Development Notice

Checkstyle

Flake8 is used to enforce some coding guidelines.

Install flake8 for your Python interpreter using pip install flake8.
In PyCharm go to "Settings" → "Tools" → "External Tools".
Select the "+" button to add a new external tool.
Set "Name" to "flake8".
Set "Description" to "Code Style Check".
Set "Program" to the path of your Python interpreter, e.g. /usr/bin/python.
Set "Arguments" to -m flake8 --config=tox.ini.
Set "Working Directory" to $ProjectFileDir$ .

You can verify the setup by right-clicking on any file or folder in the flink-python project and running "External Tools" → "flake8".

Usage

Java-Based Implementation

We can use py4j to leverage Java code to read Paimon data. This section describes how to use this implementation.

Build paimon-python-java-bridge

cd java-based-implementation/paimon-python-java-bridge/
mvn clean install -DskipTests

The built target is java-based-implementation/paimon-python-java-bridge/target/paimon-python-java-bridge-.jar

Set Environment Variables

py4j need to access a JVM, so we should set JVM arguments (optional) and Java classpath. A convenient way is using os packages to set environment variables which only affect current process.

import os

os.environ['PYPAIMON_JAVA_CLASSPATH'] = '/path/to/paimon-python-java-bridge-<version>.jar'
os.environ['_PYPAIMON_JVM_ARGS'] = 'jvm_arg1 jvm_arg2 ...'
