Returns the privacy spent (𝜀) associated with all the information disclosed so far by the LeapYear platform to the current user working with this table. The value is represented as a percentage of the privacy limit (0, 10, 20, …100) set by the administrator. The value can exceed 100% if the admin forcibly lowers the privacy limit below the current user’s privacy spent. No queries can be run on a table where the privacy spent is at or above 100%.

If the table is public, returns None instead.

Returns

Privacy exposure, expressed as a percentage of the limit.

Return type

Examples

  1. Review the current level of privacy spent.

>>> from leapyear.admin import Database, Table
>>> db = Database('db')
>>> t = Table('table', database=db)
>>> print(t.privacy_spent)
50
get_user_privacy_spent(user)

Show the privacy spent for a user on this table.

Returns the privacy spent (𝜀), as a float, associated with all the information disclosed so far by the LeapYear platform to a user working with this table, and the privacy limit as an (𝜀, 𝛿) pair in a PrivacyLimit object.

Returns None instead, if the table is public.

This method is only available to authorized administrators, or to a user attempting to retrieve their own privacy spent.

set_user_privacy_limit(user, privacy_limit)

Allow the administrator to set the privacy limit for a user on this table.

Sets the privacy limit as a (𝜀, 𝛿) pair in a PrivacyLimit object for the user, on this table, that is considered acceptable by the administrator. If this method is not called, the user uses the privacy limit from the table.

If this is called with a public table, nothing happens.

This method is only available to authorized users with system admin privileges.

... )
>>> table.create()

Changing values in a ColumnDefinition has no effect after a table is created. See the TableColumn documentation for functions to update column attributes after creating a table.

View class

class leapyear.admin.View(name, *, database, dataset, num_partitions=1, partitioning_columns=[], sort_within_partitions_by_columns=[], nominal_partitioning_columns=[], description=None, **kwargs)

View object.

A view is a dataset that can be persisted on disk (materialized), across restarts of the LeapYear application. Analysts referencing a materialized view will be using the dataset that is on disk, instead of re-calculating any transformations defined on the dataset.

A guide on how to use views can be found here.

Analysts should load views either from Database.views or using the database.view notation; for example:

>>> db = client.databases['db1']
>>> view1 = db.views['view1']
>>> ds1 = DataSet.from_view(view1)
>>> ds2 = DataSet.from_view('db1.view1')
Parameters
  • name (str) – The view’s name. Views must have unique names, including de-materialized views. View names cannot include any of these characters: ,;{}()=", or newlines (\n), or tabs (\t)

  • database (Union[str, Database]) – The database that the view belongs to. This should be the database that the tables referenced in the DataSet belong to.

  • dataset (DataSet) – The DataSet that will be stored as a view.

  • num_partitions – The number of partitions that the view will be split into. This will only be used if partitioning_columns is also set.

  • partitioning_columns – The columns by which to bucket (cluster) the view into partitions. This must be used with num_partitions. The view will have num_partitions number of partitions, and records with the same values for the partitioning_columns will be in the same partition.

  • sort_within_partitions_by_columns – The columns used to sort rows within each partition.

  • nominal_partitioning_columns – The columns by which to partition the view. This should be used by itself, without any other partition parameters.

  • description (Optional[str]) – Description of the view.
