hana_ml.docstore package

The SAP HANA Document Store (DocStore) is used to store collections which contain one or more JSON artifacts (documents).

The SAP HANA DocStore is a place where you can collect JSON documents, that is; files with content that is formatted according to the rules defined in the JavaScript Object Notation. The DocStore allows native operations on JSON documents, for example: filtering and aggregation, as well as joins with SAP HANA column- or row-store tables.

You can use standard SQL commands to maintain the document collections in the SAP HANA DocStore and, in addition, the JSON documents that make up the collection, and any values defined in the individual JSON documents.

Note: All these functions do only supported HANA Cloud instances > SP05. Also the document store service needs to be enabled.

The following classes and functions are available:

• create_collection_from_elements()

hana_ml.docstore.create_collection_from_elements(connection_context: ConnectionContext, collection_name: str, elements: list, drop_exist_coll: bool = True, schema: str = None)

Create a collection of JSON documents and insert JSON-formatted information into the collection

Parameters:

• connection_context -- The connection to the SAP HANA system.

• collection_name -- Name of the collection, that should be created or to which the records are appended

• elements -- JSON List of elements that should be added to the collection

• drop_exist_coll -- Drop the existing table when drop_exist_coll is True and appends to the existing collection when it is False. Default is True

• schema -- The schema name. If this value is not provided or set to None, then the value defaults to the connection_context's current schema

Examples

>>> with open("./path/to/document.json") as json_file:
        data = json.load(json_file)
>>> create_collection_from_elements(
        connection_context, "test_collection", data, drop_exist_coll=True
