Summary of Changes

Hello @vish-cs, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a new BigQuery aggregation helper Cloud Function and seamlessly integrates it into the existing data ingestion workflow. The primary goal is to enhance the data pipeline by adding a dedicated, automated step for performing post-ingestion data aggregation or validation within BigQuery for various imports. This allows for more flexible and specific data processing after the initial dataflow jobs are completed.

Highlights

  • New Aggregation Cloud Function: A new Python Cloud Function named aggregation_helper has been introduced. This function is designed to receive a list of imports via an HTTP request and execute specific BigQuery aggregation queries for each import, currently with placeholder logic for 'india_census' and 'us_census'.
  • Workflow Integration: The existing spanner-ingestion-workflow.yaml has been updated to incorporate a new run_aggregation step. This step calls the newly deployed aggregation_helper Cloud Function after dataflow jobs are completed, passing the relevant import list for post-ingestion processing.
  • Automated Deployment: The cloudbuild.yaml configuration has been modified to include a new step for deploying the import-aggregation-helper Cloud Function. This ensures that the new function is automatically deployed as part of the CI/CD pipeline, with necessary environment variables like BQ_DATASET_ID configured.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new Cloud Function, aggregation-helper, designed to run post-import aggregation queries in BigQuery. The function is integrated into the existing spanner-ingestion-workflow. The changes also include updating the Cloud Build configuration to deploy this new function and modifying the workflow YAML to invoke it.

My review has identified a critical issue in the new Cloud Function related to SQL syntax that will cause it to fail. I've also included several suggestions to improve code quality, maintainability, and configuration hygiene.

Catching a broad Exception can hide bugs and make debugging difficult. It's better to catch more specific exceptions. For BigQuery client initialization, consider catching google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError or other specific exceptions from the google-cloud-bigquery library if you know what might go wrong.

The environment variable BQ_DATASET_ID is loaded but it's never used in the code. This can be confusing for future developers. Please either use it in your queries (e.g., to specify the dataset for tables) or remove it if it's not needed.

The if/elif chain to select a query based on import_name can become hard to maintain as more import types are added. Consider refactoring this to use a dictionary to map import name patterns to query logic. This would make the code more scalable and easier to read.

For example:

QUERY_MAP = {
    "india_census": """
        SELECT @import_name as import_name, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() as execution_time
     """,
    "us_census": """
        SELECT @import_name as import_name, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() as execution_time
     """,
}

query = None
for key, q in QUERY_MAP.items():
    if key in import_name:
        query = q
        break

if not query:
    logging.info(f"No specific aggregation logic for import: {import_name}")
    continue

It's a good practice to pin dependency versions in requirements.txt to ensure reproducible builds and prevent unexpected breakages from library updates. Please consider specifying a version for google-cloud-bigquery.

google-cloud-bigquery==3.17.2

The import-aggregation-helper function is being configured with several environment variables that it does not appear to use, such as SPANNER_PROJECT_ID, SPANNER_INSTANCE_ID, SPANNER_DATABASE_ID, GCS_BUCKET_ID, and LOCATION. To improve security and reduce configuration complexity, it's best practice to only provide the environment variables that are actually required by the function. The aggregation-helper function only seems to require BQ_DATASET_ID.
