python-domino

This library provides bindings for the Domino APIs. It ships with the Domino Standard Environment (DSE).

See this documentation for details about the APIs:

The latest released version of python-domino is 1.4.3.

Version compatibility matrix

The python-domino library is compatible with different versions of Domino:

Domino Versions python-domino

3.6.x or lower

0.3.5

4.1.0 or higher

1.0.0 or higher

5.3.0 or higher

1.2.0 or Higher

5.5.0 or higher

1.2.2 or Higher

5.10.0 or higher

1.3.1 or Higher

5.11.0 or higher

1.4.1 or Higher

6.0.0 or higher

1.4.3 or Higher

Development

The current python-domino is based on Python 3.9, which is therefore recommended for development. Pipenv is also recommended to manage the dependencies.

To use the Python binding in a Domino workbook session, include dominodatalab in your project’s requirements.txt file. This makes the Python binding available for each new workbook session (or batch run) started within the project.

To install dependencies from setup.py for development:

pipenv install -e ".[dev]"

Use the same process for Airflow and data:

pipenv install -e ".[data]" ".[airflow]"

Set up the connection

You can set up the connection by creating a new instance of Domino:

_class_ Domino(project, api_key=None, host=None, domino_token_file=None, auth_token=None)
Parameters
  • project: A project identifier (in the form of owner_user_name/projectname).

  • api_proxy: (Optional) Location of the Domino API reverse proxy as host:port.

    If set, this proxy is used to intercept any Domino API requests and insert an authentication token. This is the preferred method of authentication. Alternatively, set the DOMINO_API_PROXY environment variable. In Domino 5.4.0 or later, this variable is set inside a Domino run container.

    Note
    This mechanism does not work when connecting to an HTTPS endpoint; it is meant to be used inside Domino runs.
  • api_key: (Optional) An API key to authenticate with.

    See Get API Key. If not provided, the library expects to find one in the DOMINO_USER_API_KEY environment variable.

  • host: (Optional) A host URL.

    If not provided, the library expects to find one in the DOMINO_API_HOST environment variable.

  • domino_token_file: (Optional) Path to the Domino token file containing auth token.

    If not provided, the library expects to find one in the DOMINO_TOKEN_FILE environment variable.

  • auth_token: (Optional) Authentication token.

Authentication

Domino looks for the authentication method in the following order and uses the first one it finds:

  1. api_proxy

  2. auth_token

  3. domino_token_file

  4. api_key

  5. DOMINO_API_PROXY

  6. DOMINO_TOKEN_FILE

  7. DOMINO_USER_API_KEY

The API proxy is the preferred method of authentication. See Use the API Proxy to Authenticate Calls to the Domino API.

Additional environment variables

  • DOMINO_LOG_LEVEL

    The default log level is INFO. You can change the log level by setting DOMINO_LOG_LEVEL, for example to DEBUG.

  • DOMINO_VERIFY_CERTIFICATE

    For testing purposes and issues with SSL certificates, set DOMINO_VERIFY_CERTIFICATE to false. Be sure to unset this variable when not in use.

  • DOMINO_MAX_RETRIES

    Default Retry is set to 4 Determines the number of attempts for the request session in case of a ConnectionError Get more info on request max timeout/error durations based on Retry and backoff factors

Example

from domino import Domino

# By and large your commands will run against a single project,
# so you must specify the full project name
domino = Domino("chris/canon")

# List all runs in the project, most-recently queued first
all_runs = domino.runs_list()['data']

latest_100_runs = all_runs[0:100]

print(latest_100_runs)

# all runs have a commitId (the snapshot of the project when the
# run starts) and, if the run completed, an "outputCommitId"
# (the snapshot of the project after the run completed)
most_recent_run = all_runs[0]

commitId = most_recent_run['outputCommitId']

# list all the files in the output commit ID -- only showing the
# entries under the results directory.  If not provided, will
# list all files in the project.  Or you can say path=“/“ to
# list all files
files = domino.files_list(commitId, path='results/')['data']

for file in files:
print file['path'], '->', file['url']

print(files)

# Get the content (i.e. blob) for the file you're interested in.
# blobs_get_v2 returns a connection rather than the content, because
# the content can get quite large and it's up to you how you want
# to handle it
print(domino.blobs_get_v2(files[0]['path'], commitId, domino.project_id).read())

# Start a run of file main.py using the latest copy of that file
domino.runs_start(["main.py", "arg1", "arg2"])

# Start a "direct" command
domino.runs_start(["echo 'Hello, World!'"], isDirect=True)

# Start a run of a specific commit
domino.runs_start(["main.py"], commitId="aabbccddee")

Airflow

The python-domino client comes bundled with an Operator for use with Apache Airflow as an extra.

When installing the client from PyPI, add the airflow flag to extras:

pip install "dominodatalab[airflow]"

Similarly, when installing the client from GitHub, use the following command:

pip install -e git+{python-domino-repo}[email protected]#egg="dominodatalab[airflow]"

See also example_airflow_dag.py for example code.

DominoOperator

from domino.airflow import DominoOperator

Allows a user to schedule Domino executions via Airflow. Follows the same function signature as domino.runs_start with two extra arguments:

startup_delay: Optional[int] = 10

Add a startup delay to your job, useful if you want to delay execution until after other work finishes.

include_setup_log: Optional[bool] = True

Determine whether to publish the setup log of the job as the log prefix before stdout.

DominoSparkOperator

from domino.airflow import DominoSparkOperator

Allows a user to schedule Domino executions via the v4 API, which supports onDemandSparkClusters. Follows the same function signature as domino.job_start, with the addition of startup_delay from above.

Manual installation

Because python-domino ships with the DSE, normally you do not need to install it. This section provides instructions for installing it in another environment or updating it to a newer version.

Starting from version 1.0.6, python-domino is available on PyPI as dominodatalab:

pip install dominodatalab

If you are adding install instructions for python-domino to your Domino Environment Dockerfile Instructions field, you must add RUN to the beginning:

RUN pip install dominodatalab

To install a specific version of the library from PyPI, such as 1.0.6:

pip install dominodatalab==1.0.6

To install a specific version of the library from GitHub, such as 1.0.6:

pip install {python-domino-repo}/archive/1.0.6.zip
