Execution

Materializing Assets

dagster.materialize [source]

Executes a single-threaded, in-process run which materializes provided assets.

By default, will materialize assets to the local filesystem.

Parameters:

• assets (Sequence[Union[AssetsDefinition, AssetSpec, SourceAsset]]) –

  The assets to materialize.

  Unless you’re using deps or non_argument_deps, you must also include all assets that are upstream of the assets that you want to materialize. This is because those upstream asset definitions have information that is needed to load their contents while materializing the downstream assets.

• resources (Optional[Mapping[str, object]]) – The resources needed for execution. Can provide resource instances directly, or resource definitions. Note that if provided resources conflict with resources directly on assets, an error will be thrown.

• run_config (Optional[Any]) – The run config to use for the run that materializes the assets.

• partition_key – (Optional[str]) The string partition key that specifies the run config to execute. Can only be used to select run config for assets with partitioned config.

• tags (Optional[Mapping[str, str]]) – Tags for the run.

• selection (Optional[Union[str, Sequence[str], Sequence[AssetKey], Sequence[Union[AssetsDefinition, SourceAsset]], AssetSelection]]) –

  A sub-selection of assets to materialize.

  If not provided, then all assets will be materialized.

Returns: The result of the execution.Return type: ExecuteInProcessResult Examples:

@asset
def asset1():
    ...

@asset
def asset2(asset1):
    ...

# executes a run that materializes asset1 and then asset2
materialize([asset1, asset2])

# executes a run that materializes just asset2, loading its input from asset1
materialize([asset1, asset2], selection=[asset2])

dagster.materialize_to_memory [source]

Executes a single-threaded, in-process run which materializes provided assets in memory.

Will explicitly use mem_io_manager() for all required io manager keys. If any io managers are directly provided using the resources argument, a DagsterInvariantViolationError will be thrown.

Parameters:

• assets (Sequence[Union[AssetsDefinition, AssetSpec, SourceAsset]]) – The assets to materialize. Can also provide SourceAsset objects to fill dependencies for asset defs.

• run_config (Optional[Any]) – The run config to use for the run that materializes the assets.

• resources (Optional[Mapping[str, object]]) – The resources needed for execution. Can provide resource instances directly, or resource definitions. If provided resources conflict with resources directly on assets, an error will be thrown.

• partition_key – (Optional[str]) The string partition key that specifies the run config to execute. Can only be used to select run config for assets with partitioned config.

• tags (Optional[Mapping[str, str]]) – Tags for the run.

• selection (Optional[Union[str, Sequence[str], Sequence[AssetKey], Sequence[Union[AssetsDefinition, SourceAsset]], AssetSelection]]) –

  A sub-selection of assets to materialize.

  If not provided, then all assets will be materialized.

Returns: The result of the execution.Return type: ExecuteInProcessResult Examples:

@asset
def asset1():
    ...

@asset
def asset2(asset1):
    ...

# executes a run that materializes asset1 and then asset2
materialize([asset1, asset2])

# executes a run that materializes just asset1
materialize([asset1, asset2], selection=[asset1])

Executing Jobs

class dagster.JobDefinition [source]

Defines a Dagster job.

execute_in_process [source]

Execute the Job in-process, gathering results in-memory.

The executor_def on the Job will be ignored, and replaced with the in-process executor. If using the default io_manager, it will switch from filesystem to in-memory.

Parameters:

• run_config (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – The configuration for the run
• instance (Optional[DagsterInstance]) – The instance to execute against, an ephemeral one will be used if none provided.
• partition_key (Optional[str]) – The string partition key that specifies the run config to execute. Can only be used to select run config for jobs with partitioned config.
• raise_on_error (Optional[bool]) – Whether or not to raise exceptions when they occur. Defaults to True.
• op_selection (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – A list of op selection queries (including single op names) to execute. For example: * ['some_op']: selects some_op itself. * ['*some_op']: select some_op and all its ancestors (upstream dependencies). * ['*some_op+++']: select some_op, all its ancestors, and its descendants (downstream dependencies) within 3 levels down. * ['*some_op', 'other_op_a', 'other_op_b+']: select some_op and all its ancestors, other_op_a itself, and other_op_b and its direct child ops.
• input_values (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – A dictionary that maps python objects to the top-level inputs of the job. Input values provided here will override input values that have been provided to the job directly.
• resources (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – The resources needed if any are required. Can provide resource instances directly, or resource definitions.

