Introduced a new command-line argument, --no-prescan, allowing users to bypass the per-file metadata scan during the loading process. This enhancement is particularly useful for large folders where the pre-scan may be time-consuming. The progress bar will still display rows loaded, rate, and elapsed time, but without an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for completion. Updated the main function to handle this new option and adjusted the progress tracking accordingly.
Updated the main function to replace sequential file processing with a threaded approach using ThreadPoolExecutor. This change enhances the efficiency of reading row counts from SAS files, particularly for large datasets, by allowing concurrent I/O operations. Added progress tracking with tqdm for better user feedback during the pre-scan phase.
Refactored the load_cluster function in load_folder.py to support parallel file loading using ProcessPoolExecutor, improving performance during the append phase. Added workers parameter for controlling parallelism and integrated a progress_queue for real-time progress updates. Introduced read_sas_metadata function in load_sas.py to efficiently read metadata from SAS files, optimizing the pre-scan process for global progress tracking.
Updated the pyarrow version in requirements.txt to improve compatibility. Enhanced the _infer_cluster_schema and _stream_file functions in load_folder.py and load_sas.py to return total row counts for better progress tracking during data streaming. Integrated tqdm for visual feedback on row processing, improving user experience during large data loads.
Introduce generate_sample_folder.py to create a test folder with clustered SAS XPORT files, including configurations for schema compatibility checks. Implement load_folder.py to facilitate loading entire directories of SAS files into Postgres, supporting explicit and auto-detect clustering. Update sample_folder_config.yaml for usage examples and configuration structure. Enhance load_sas.py with a public schema compatibility check function for orchestrators.
