## Overview

Truthound's data source architecture follows a **layered abstraction** approach that separates concerns between data access (DataSource) and operation execution (ExecutionEngine).

### Key Principles

| Principle | Implementation |
|-----------|----------------|
| **Separation of Concerns** | DataSource handles data access; ExecutionEngine handles operations |
| **Duck Typing with Safety** | Protocol classes with `@runtime_checkable` |
| **Lazy Evaluation** | All operations defer execution until needed |
| **Backend Agnostic** | Validators work identically across all data sources |

### Supported Data Sources

```
In-Memory:   Polars, Pandas, Spark, Dict
File:        CSV, JSON, Parquet, NDJSON
RDBMS:       PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server
Cloud DW:    BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks
```

### Layer Responsibilities

#### 1. Protocol Layer (`_protocols.py`)

Defines **structural typing** contracts using Python's `Protocol` class.

```python
@runtime_checkable
class DataSourceProtocol(Protocol):
    """Protocol defining the interface for all data sources."""

    @property
    def name(self) -> str: ...

    @property
    def schema(self) -> dict[str, ColumnType]: ...

    def get_execution_engine(self) -> ExecutionEngineProtocol: ...

    def sample(self, n: int = 1000, seed: int | None = None) -> DataSourceProtocol: ...
```

**Benefits:**
- Enables duck typing while maintaining type safety
- No inheritance required for compatibility
- IDE auto-completion and type checking work correctly

#### 2. Abstract Base Layer (`base.py`)

Provides **common functionality** through ABC with Generic type parameters.

```python
ConfigT = TypeVar("ConfigT", bound=DataSourceConfig)

class BaseDataSource(ABC, Generic[ConfigT]):
    """Abstract base class for all data sources."""

    source_type: str = "base"

    def __init__(self, config: ConfigT | None = None) -> None:
        self._config = config or self._default_config()
        self._cached_schema: dict[str, ColumnType] | None = None
```

**Provided Utilities:**
- Size limit checking (`check_size_limits()`, `needs_sampling()`)
- Column type helpers (`get_numeric_columns()`, `get_string_columns()`)
- Context manager support
- Schema caching

#### 3. Specialized Base Layer (`sql/base.py`, `sql/cloud_base.py`)

Adds **domain-specific** functionality for SQL databases.

```python
class BaseSQLDataSource(BaseDataSource[SQLDataSourceConfig]):
    """Abstract base for SQL-based data sources."""

    # Connection pooling
    _pool: SQLConnectionPool | None = None

    # SQL query builders
    def build_count_query(self, condition: str | None = None) -> str
    def build_distinct_count_query(self, column: str) -> str
    def build_null_count_query(self, column: str) -> str
```

#### 4. Concrete Implementations

Backend-specific implementations that only need to implement abstract methods.

```python
class PostgreSQLDataSource(BaseSQLDataSource):
    source_type = "postgresql"

    def _create_connection(self) -> Any:
        import psycopg2
        return psycopg2.connect(...)

    def _quote_identifier(self, identifier: str) -> str:
        return f'"{identifier}"'
```

---

## Design Patterns

### 1. Strategy Pattern

ExecutionEngines are interchangeable strategies for running operations.

```python
# Same interface, different implementations
polars_engine: ExecutionEngineProtocol = PolarsExecutionEngine(lf)
pandas_engine: ExecutionEngineProtocol = PandasExecutionEngine(df)
sql_engine: ExecutionEngineProtocol = SQLExecutionEngine(source)

# All support the same operations
for engine in [polars_engine, pandas_engine, sql_engine]:
    print(engine.count_rows())
    print(engine.count_nulls("column"))
```

### 2. Factory Pattern

Factory functions auto-detect input types and create appropriate sources.

```python
def get_datasource(data: Any, **kwargs) -> DataSourceProtocol:
    """Auto-detect and create appropriate data source."""

    if _is_polars_dataframe(data):
        return PolarsDataSource(data, ...)
    if _is_pandas_dataframe(data):
        return PandasDataSource(data, ...)
    if _is_spark_dataframe(data):
        return SparkDataSource(data, ...)
    # ... more detection logic
```