Returns: ExecuteInProcessResult

run_request_for_partition [source]

deprecated

This API will be removed in version 2.0.0. Directly instantiate RunRequest(partition_key=...) instead..

Creates a RunRequest object for a run that processes the given partition.

Parameters:

• partition_key – The key of the partition to request a run for.
• run_key (Optional[str]) – A string key to identify this launched run. For sensors, ensures that only one run is created per run key across all sensor evaluations. For schedules, ensures that one run is created per tick, across failure recoveries. Passing in a None value means that a run will always be launched per evaluation.
• tags (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – A dictionary of tags (string key-value pairs) to attach to the launched run.
• (Optional[Mapping[str (run_config) – Configuration for the run. If the job has a PartitionedConfig, this value will override replace the config provided by it.
• Any]] – Configuration for the run. If the job has a PartitionedConfig, this value will override replace the config provided by it.
• current_time (Optional[datetime]) – Used to determine which time-partitions exist. Defaults to now.
• dynamic_partitions_store (Optional[DynamicPartitionsStore]) – The DynamicPartitionsStore object that is responsible for fetching dynamic partitions. Required when the partitions definition is a DynamicPartitionsDefinition with a name defined. Users can pass the DagsterInstance fetched via context.instance to this argument.

Returns: an object that requests a run to process the given partition.Return type: RunRequest

with_hooks [source]

Apply a set of hooks to all op instances within the job.

with_top_level_resources [source]

Apply a set of resources to all op instances within the job.

property config_mapping [source]

The config mapping for the job, if it has one.

A config mapping defines a way to map a top-level config schema to run config for the job.

property executor_def [source]

Returns the default ExecutorDefinition for the job.

If the user has not specified an executor definition, then this will default to the multi_or_in_process_executor(). If a default is specified on the Definitions object the job was provided to, then that will be used instead.

property has_specified_executor [source]

Returns True if this job has explicitly specified an executor, and False if the executor was inherited through defaults or the Definitions object the job was provided to.

property has_specified_loggers [source]

Returns true if the job explicitly set loggers, and False if loggers were inherited through defaults or the Definitions object the job was provided to.

property loggers [source]

Returns the set of LoggerDefinition objects specified on the job.

If the user has not specified a mapping of LoggerDefinition objects, then this will default to the colored_console_logger() under the key console. If a default is specified on the Definitions object the job was provided to, then that will be used instead.

property partitioned_config [source]

The partitioned config for the job, if it has one.

A partitioned config defines a way to map partition keys to run config for the job.

property partitions_def [source]

Returns the PartitionsDefinition for the job, if it has one.

A partitions definition defines the set of partition keys the job operates on.

property resource_defs [source]

Returns the set of ResourceDefinition objects specified on the job.

This may not be the complete set of resources required by the job, since those can also be provided on the Definitions object the job may be provided to.

dagster.execute_job [source]

Execute a job synchronously.

This API represents dagster’s python entrypoint for out-of-process execution. For most testing purposes, execute_in_process() will be more suitable, but when wanting to run execution using an out-of-process executor (such as dagster. multiprocess_executor), then execute_job is suitable.

execute_job expects a persistent DagsterInstance for execution, meaning the $DAGSTER_HOME environment variable must be set. It also expects a reconstructable pointer to a JobDefinition so that it can be reconstructed in separate processes. This can be done by wrapping the JobDefinition in a call to dagster. reconstructable().

from dagster import DagsterInstance, execute_job, job, reconstructable

@job
def the_job():
    ...

instance = DagsterInstance.get()
result = execute_job(reconstructable(the_job), instance=instance)
assert result.success

If using the to_job() method to construct the JobDefinition, then the invocation must be wrapped in a module-scope function, which can be passed to reconstructable.

from dagster import graph, reconstructable

@graph
def the_graph():
    ...

def define_job():
    return the_graph.to_job(...)

result = execute_job(reconstructable(define_job), ...)

