Data Manager

Data Manager is a modular Python framework for data engineering, validation, and analytics workflows. It provides a unified, job-based architecture on top of interchangeable storage backends, enabling structured and reproducible processing of tabular datasets.

Features

• Pluggable storage backends — swap between CSV, JSON, and in-memory storage with a consistent interface
• Job-based execution model — cleanly separates engineering, validation, and analytics concerns
• Data engineering utilities — remove duplicates, handle missing values
• Data validation — schema validation, data type checks, and nullability checks
• Data analytics & profiling — summary statistics, column-level analysis, missing value reports, and full dataset profiling
• Fully tested — comprehensive test suite using pytest with coverage reporting

---

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install data-manager-framework

Requirements: Python ≥ 3.12, pandas, numpy

---

Architecture Overview

Data Manager is built around two core concepts:

1. Storage Backends — responsible for reading, holding, and writing data. All backends expose a consistent interface (read, write, data), so jobs are fully decoupled from the underlying file format.

2. Jobs — stateless workers that accept a storage object and operate on its data. The three built-in job classes are DataEngineer, DataValidation, and DataAnalytics.

Quick Start

from data_manager.storage.csv_backend import CSVStorage
from data_manager.jobs.data_analytics import DataAnalytics

# Load data
storage = CSVStorage()
storage.load("data.csv")

# Run analytics
analytics = DataAnalytics(storage)
print(analytics.summary())

---

Storage Backends

All storage backends share the same interface. You can swap one for another without changing any of your job code.

CSVStorage

Reads and writes CSV files using pandas.

from data_manager.storage.csv_backend import CSVStorage

storage = CSVStorage()
storage.load("data.csv")

# Access the underlying DataFrame
print(storage.data.head())

# Write back to disk
storage.write("output.csv")

JSONStorage

Reads and writes JSON files.

from data_manager.storage.json_backend import JSONStorage

storage = JSONStorage()
storage.load("data.json")
storage.write("output.json")

InMemoryStorage

Holds data in memory — useful for testing or for passing a pre-built pandas DataFrame directly into the job pipeline.

import pandas as pd
from data_manager.storage.In_memory_backend import InMemoryStorage

df = pd.DataFrame({"name": ["Alice", "Bob"], "age": [30, 25]})

storage = InMemoryStorage()
storage.data = df

---

Jobs

Jobs accept a storage object in their constructor and operate on storage.data. They do not read or write files themselves — that is the storage layer's responsibility.

DataEngineer

Handles data cleaning and preprocessing tasks.

from data_manager.storage.csv_backend import CSVStorage
from data_manager.jobs.data_engineer import DataEngineer

storage = CSVStorage()
storage.load("raw_data.csv")

engineer = DataEngineer(storage)

# Remove duplicate rows
engineer.removeDuplicates()

# Drop rows with any null values
engineer.removeNull()

# Persist the cleaned dataset
storage.write("cleaned_data.csv")

Method	Description
removeDuplicates()	Drops all fully duplicate rows from the dataset
removeNull()	Drops all rows containing one or more null values

---

DataValidation

Validates the structure and content of a dataset against expected rules.

from data_manager.storage.csv_backend import CSVStorage
from data_manager.jobs.data_validator import DataValidator

storage = CSVStorage()
storage.load("data.csv")

validator = DataValidator(storage)

# Check for required columns and expected types
validator.validateSchema({"name": "object", "age": "int64", "salary": "float64"})

# Check that specific columns have no null values
validator.checkNullability(["name", "age"])

Method	Description
validateSchema(schema)	Validates that columns exist and match their expected dtypes
checkNullability(columns)	Raises or reports when specified columns contain null values

---

DataAnalytics

Profiles and summarises a loaded dataset.

from data_manager.storage.csv_backend import CSVStorage
from data_manager.jobs.data_analytics import DataAnalytics

storage = CSVStorage()
storage.load("data.csv")

analytics = DataAnalytics(storage)

# High-level dataset summary (shape, dtypes, null counts)
print(analytics.summary())

# Per-column descriptive statistics
print(analytics.columnStats())

# Count and percentage of missing values per column
print(analytics.missingValueAnalysis())

# Count and percentage of duplicate rows
print(analytics.duplicateAnalysis())

# Full dataset profile combining all of the above
print(analytics.profile())

Method	Description
summary()	Returns shape, column names, dtypes, and null counts
columnStats()	Returns descriptive statistics for each column
missingValueAnalysis()	Returns missing value counts and percentages per column
duplicateAnalysis()	Returns the number and percentage of duplicate rows
profile()	Returns a comprehensive profile of the entire dataset

---

Example Pipeline

The following example shows a complete end-to-end workflow — loading raw data, cleaning it, validating it, and profiling the result.

from data_manager.storage.csv_backend import CSVStorage
from data_manager.jobs.data_engineer import DataEngineer
from data_manager.jobs.data_validator import DataValidator
from data_manager.jobs.data_analytics import DataAnalytics

# --- Step 1: Load ---
storage = CSVStorage()
storage.load("raw_data.csv")

# --- Step 2: Engineer ---
engineer = DataEngineer(storage)
engineer.removeDuplicates()
engineer.removeNull()

# --- Step 3: Validate ---
validator = DataValidator(storage)
validator.validateSchema({"name": "object", "age": "int64"})
validator.checkNullability(["name"])

# --- Step 4: Analyse ---
analytics = DataAnalytics(storage)
print(analytics.profile())

# --- Step 5: Save ---
storage.write("cleaned_data.csv")