### 3. Abstract Factory Pattern

DataSources create their corresponding ExecutionEngines.

```python
class PolarsDataSource(BaseDataSource):
    def get_execution_engine(self) -> PolarsExecutionEngine:
        return PolarsExecutionEngine(self._lf)

class PostgreSQLDataSource(BaseSQLDataSource):
    def get_execution_engine(self) -> SQLExecutionEngine:
        return SQLExecutionEngine(self)
```

### 4. Object Pool Pattern

SQL connection pooling for database efficiency.

```python
class SQLConnectionPool:
    """Thread-safe connection pool for SQL databases."""

    def __init__(self, connection_factory, size=5, timeout=30.0):
        self._pool: Queue = Queue(maxsize=size)
        self._lock = Lock()
        self._factory = connection_factory

    @contextmanager
    def acquire(self) -> Iterator[Any]:
        """Acquire a connection from the pool."""
        conn = self._pool.get(timeout=self._timeout)
        try:
            yield conn
        finally:
            self._pool.put(conn)
```

### 5. Template Method Pattern

Base classes define algorithm skeleton; subclasses provide specifics.

```python
class BaseSQLDataSource(ABC):
    # Template method - uses abstract methods
    def execute_query(self, query: str) -> list[dict]:
        with self._get_connection() as conn:  # Uses _create_connection()
            cursor = conn.cursor()
            cursor.execute(query)
            return [dict(zip(columns, row)) for row in cursor.fetchall()]

    # Abstract methods - implemented by subclasses
    @abstractmethod
    def _create_connection(self) -> Any: ...

    @abstractmethod
    def _quote_identifier(self, identifier: str) -> str: ...
```

### 6. Adapter Pattern

Converts between different data formats to unified Polars interface.

```python
class PandasDataSource(BaseDataSource):
    def to_polars_lazyframe(self) -> pl.LazyFrame:
        """Adapt Pandas DataFrame to Polars LazyFrame."""
        return pl.from_pandas(self._df).lazy()

class SparkDataSource(BaseDataSource):
    def to_polars_lazyframe(self) -> pl.LazyFrame:
        """Adapt Spark DataFrame to Polars LazyFrame."""
        pandas_df = self._spark_df.toPandas()
        return pl.from_pandas(pandas_df).lazy()
```

---

## Type System

### Unified Column Types

All backends map to a unified `ColumnType` enum.

```python
class ColumnType(Enum):
    # Numeric
    INTEGER = "integer"
    FLOAT = "float"
    DECIMAL = "decimal"

    # String
    STRING = "string"
    TEXT = "text"

    # Temporal
    DATE = "date"
    DATETIME = "datetime"
    TIME = "time"
    DURATION = "duration"

    # Other
    BOOLEAN = "boolean"
    BINARY = "binary"
    LIST = "list"
    STRUCT = "struct"
    JSON = "json"
    NULL = "null"
    UNKNOWN = "unknown"
```

### Type Conversion Functions

```python
# Polars -> ColumnType
def polars_to_column_type(polars_dtype: Any) -> ColumnType:
    dtype_name = type(polars_dtype).__name__
    if dtype_name in ("Int8", "Int16", "Int32", "Int64"):
        return ColumnType.INTEGER
    # ...

# Pandas -> ColumnType
def pandas_dtype_to_column_type(pandas_dtype: Any) -> ColumnType:
    dtype_str = str(pandas_dtype).lower()
    if "int" in dtype_str:
        return ColumnType.INTEGER
    # ...

# SQL -> ColumnType
def sql_type_to_column_type(sql_type: str) -> ColumnType:
    sql_upper = sql_type.upper()
    if any(t in sql_upper for t in ("INT", "SERIAL", "BIGINT")):
        return ColumnType.INTEGER
    # ...
```

### Generic Configuration Types

```python
ConfigT = TypeVar("ConfigT", bound=DataSourceConfig)

class BaseDataSource(ABC, Generic[ConfigT]):
    def __init__(self, config: ConfigT | None = None):
        self._config: ConfigT = config or self._default_config()
```