Since execute_job is potentially executing outside of the current process, output objects need to be retrieved by use of the provided job’s io managers. Output objects can be retrieved by opening the result of execute_job as a context manager.

from dagster import execute_job

with execute_job(...) as result:
    output_obj = result.output_for_node("some_op")

execute_job can also be used to reexecute a run, by providing a ReexecutionOptions object.

from dagster import ReexecutionOptions, execute_job

instance = DagsterInstance.get()

options = ReexecutionOptions.from_failure(run_id=failed_run_id, instance)
execute_job(reconstructable(job), instance, reexecution_options=options)

Parameters:

• job (ReconstructableJob) – A reconstructable pointer to a JobDefinition.

• instance (DagsterInstance) – The instance to execute against.

• run_config (Optional[dict]) – The configuration that parametrizes this run, as a dict.

• tags (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Arbitrary key-value pairs that will be added to run logs.

• raise_on_error (Optional[bool]) – Whether or not to raise exceptions when they occur. Defaults to False.

• op_selection (Optional[List[str]]) –

  A list of op selection queries (including single op names) to execute. For example:

  • ['some_op']: selects some_op itself.
  • ['*some_op']: select some_op and all its ancestors (upstream dependencies).
  • ['*some_op+++']: select some_op, all its ancestors, and its descendants (downstream dependencies) within 3 levels down.
  • ['*some_op', 'other_op_a', 'other_op_b+']: select some_op and all its ancestors, other_op_a itself, and other_op_b and its direct child ops.

• reexecution_options (Optional[ReexecutionOptions]) – Reexecution options to provide to the run, if this run is intended to be a reexecution of a previous run. Cannot be used in tandem with the op_selection argument.

Returns: The result of job execution.Return type: JobExecutionResult

class dagster.ReexecutionOptions [source]

Reexecution options for python-based execution in Dagster.

Parameters:

• parent_run_id (str) – The run_id of the run to reexecute.

• step_selection (Sequence[str]) –

  The list of step selections to reexecute. Must be a subset or match of the set of steps executed in the original run. For example:

  • ['some_op']: selects some_op itself.
  • ['*some_op']: select some_op and all its ancestors (upstream dependencies).
  • ['*some_op+++']: select some_op, all its ancestors, and its descendants (downstream dependencies) within 3 levels down.
  • ['*some_op', 'other_op_a', 'other_op_b+']: select some_op and all its ancestors, other_op_a itself, and other_op_b and its direct child ops.

dagster.instance_for_test [source]

Creates a persistent DagsterInstance available within a context manager.

When a context manager is opened, if no temp_dir parameter is set, a new temporary directory will be created for the duration of the context manager’s opening. If the set_dagster_home parameter is set to True (True by default), the $DAGSTER_HOME environment variable will be overridden to be this directory (or the directory passed in by temp_dir) for the duration of the context manager being open.

Parameters:

• overrides (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – Config to provide to instance (config format follows that typically found in an instance.yaml file).
• set_dagster_home (Optional[bool]) – If set to True, the $DAGSTER_HOME environment variable will be overridden to be the directory used by this instance for the duration that the context manager is open. Upon the context manager closing, the $DAGSTER_HOME variable will be re-set to the original value. (Defaults to True).
• temp_dir (Optional[str]) – The directory to use for storing local artifacts produced by the instance. If not set, a temporary directory will be created for the duration of the context manager being open, and all artifacts will be torn down afterward.

Executing Graphs

class dagster.GraphDefinition [source]

Defines a Dagster op graph.

