**Fugue is a unified interface for distributed computing that lets users execute Python, Pandas, and SQL code on Spark, Dask, and Ray with minimal rewrites**.
Fugue is most commonly used for:
* **Parallelizing or scaling existing Python and Pandas code** by bringing it to Spark, Dask, or Ray with minimal rewrites.
* Using [FugueSQL](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/quick_look/ten_minutes_sql.html) to **define end-to-end workflows** on top of Pandas, Spark, and Dask DataFrames. FugueSQL is an enhanced SQL interface that can invoke Python code.
To see how Fugue compares to other frameworks like dbt, Arrow, Ibis, PySpark Pandas, see the [comparisons](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/#how-does-fugue-compare-to)
## [Fugue API](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/quick_look/ten_minutes.html)
The Fugue API is a collection of functions that are capable of running on Pandas, Spark, Dask, and Ray. The simplest way to use Fugue is the [`transform()` function](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/beginner/transform.html). This lets users parallelize the execution of a single function by bringing it to Spark, Dask, or Ray. In the example below, the `map_letter_to_food()` function takes in a mapping and applies it on a column. This is just Pandas and Python so far (without Fugue).
```python
import pandas as pd
from typing import Dict
input_df = pd.DataFrame({"id":[0,1,2], "value": (["A", "B", "C"])})
map_dict = {"A": "Apple", "B": "Banana", "C": "Carrot"}
def map_letter_to_food(df: pd.DataFrame, mapping: Dict[str, str]) -> pd.DataFrame:
df["value"] = df["value"].map(mapping)
return df
```
Now, the `map_letter_to_food()` function is brought to the Spark execution engine by invoking the `transform()` function of Fugue. The output `schema` and `params` are passed to the `transform()` call. The `schema` is needed because it's a requirement for distributed frameworks. A schema of `"*"` below means all input columns are in the output.
```python
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from fugue import transform
spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
sdf = spark.createDataFrame(input_df)
out = transform(sdf,
map_letter_to_food,
schema="*",
params=dict(mapping=map_dict),
)
# out is a Spark DataFrame
out.show()
```
```rst
+---+------+
| id| value|
+---+------+
| 0| Apple|
| 1|Banana|
| 2|Carrot|
+---+------+
```
PySpark equivalent of Fugue transform()
```python
from typing import Iterator, Union
from pyspark.sql.types import StructType
from pyspark.sql import DataFrame, SparkSession
spark_session = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
def mapping_wrapper(dfs: Iterator[pd.DataFrame], mapping):
for df in dfs:
yield map_letter_to_food(df, mapping)
def run_map_letter_to_food(input_df: Union[DataFrame, pd.DataFrame], mapping):
# conversion
if isinstance(input_df, pd.DataFrame):
sdf = spark_session.createDataFrame(input_df.copy())
else:
sdf = input_df.copy()
schema = StructType(list(sdf.schema.fields))
return sdf.mapInPandas(lambda dfs: mapping_wrapper(dfs, mapping),
schema=schema)
result = run_map_letter_to_food(input_df, map_dict)
result.show()
```
This syntax is simpler, cleaner, and more maintainable than the PySpark equivalent. At the same time, no edits were made to the original Pandas-based function to bring it to Spark. It is still usable on Pandas DataFrames. Fugue `transform()` also supports Dask and Ray as execution engines alongside the default Pandas-based engine.
The Fugue API has a broader collection of functions that are also compatible with Spark, Dask, and Ray. For example, we can use `load()` and `save()` to create an end-to-end workflow compatible with Spark, Dask, and Ray. For the full list of functions, see the [Top Level API](https://fugue.readthedocs.io/en/latest/top_api.html)
```python
import fugue.api as fa
def run(engine=None):
with fa.engine_context(engine):
df = fa.load("/path/to/file.parquet")
out = fa.transform(df, map_letter_to_food, schema="*")
fa.save(out, "/path/to/output_file.parquet")
run() # runs on Pandas
run(engine="spark") # runs on Spark
run(engine="dask") # runs on Dask
```
All functions underneath the context will run on the specified backend. This makes it easy to toggle between local execution, and distributed execution.
## [FugueSQL](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/fugue_sql/index.html)
FugueSQL is a SQL-based language capable of expressing end-to-end data workflows on top of Pandas, Spark, and Dask. The `map_letter_to_food()` function above is used in the SQL expression below. This is how to use a Python-defined function along with the standard SQL `SELECT` statement.
```python
from fugue.api import fugue_sql
import json
query = """
SELECT id, value
FROM input_df
TRANSFORM USING map_letter_to_food(mapping={{mapping}}) SCHEMA *
"""
map_dict_str = json.dumps(map_dict)
# returns Pandas DataFrame
fugue_sql(query,mapping=map_dict_str)
# returns Spark DataFrame
fugue_sql(query, mapping=map_dict_str, engine="spark")
```
## Installation
Fugue can be installed through pip or conda. For example:
```bash
pip install fugue
```
In order to use Fugue SQL, it is strongly recommended to install the `sql` extra:
```bash
pip install fugue[sql]
```
It also has the following installation extras:
* **sql**: to support Fugue SQL. Without this extra, the non-SQL part still works. Before Fugue 0.9.0, this extra is included in Fugue's core dependency so you don't need to install explicitly. **But for 0,9.0+, this becomes required if you want to use Fugue SQL.**
* **spark**: to support Spark as the [ExecutionEngine](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/advanced/execution_engine.html).
* **dask**: to support Dask as the ExecutionEngine.
* **ray**: to support Ray as the ExecutionEngine.
* **duckdb**: to support DuckDB as the ExecutionEngine, read [details](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/integrations/backends/duckdb.html).
* **polars**: to support Polars DataFrames and extensions using Polars.
* **ibis**: to enable Ibis for Fugue workflows, read [details](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/integrations/backends/ibis.html).
* **cpp_sql_parser**: to enable the CPP antlr parser for Fugue SQL. It can be 50+ times faster than the pure Python parser. For the main Python versions and platforms, there is already pre-built binaries, but for the remaining, it needs a C++ compiler to build on the fly.
For example a common use case is:
```bash
pip install "fugue[duckdb,spark]"
```
Note if you already installed Spark or DuckDB independently, Fugue is able to automatically use them without installing the extras.
## [Getting Started](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/)
The best way to get started with Fugue is to work through the 10 minute tutorials:
* [Fugue API in 10 minutes](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/quick_look/ten_minutes.html)
* [FugueSQL in 10 minutes](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/tutorials/quick_look/ten_minutes_sql.html)
For the top level API, see:
* [Fugue Top Level API](https://fugue.readthedocs.io/en/latest/top_api.html)
The [tutorials](https://fugue-tutorials.readthedocs.io/) can also be run in an interactive notebook environment through binder or Docker:
### Using binder
[](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/fugue-project/tutorials/master)
**Note it runs slow on binder** because the machine on binder isn't powerful enough for a distributed framework such as Spark. Parallel executions can become sequential, so some of the performance comparison examples will not give you the correct numbers.
### Using Docker
Alternatively, you should get decent performance by running this Docker image on your own machine:
```bash
docker run -p 8888:8888 fugueproject/tutorials:latest
```
## Jupyter Notebook Extension
There is an accompanying [notebook extension](https://pypi.org/project/fugue-jupyter/) for FugueSQL that lets users use the `%%fsql` cell magic. The extension also provides syntax highlighting for FugueSQL cells. It works for both classic notebook and Jupyter Lab. More details can be found in the [installation instructions](https://github.com/fugue-project/fugue-jupyter#install).
