post_process

This processor encapsulates the post_process phase of ts-transforms.

To use this processor, it is required to use the selection processor as this works by using the metadata that is set in the selection processor. It also requires a file containing all transform rules that is will be preforming and any necessary plugins that those rules require to operate.

The full functionality of ts-transforms is encapsulated in the transform processor.

You would only want to use this processor instead of the fully functional transform processor if you wanted to inject a custom operation between each phase, or to capture the analytics of the records between each phase.

Usage

Example of the rules and plugins to run the post_process-process phase

Below contains an example of the transform rules, plugins and configurations to perform the post_process phase.

Example Job

{
    "name" : "testing",
    "workers" : 1,
    "slicers" : 1,
    "lifecycle" : "once",
    "assets" : [
        "standard"
    ],
    "operations" : [
        {
            "_op": "test-reader"
        },
        {
            "_op": "selection",
            "plugins": ["someAssetId:plugins"],
            "rules": ["someAssetId:transformRules.txt"],
            "type_config": {
                "some": "string",
                "field": "string",
                "field2": "string",
                "date": "date",
                "location": "geo-point"
            },
            "variables": {
                "foo": "data"
            }
        },
        {
            "_op": "post_process",
            "plugins": ["someAssetId:plugins"],
            "rules": ["someAssetId:transformRules.txt"],
            "type_config":  {
                "some": "string",
                "field": "string",
                "field2": "string",
                "date": "date",
                "location": "geo-point"
            },
            "variables": {
                "foo": "data"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Example rules located at someAssetId:transformRules.txt

{ "selector": "some: $foo", "source_field": "field", "target_field": "interm1", "tag": "someTag", "output": false }
{ "selector": "some: $foo", "source_field": "field2", "target_field": "interm2", "tag": "someTag", "output": false }
{ "follow": "someTag", "post_process": "join", "target_field": "final", "delimiter": " " }

{ "source_field": "otherField", "target_field": "lastField", "other_match_required": true }
{ "source_field": "_key", "target_field": "id", "other_match_required": true, "tag": "numberMe" }
{ "follow": "numberMe", "post_process": "number" }

{ "selector": "location: geoBox( top_left: '33.906320, -112.758421' bottom_right: '32.813646,-111.058902')", "source_field": "location", "target_field": "loc" }

{ "selector": "date:[2019-04-16T20:14:44.304Z TO *] AND bytes:>=1000000", "source_field": "date", "target_field": "last_seen", "tag": "tagOp" }
{ "follow": "tagOp", "post_process": "tag" }

Example plugin used by rules above located at someAssetId:plugins

import { DataEntity } from '@terascope/job-components';

class Tag {
    static cardinality = 'one-to-one';

    constructor(operationConfig) {
        this.operationConfig = operationConfig;
    }

    run(doc: DataEntity) {
        doc.wasTagged = true;
        return doc;
    }
}

export default class Plugin {
    init() {
        return {
            tag: Tag,
        };
    }
}

Example of the data and the expected results of the post_process phase, the metadata is what is set by the selection processor

const data = [
    new DataEntity({ interm1: 'hello', interm2: 'world' }, { selectors: ['some: $foo'] }),
    new DataEntity({ id: '1' }, { selectors: ['*'] }),
    new DataEntity({}, { selectors: ['date:[2019-04-16T20:14:44.304Z TO *] AND bytes:>=1000000'] }),
];

const results = await processor.run(data);

results === [
   { interm1: 'hello', interm2: 'world', final: 'hello world' }
   { id: 1 },
   { wasTagged: true }
];