An op graph is made up of

• Nodes, which can either be an op (the functional unit of computation), or another graph.
• Dependencies, which determine how the values produced by nodes as outputs flow from one node to another. This tells Dagster how to arrange nodes into a directed, acyclic graph (DAG) of compute.

End users should prefer the @graph decorator. GraphDefinition is generally intended to be used by framework authors or for programatically generated graphs.

Parameters:

• name (str) – The name of the graph. Must be unique within any GraphDefinition or JobDefinition containing the graph.
• description (Optional[str]) – A human-readable description of the job.
• node_defs (Optional[Sequence[NodeDefinition]]) – The set of ops / graphs used in this graph.
• dependencies (Optional[Dict[Union[str, NodeInvocation], Dict[str, DependencyDefinition]]]) – A structure that declares the dependencies of each op’s inputs on the outputs of other ops in the graph. Keys of the top level dict are either the string names of ops in the graph or, in the case of aliased ops, NodeInvocations. Values of the top level dict are themselves dicts, which map input names belonging to the op or aliased op to DependencyDefinitions.
• input_mappings (Optional[Sequence[InputMapping]]) – Defines the inputs to the nested graph, and how they map to the inputs of its constituent ops.
• output_mappings (Optional[Sequence[OutputMapping]]) – Defines the outputs of the nested graph, and how they map from the outputs of its constituent ops.
• config (Optional[ConfigMapping]) – Defines the config of the graph, and how its schema maps to the config of its constituent ops.
• tags (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Arbitrary metadata for any execution of the graph. Values that are not strings will be json encoded and must meet the criteria that json.loads(json.dumps(value)) == value. These tag values may be overwritten by tag values provided at invocation time.
• composition_fn (Optional[Callable]) – The function that defines this graph. Used to generate code references for this graph.

Examples:

@op
def return_one():
    return 1

@op
def add_one(num):
    return num + 1

graph_def = GraphDefinition(
    name='basic',
    node_defs=[return_one, add_one],
    dependencies={'add_one': {'num': DependencyDefinition('return_one')}},
)

alias [source]

Aliases the graph with a new name.

Can only be used in the context of a @graph, @job, or @asset_graph decorated function.

Examples:

@job

execute_in_process [source]

Execute this graph in-process, collecting results in-memory.

Parameters:

• run_config (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – Run config to provide to execution. The configuration for the underlying graph should exist under the “ops” key.
• instance (Optional[DagsterInstance]) – The instance to execute against, an ephemeral one will be used if none provided.
• resources (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – The resources needed if any are required. Can provide resource instances directly, or resource definitions.
• raise_on_error (Optional[bool]) – Whether or not to raise exceptions when they occur. Defaults to True.

Parameters:

• name (Optional[str]) – The name for the Job. Defaults to the name of the this graph.

• resource_defs (Optional[Mapping [str, object]]) – Resources that are required by this graph for execution. If not defined, io_manager will default to filesystem.

• config –

  Describes how the job is parameterized at runtime.

  If no value is provided, then the schema for the job’s run config is a standard format based on its ops and resources.

  If a dictionary is provided, then it must conform to the standard config schema, and it will be used as the job’s run config for the job whenever the job is executed. The values provided will be viewable and editable in the Dagster UI, so be careful with secrets.

  If a ConfigMapping object is provided, then the schema for the job’s run config is determined by the config mapping, and the ConfigMapping, which should return configuration in the standard format to configure the job.

• tags (Optional[Mapping[str, object]]) – A set of key-value tags that annotate the job and can be used for searching and filtering in the UI. Values that are not already strings will be serialized as JSON. If run_tags is not set, then the content of tags will also be automatically appended to the tags of any runs of this job.

• run_tags (Optional[Mapping[str, object]]) – A set of key-value tags that will be automatically attached to runs launched by this job. Values that are not already strings will be serialized as JSON. These tag values may be overwritten by tag values provided at invocation time. If run_tags is set, then tags are not automatically appended to the tags of any runs of this job.

