributes.

This is an offshoot project of open source data quality (osDQ) project https://sourceforge.net/projects/dataquality/ This sub project will create apache spark based data pipeline where JSON based metadata (file) will be used to run data processing , data pipeline , data quality and data preparation and data modeling features for big data. This uses java API of apache spark. It can run in local mode also. Get json example at https://github.com/arrahtech/osdq-spark How to run Unzip the zip file Windows : java -cp .\lib\*;osdq-spark-0.0.1.jar org.arrah.framework.spark.run.TransformRunner -c .\example\samplerun.json Mac UNIX java -cp ./lib/*:./osdq-spark-0.0.1.jar org.arrah.framework.spark.run.TransformRunner -c ./example/samplerun.json For those on windows, you need to have hadoop distribtion unzipped on local drive and HADOOP_HOME set. Also copy winutils.exe from here into HADOOP_HOME\bin
