---

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install mock-spark
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from mock_spark import MockSparkSession, F

# Create session
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp")

# Your PySpark code works as-is
data = [{"name": "Alice", "age": 25}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 30}]
df = spark.createDataFrame(data)

# All operations work
result = df.filter(F.col("age") > 25).select("name").collect()
print(result)
# Output: [Row(name=Bob)]

# Show the DataFrame
df.show()
# Output:
# MockDataFrame[2 rows, 2 columns]
# age name 
# 25    Alice  
# 30    Bob
```

### Testing Example

```python
import pytest
from mock_spark import MockSparkSession, F

def test_data_pipeline():
    """Test PySpark logic without Spark cluster."""
    spark = MockSparkSession("TestApp")
    
    # Test data
    data = [{"score": 95}, {"score": 87}, {"score": 92}]
    df = spark.createDataFrame(data)
    
    # Business logic
    high_scores = df.filter(F.col("score") > 90)
    
    # Assertions
    assert high_scores.count() == 2
    assert high_scores.agg(F.avg("score")).collect()[0][0] == 93.5
    
    # Always clean up
    spark.stop()

def test_large_dataset():
    """Test with larger dataset requiring more memory."""
    spark = MockSparkSession(
        "LargeTest",
        max_memory="4GB",
        allow_disk_spillover=True
    )
    
    # Process large dataset
    data = [{"id": i, "value": i * 10} for i in range(100000)]
    df = spark.createDataFrame(data)
    
    result = df.filter(F.col("id") > 50000).count()
    assert result < 50000
    
    spark.stop()
```

# Output:
# MockDataFrame[2 rows, 2 columns]
# name  salary
# Alice   60000   
# Bob     40000
```

### Delta Lake Format
Full Delta Lake table format support for advanced workflows:

```python
# Write as Delta table
df.write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("catalog.users")

# Time travel - query historical versions
v0_data = spark.read.format("delta").option("versionAsOf", 0).table("catalog.users")
v1_data = spark.read.format("delta").option("versionAsOf", 1).table("catalog.users")

# Schema evolution - add columns automatically
new_df.write.format("delta") \
    .mode("append") \
    .option("mergeSchema", "true") \
    .saveAsTable("catalog.users")

# MERGE operations for upserts
spark.sql("""
    MERGE INTO catalog.users AS target
    USING updates AS source
    ON target.id = source.id
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET *
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT *
""")

# View version history
history = spark.sql("DESCRIBE HISTORY catalog.users")
history.show()
# Output:
# MockDataFrame[1 rows, 3 columns]
# operation timestamp            version
# WRITE       2024-01-15 10:30:00   0
```

### Lazy Evaluation
Mock Spark mirrors PySpark's lazy execution model:

```python
# Transformations are queued (not executed)
result = df.filter(F.col("age") > 25).select("name")  

# Actions trigger execution
rows = result.collect()  # ← Execution happens here
count = result.count()   # ← Or here
```

**Control evaluation mode:**
```python
# Lazy (default, recommended)
spark = MockSparkSession("App", enable_lazy_evaluation=True)

# Eager (for legacy tests)
spark = MockSparkSession("App", enable_lazy_evaluation=False)
```

---

## Advanced Features

### Storage Backends
- **Memory** (default) - Fast, ephemeral
- **DuckDB** - In-memory SQL analytics with configurable memory limits
- **File System** - Persistent storage

### Configurable Memory & Isolation

Control memory usage and test isolation:

```python
# Default: 1GB memory limit, no disk spillover (best for tests)
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp")

# Custom memory limit
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp", max_memory="4GB")

# Allow disk spillover for large datasets (with test isolation)
spark = MockSparkSession(
    "MyApp",
    max_memory="8GB",
    allow_disk_spillover=True  # Uses unique temp directory per session
)
```

**Key Features:**
- **Memory Limits**: Set per-session memory limits to prevent resource exhaustion
- **Test Isolation**: Each session gets unique temp directories when spillover is enabled
- **Default Behavior**: Disk spillover disabled by default for fast, isolated tests
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Temp directories automatically cleaned up when session stops

## Previous Releases

### Version 1.4.0

### New Features

#### 🔺 Delta Lake Support
Mock Spark now includes basic Delta Lake API compatibility for testing Delta workflows:

```python
from mock_spark import MockSparkSession, DeltaTable

spark = MockSparkSession("app")
df = spark.createDataFrame([{"id": 1, "value": "test"}])

# Save as table
df.write.saveAsTable("my_table")

# Access as Delta table
delta_table = DeltaTable.forName(spark, "my_table")
delta_df = delta_table.toDF()

# Mock Delta operations (API compatible, no-op execution)
delta_table.delete("id < 10")
delta_table.merge(source_df, "target.id = source.id").whenMatchedUpdate({"value": "new"}).execute()
delta_table.vacuum()
history_df = delta_table.history()
```

**Features:**
- ✅ `DeltaTable.forName()` and `DeltaTable.forPath()` - Load Delta tables
- ✅ `toDF()` - Convert to DataFrame
- ✅ `delete()`, `update()`, `merge()` - Mock Delta operations (API compatible)
- ✅ `vacuum()`, `history()` - Mock maintenance operations
- ✅ `DeltaMergeBuilder` - Fluent API for merge operations

**Note:** Mock operations are no-ops for API compatibility. For real Delta features (time travel, ACID), use actual PySpark + delta-spark.