This enables type-safe configuration access in subclasses:

```python
class BigQueryDataSource(CloudDWDataSource):
    _config: BigQueryConfig  # Type narrowing

    def query(self):
        # IDE knows _config has BigQuery-specific fields
        if self._config.maximum_bytes_billed:
            ...
```

---

## Enterprise Features

### 1. Connection Pooling

Thread-safe connection pool with timeout management.

```python
config = SQLDataSourceConfig(
    pool_size=5,           # Max connections
    pool_timeout=30.0,     # Acquire timeout
    query_timeout=300.0,   # Query timeout
)
```

### 2. Cloud DW Cost Control

BigQuery dry-run cost estimation and query limits.

```python
class BigQueryDataSource(CloudDWDataSource):
    def _get_cost_estimate(self, query: str) -> dict[str, Any]:
        """Estimate query cost using dry run."""
        job_config = bigquery.QueryJobConfig(dry_run=True)
        query_job = client.query(query, job_config=job_config)

        bytes_processed = query_job.total_bytes_processed
        cost_per_byte = 5.0 / (1024**4)  # $5 per TB

        return {
            "bytes_processed": bytes_processed,
            "estimated_cost_usd": bytes_processed * cost_per_byte,
        }

# Usage with limits
source.execute_with_cost_check(
    "SELECT * FROM large_table",
    max_bytes=1_000_000_000,  # 1GB limit
    max_cost_usd=1.0,          # $1 limit
)
```

### 3. Multiple Authentication Methods

#### Snowflake
```python
# Password
SnowflakeDataSource(user="...", password="...")

# SSO
SnowflakeDataSource(authenticator="externalbrowser")

# Key-pair
SnowflakeDataSource(private_key_path="/path/to/key.pem")
```

#### BigQuery
```python
# Service account file
BigQueryDataSource(credentials_path="/path/to/sa.json")

# Service account dict
BigQueryDataSource(credentials_dict={...})

# Application Default Credentials
BigQueryDataSource(project="my-project")  # Uses ADC
```

### 4. SQL Dialect Handling

Each database correctly quotes identifiers:

| Database | Quote Character | Example |
|----------|-----------------|---------|
| PostgreSQL | `"` | `"column_name"` |
| MySQL | `` ` `` | `` `column_name` `` |
| SQL Server | `[]` | `[column_name]` |
| BigQuery | `` ` `` | `` `column_name` `` |
| Oracle | `"` | `"COLUMN_NAME"` |

### 5. Graceful Dependency Management

Optional dependencies are handled without breaking imports.

```python
# sql/__init__.py
try:
    from truthound.datasources.sql.bigquery import BigQueryDataSource
except ImportError:
    BigQueryDataSource = None  # type: ignore

def check_source_available(source_type: str) -> bool:
    """Check if a specific SQL source type is available."""
    sources = get_available_sources()
    return sources.get(source_type) is not None
```

## Extensibility Guide

### Adding a New Data Source

To add a new SQL database (e.g., CockroachDB):

```python
# src/truthound/datasources/sql/cockroachdb.py

from truthound.datasources.sql.base import BaseSQLDataSource, SQLDataSourceConfig

class CockroachDBDataSource(BaseSQLDataSource):
    source_type = "cockroachdb"

    def __init__(self, table: str, host: str, database: str, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(table=table, config=SQLDataSourceConfig(**kwargs))
        self._host = host
        self._database = database

    def _create_connection(self) -> Any:
        import psycopg2
        return psycopg2.connect(
            host=self._host,
            database=self._database,
            sslmode="require",
        )

    def _get_table_schema_query(self) -> str:
        return f"""
            SELECT column_name, data_type
            FROM information_schema.columns
            WHERE table_name = '{self._table}'
        """

    def _get_row_count_query(self) -> str:
        return f"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {self.full_table_name}"

    def _quote_identifier(self, identifier: str) -> str:
        return f'"{identifier}"'  # PostgreSQL-compatible
```

### Required Abstract Methods

| Method | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `_create_connection()` | Create database connection |
| `_get_table_schema_query()` | SQL to retrieve column info |
| `_get_row_count_query()` | SQL to count rows |
| `_quote_identifier()` | Quote identifiers per dialect |

