Interface IExtractWithProgressAndCancellationAsync<TSource, TProgress>

Namespace
Wolfgang.Etl.Abstractions
Assembly
Wolfgang.Etl.Abstractions.dll

Defines an asynchronous extractor interface for extracting data of type T. A class implementing this interface is intended to be the first step in an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process.

public interface IExtractWithProgressAndCancellationAsync<out TSource, out TProgress> : IExtractWithCancellationAsync<TSource>, IExtractWithProgressAsync<TSource, TProgress>, IExtractAsync<TSource> where TSource : notnull where TProgress : notnull

Type Parameters

TSource

Represents a single item from the source of the ETL

TProgress

The value of the updated progress

Inherited Members

Remarks

The extractor is responsible for pulling data from a source, which could be a database, file, API, web service or any other data source. It is also responsible for handling any exceptions that may occur during the extraction process, including but not limited to network issues, data format errors, or source unavailability. The extractor should be resilient and capable of retrying operations in case of transient failures. The extracted data is returned as an asynchronous stream of type TSource, allowing for efficient processing by the transformer and loader components of the ETL pipeline. Ideally, the extractor should NOT do any transformation of the data; its sole responsibility is to pull data from the source and provide it in its raw form to the next step in the ETL process. However, occasionally, some minimal transformation may be necessary to ensure the data is in a suitable format for further processing. For example, if the data is being extracted from a CSV file the same library that parses the CSV file may also bind the data to a specific type TSource. In this case the pragmatic approach is to allow the extractor to perform this minimal transformation

Methods

ExtractAsync(IProgress<TProgress>, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously extracts data of type TSource from a source.

IAsyncEnumerable<out TSource> ExtractAsync(IProgress<out TProgress> progress, CancellationToken token)

Parameters

progress IProgress<TProgress>

A provider for progress updates.

token CancellationToken

A CancellationToken to observe while waiting for the task to complete.

Returns

IAsyncEnumerable<TSource>

IAsyncEnumerable<TSource> - The result may be an empty sequence if no data is available or if the extraction fails.

Remarks

The extractor should be able to handle cancellation requests gracefully. If the caller doesn't plan on cancelling the extraction, they can pass CancellationToken.None.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The value of progress is null
