This code defines an Apache Airflow DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) named "ETL_Server_Access_Log_Processing" with a series of tasks for downloading, extracting, transforming, and loading data. The DAG is scheduled to run daily. Here's a brief description:
-
Importing Modules: The code begins by importing necessary modules from the Apache Airflow library.
-
DAG Arguments Block: The
default_args
dictionary sets up default parameters for the DAG, including owner, start date, email settings, retries, and retry delay. -
DAG Definition Block: The DAG itself is defined with the ID "ETL_Server_Access_Log_Processing." It has a description indicating that it's the author's first DAG and is scheduled to run daily.
-
Download Task: The
Download
task uses theBashOperator
to execute a shell command that downloads a web server access log file from a specified URL. -
Extract Task: The
Extract
task uses theBashOperator
to execute a shell command (cut
) that extracts specific fields (timestamp
andvisitorid
) from the downloaded log file and saves the result in a new file named "extracted.txt." -
Transform Task: The
Transform
task uses theBashOperator
to execute a shell command (tr
) that capitalizes all characters in thevisitorId
field in the "extracted.txt" file, producing a new file named "capitalized.txt." -
Load Task: The
Load
task uses theBashOperator
to execute a shell command (zip
) that compresses the "capitalized.txt" file into a ZIP archive named "log.zip." -
Task Dependencies: The
Download
task is set as a dependency for theExtract
task, theExtract
task is a dependency for theTransform
task, and theTransform
task is a dependency for theLoad
task. This creates a sequence of tasks where each task depends on the successful completion of the previous one.
The DAG is essentially an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflow that processes a web server access log file on a daily basis.