• metadata (Optional[Mapping[str, RawMetadataValue]]) – Arbitrary information that will be attached to the JobDefinition and be viewable in the Dagster UI. Keys must be strings, and values must be python primitive types or one of the provided MetadataValue types

• executor_def (Optional[ExecutorDefinition]) – How this Job will be executed. Defaults to multi_or_in_process_executor, which can be switched between multi-process and in-process modes of execution. The default mode of execution is multi-process.

• op_retry_policy (Optional[RetryPolicy]) – The default retry policy for all ops in this job. Only used if retry policy is not defined on the op definition or op invocation.

• partitions_def (Optional[PartitionsDefinition]) – Defines a discrete set of partition keys that can parameterize the job. If this argument is supplied, the config argument can’t also be supplied.

• asset_layer (Optional[AssetLayer]) – Top level information about the assets this job will produce. Generally should not be set manually.

• input_values (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – A dictionary that maps python objects to the top-level inputs of a job.

Returns: JobDefinition

Reconstructable jobs

class dagster.reconstructable [source]

Create a ReconstructableJob from a function that returns a JobDefinition/JobDefinition, or a function decorated with @job.

When your job must cross process boundaries, e.g., for execution on multiple nodes or in different systems (like dagstermill), Dagster must know how to reconstruct the job on the other side of the process boundary.

Passing a job created with ~dagster.GraphDefinition.to_job to reconstructable(), requires you to wrap that job’s definition in a module-scoped function, and pass that function instead:

from dagster import graph, reconstructable

@graph
def my_graph():
    ...

def define_my_job():
    return my_graph.to_job()

reconstructable(define_my_job)

This function implements a very conservative strategy for reconstruction, so that its behavior is easy to predict, but as a consequence it is not able to reconstruct certain kinds of jobs or jobs, such as those defined by lambdas, in nested scopes (e.g., dynamically within a method call), or in interactive environments such as the Python REPL or Jupyter notebooks.

If you need to reconstruct objects constructed in these ways, you should use build_reconstructable_job() instead, which allows you to specify your own reconstruction strategy.

Examples:

from dagster import job, reconstructable

@job
def foo_job():
    ...

reconstructable_foo_job = reconstructable(foo_job)


@graph
def foo():
    ...

def make_bar_job():
    return foo.to_job()

reconstructable_bar_job = reconstructable(make_bar_job)

Executors

dagster.multi_or_in_process_executor ExecutorDefinition [source]

The default executor for a job.

This is the executor available by default on a JobDefinition that does not provide custom executors. This executor has a multiprocessing-enabled mode, and a single-process mode. By default, multiprocessing mode is enabled. Switching between multiprocess mode and in-process mode can be achieved via config.

execution:
  config:
    multiprocess:


execution:
  config:
    in_process:

When using the multiprocess mode, max_concurrent and retries can also be configured.

execution:
  config:
    multiprocess:
      max_concurrent: 4
      retries:
        enabled:

The max_concurrent arg is optional and tells the execution engine how many processes may run concurrently. By default, or if you set max_concurrent to be 0, this is the return value of python:multiprocessing.cpu_count().

When using the in_process mode, then only retries can be configured.

Execution priority can be configured using the dagster/priority tag via op metadata, where the higher the number the higher the priority. 0 is the default and both positive and negative numbers can be used.

dagster.in_process_executor ExecutorDefinition [source]

The in-process executor executes all steps in a single process.

To select it, include the following top-level fragment in config:

execution:
  in_process:

Execution priority can be configured using the dagster/priority tag via op metadata, where the higher the number the higher the priority. 0 is the default and both positive and negative numbers can be used.

dagster.multiprocess_executor ExecutorDefinition [source]

The multiprocess executor executes each step in an individual process.

Any job that does not specify custom executors will use the multiprocess_executor by default. To configure the multiprocess executor, include a fragment such as the following in your run config:

execution:
  config:
    multiprocess:
      max_concurrent: 4

The max_concurrent arg is optional and tells the execution engine how many processes may run concurrently. By default, or if you set max_concurrent to be None or 0, this is the return value of python:multiprocessing.cpu_count().