#### 🗄️ SQL DDL Enhancements
Enhanced SQL support for schema/database management:

```python
# CREATE DATABASE/SCHEMA with IF NOT EXISTS
spark.sql("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS analytics")
spark.sql("CREATE SCHEMA bronze")

# DROP DATABASE/SCHEMA with IF EXISTS
spark.sql("DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS old_schema")

# Catalog integration - SQL and API work together
dbs = spark.catalog.listDatabases()
spark.catalog.dropDatabase("temp_db")
```

**Features:**
- ✅ `CREATE DATABASE/SCHEMA` - SQL parser recognizes both keywords
- ✅ `DROP DATABASE/SCHEMA` - With IF EXISTS support
- ✅ `catalog.dropDatabase()` - New catalog API method
- ✅ Catalog Integration - SQL DDL updates catalog automatically
- ✅ Case-insensitive keywords - `create`, `CREATE`, `CrEaTe` all work

### Test Infrastructure Improvements
- ⚡ **Parallel Testing** - Run 569 tests in parallel with pytest-xdist (8 cores)
- ☕ **Java 11 Support** - Full Java 11 compatibility with automated configuration
- 🔒 **Enhanced Test Isolation** - Delta Lake tests run serially with proper session cleanup
- 🧪 **569 Total Tests** - Comprehensive test coverage with zero failures (119 DDL tests in spark-ddl-parser)
- 🎯 **Zero Test Failures** - All tests pass with parallel execution
- ✅ **100% Type Coverage** - Full mypy type checking across all 97 source files
- 🧹 **Zero Linting Errors** - All code passes ruff linting checks

### Developer Experience
- 🚀 **Faster CI/CD** - Tests complete in ~90 seconds with parallel execution
- 🔧 **Automated Setup** - `setup_spark_env.sh` configures Java 11 and dependencies
- 📝 **Black Formatting** - Consistent code style across entire codebase
- 🏷️ **Test Markers** - `@pytest.mark.delta` for proper test categorization
- 🔍 **Code Quality** - Zero linting errors with ruff, 100% mypy type coverage

## What's New in 1.3.0

### Major Improvements
- 🔧 **Configurable Memory** - Set custom memory limits per session
- 🔒 **Test Isolation** - Each session gets unique temp directories
- 🧹 **Resource Cleanup** - Automatic cleanup prevents test leaks
- 🚀 **Performance** - Memory-only operations by default (no disk I/O)
- 🧪 **26 New Tests** - Comprehensive resource management tests

### Resource Management
- Configurable DuckDB memory limits (`max_memory="4GB"`)
- Optional disk spillover with isolation (`allow_disk_spillover=True`)
- Automatic cleanup on `session.stop()` and `__del__`
- No shared temp files between tests - complete isolation

## Development Setup

```bash
# Install for development
git clone https://github.com/eddiethedean/mock-spark.git
cd mock-spark
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Setup Java 11 and Spark environment (macOS)
bash tests/setup_spark_env.sh

# Run all tests (parallel execution with 8 cores)
pytest tests/ -v -n 8 -m "not delta"  # Non-Delta tests
pytest tests/ -v -m "delta"            # Delta tests (serial)

# Run all tests with proper isolation
python3 -m pytest tests/ -v -n 8 -m "not delta" && python3 -m pytest tests/ -v -m "delta"

# Format code
black mock_spark tests --line-length 100

# Type checking
mypy mock_spark --config-file mypy.ini

# Linting
ruff check .
```

---

## Compatibility Testing

Mock Spark is tested against multiple Python and PySpark version combinations to ensure broad compatibility.

### Run Compatibility Matrix Tests

Test mock-spark against Python 3.9-3.13 and PySpark 3.2-3.5:

```bash
# Run all compatibility tests (requires Docker)
./run_compatibility_tests.sh

# Or run directly
python tests/compatibility_matrix/run_matrix_tests.py
```

This will:
- Build Docker images for each Python/PySpark combination
- Run critical tests in isolated containers
- Generate `COMPATIBILITY_REPORT.md` with results

### Test a Single Combination

```bash
# Test Python 3.10 + PySpark 3.3.4
./tests/compatibility_matrix/test_single_combination.sh 3.10 3.3.4
```

See [tests/compatibility_matrix/README.md](tests/compatibility_matrix/README.md) for more details.