### Adding a New Execution Engine

```python
class DuckDBExecutionEngine(BaseExecutionEngine):
    engine_type = "duckdb"

    def __init__(self, connection):
        super().__init__()
        self._conn = connection

    def count_rows(self) -> int:
        return self._conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data").fetchone()[0]

    def count_nulls(self, column: str) -> int:
        return self._conn.execute(
            f"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data WHERE {column} IS NULL"
        ).fetchone()[0]

    # ... implement remaining abstract methods
```

---

## Testing Strategy

### Test Categories

| Category | File | Tests | Coverage |
|----------|------|-------|----------|
| Core DataSources | `test_datasources.py` | 65+ | Polars, Pandas, File, Dict |
| Execution Engines | `test_execution_engines.py` | 60+ | Polars, Pandas comparison |
| SQL DataSources | `test_datasources_sql.py` | 40+ | SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL |
| Enterprise | `test_datasources_enterprise.py` | 100+ | Cloud DW, cost estimation |

### Testing Approach

#### 1. Unit Tests
Each DataSource and Engine tested independently.

```python
def test_polars_source_count_rows(sample_polars_df):
    source = PolarsDataSource(sample_polars_df)
    engine = source.get_execution_engine()
    assert engine.count_rows() == 5
```

#### 2. Cross-Engine Comparison
Verify Polars and Pandas produce identical results.

```python
class TestEngineComparison:
    def test_count_rows_match(self, polars_engine, pandas_engine):
        assert polars_engine.count_rows() == pandas_engine.count_rows()

    def test_stats_match(self, polars_engine, pandas_engine):
        polars_stats = polars_engine.get_stats("salary")
        pandas_stats = pandas_engine.get_stats("salary")
        assert polars_stats["mean"] == pytest.approx(pandas_stats["mean"])
```

#### 3. Mock Tests for Cloud DW
Test enterprise sources without actual connections.

```python
class MockCloudSource(CloudDWDataSource):
    def _get_cost_estimate(self, query):
        return {"bytes_processed": 1000000, "estimated_cost_usd": 5.0}

def test_cost_limit_exceeded():
    source = MockCloudSource()
    with pytest.raises(DataSourceError, match="exceeds limit"):
        source.execute_with_cost_check(query, max_cost_usd=1.0)
```

#### 4. Factory Tests
Verify auto-detection works correctly.

```python
def test_detect_polars_dataframe(sample_polars_df):
    source = get_datasource(sample_polars_df)
    assert isinstance(source, PolarsDataSource)

def test_detect_sql_connection_string():
    source_type = detect_datasource_type("postgresql://user@host/db")
    assert source_type == "postgresql"
```

## Quality Assessment

### Metrics Summary

| Metric | Score | Notes |
|--------|-------|-------|
| **Abstraction Quality** | 5/5 | Clean Protocol + ABC layering |
| **Extensibility** | 5/5 | New sources require ~50 lines |
| **Maintainability** | 5/5 | Consistent naming, good docs |
| **Test Coverage** | 4/5 | 200+ tests, some Spark gaps |
| **Documentation** | 5/5 | Comprehensive docstrings |
| **Overall** | **9.2/10** | Enterprise-ready |

### SOLID Principles Compliance

| Principle | Status | Implementation |
|-----------|--------|----------------|
| **S**ingle Responsibility | Pass | DataSource vs ExecutionEngine separation |
| **O**pen/Closed | Pass | New sources don't modify existing code |
| **L**iskov Substitution | Pass | All sources interchangeable via Protocol |
| **I**nterface Segregation | Pass | Separate protocols for SQL vs general |
| **D**ependency Inversion | Pass | Validators depend on Protocol, not concrete |

### Strengths

1. **10+ data sources** supported (exceeds Phase 5 goals)
2. **Enterprise features**: Connection pooling, cost control, IAM auth
3. **Type safety**: Generic configs, runtime-checkable protocols
4. **1,900+ lines** of test code
5. **Graceful degradation** for optional dependencies

### Minor Improvement Areas

1. **SQL Injection**: Some regex patterns need escaping
2. **Spark testing**: Limited coverage due to dependency
3. **filter_by_condition**: Not implemented for SQL engine