Execution priority can be configured using the dagster/priority tag via op metadata, where the higher the number the higher the priority. 0 is the default and both positive and negative numbers can be used.

Contexts

class dagster.AssetExecutionContext [source]

add_asset_metadata [source]

Add metadata to an asset materialization event. This metadata will be available in the Dagster UI.

Parameters:

• metadata (Mapping[str, Any]) – The metadata to add to the asset materialization event.
• asset_key (Optional[CoercibleToAssetKey]) – The asset key to add metadata to. Does not need to be provided if only one asset is currently being materialized.
• partition_key (Optional[str]) – The partition key to add metadata to, if applicable. Should not be provided on non-partitioned assets. If not provided on a partitioned asset, the metadata will be added to all partitions of the asset currently being materialized.

Examples:

Adding metadata to the asset materialization event for a single asset:

import dagster as dg

@dg.asset
def my_asset(context):
    # Add metadata
    context.add_asset_metadata({"key": "value"})

Adding metadata to the asset materialization event for a particular partition of a partitioned asset:

import dagster as dg

@dg.asset(partitions_def=dg.StaticPartitionsDefinition(["a", "b"]))
def my_asset(context):
    # Adds metadata to all partitions currently being materialized, since no
    # partition is specified.
    context.add_asset_metadata({"key": "value"})

    for partition_key in context.partition_keys:
        # Add metadata only to the event for partition "a"
        if partition_key == "a":
            context.add_asset_metadata({"key": "value"}, partition_key=partition_key)

Adding metadata to the asset materialization event for a particular asset in a multi-asset.

import dagster as dg

@dg.multi_asset(specs=[dg.AssetSpec("asset1"), dg.AssetSpec("asset2")])
def my_multi_asset(context):
    # Add metadata to the materialization event for "asset1"
    context.add_asset_metadata({"key": "value"}, asset_key="asset1")

    # THIS line will fail since asset key is not specified:
    context.add_asset_metadata({"key": "value"})

add_output_metadata [source]

Add metadata to one of the outputs of an op.

This can be invoked multiple times per output in the body of an op. If the same key is passed multiple times, the value associated with the last call will be used.

Parameters:

• metadata (Mapping[str, Any]) – The metadata to attach to the output
• output_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the output to attach metadata to. If there is only one output on the op, then this argument does not need to be provided. The metadata will automatically be attached to the only output.
• mapping_key (Optional[str]) – The mapping key of the output to attach metadata to. If the output is not dynamic, this argument does not need to be provided.

Examples:

from dagster import Out, op
from typing import Tuple

@op
def add_metadata(context):
    context.add_output_metadata({"foo", "bar"})
    return 5 # Since the default output is called "result", metadata will be attached to the output "result".

@op(out={"a": Out(), "b": Out()})
def add_metadata_two_outputs(context) -> Tuple[str, int]:
    context.add_output_metadata({"foo": "bar"}, output_name="b")
    context.add_output_metadata({"baz": "bat"}, output_name="a")

    return ("dog", 5)

asset_partitions_time_window_for_output [source]

deprecated

This API will be removed in version 2.0. Use partition_time_window instead..

The time window for the partitions of the output asset.

If you want to write your asset to support running a backfill of several partitions in a single run, you can use asset_partitions_time_window_for_output to get the TimeWindow of all of the partitions being materialized by the backfill.

Raises an error if either of the following are true:

• The output asset has no partitioning.
• The output asset is not partitioned with a TimeWindowPartitionsDefinition or a MultiPartitionsDefinition with one time-partitioned dimension.

Parameters: output_name (str) – For assets defined with the @asset decorator, the name of the output will be automatically provided. For assets defined with @multi_asset, output_name should be the op output associated with the asset key (as determined by AssetOut) to get the time window for. Examples:

partitions_def = DailyPartitionsDefinition("2023-08-20")
