How to Check Column Nulls and Replace: Pandas

-
Image
Here is a post that shows how to count Nulls and replace them with the value you want in the Pandas Dataframe. We have explained the process in two steps - Counting and Replacing the Null values. Count null values (column-wise) in Pandas ## count null values column-wise null_counts = df.isnull(). sum() print(null_counts) ``` Output: ``` Column1    1 Column2    1 Column3    5 dtype: int64 ``` In the above code, we first create a sample Pandas DataFrame `df` with some null values. Then, we use the `isnull()` function to create a DataFrame of the same shape as `df`, where each element is a boolean value indicating whether that element is null or not. Finally, we use the `sum()` function to count the number of null values in each column of the resulting DataFrame. The output shows the count of null values column-wise. to count null values column-wise: ``` df.isnull().sum() ``` ##Code snippet to count null values row-wise: ``` df.isnull().sum(axis=1) ``` In the above code, `df` is the Panda

How to Monitor Kafka-stream's Performance

-
Kafka Streams API is a part of Kafka, it goes without saying that monitoring your application will require some monitoring of Kafka as well.

Performance


The consumer and producer performance is one of the fundamental performance concerns for a producer and consumer.

What is lag


For producers, we care mostly about how fast the producer is sending messages to the broker. Obviously, the higher the throughput, the better.

For consumers, we’re also concerned with performance, or how fast we can read messages from a broker.

we care about how much and how fast our producers can publish to a broker, and we simultaneously care about how quickly our consumers can read those messages from the broker. The difference between how fast the producers place records on the broker and when consumers read those messages is called consumer lag


How to check consumer lag


To check for consumer lag, Kafka provides a convenient command-line tool, kafka-consumer-groups.sh, found in the <kafka-install-dir>/bin directory. The script has a few options, but here we’ll focus on the list and describe options. These two options will give you the information you need about consumer group performance.

List command

<kafka-install-dir>/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh \ --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 \ --list


Describe command

<kafka-install-dir>/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh \ --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 \ --group <GROUP-NAME> \ --describe


How to trace problem

  • A small lag or one that stays constant is OK, but a lag that continues to grow over time is an indication you’ll need to give your consumer more resources. 
  • For example, you might need to increase the partition count and hence increase the number of threads consuming from the topic. Or maybe your processing after reading the message is too heavyweight. After consuming a message, you could hand it off to an async queue, where another thread can pick up the message and do the processing.

Explained Ideal Structure of Python Class

-

When you are designing a class, you need to ensure that the classification of its critical parts is outlined at the beginning. The clearer the initial design, the more performant and scalable the class is. Some of the components in the order in which they should be defined in the class are mentioned as follows. Ideal structure of a class Class variables Constants or default variables are usually defined at the top of the class. For someone who is reading the code, it comes as an easy-to-view consolidated list, and for the interpreter it ensures that all such variables are processed before diving into the main logic of the class, including any other Instance method or constructor. The __init__ method The __init__ method provides information about inputs needed and how to instantiate the class. It is also the constructor of the class, which the very first method called while initializing the class . Special Python methods These methods change the functionality of the class or provide add

How to Check Kafka Available Brokers

Here's the command to check the list of brokers present in a Kafka Cluster. You can say the Broker is the heart of the Kafka cluster. In simple terms, it works as a process. The main function is to receive messages from publishers and gives permission to access messages by consumers. How to Check Available Brokers in Kafka Here is the command: linux$  ./zookeeper-shell.sh zookeeper-IPaddress:2181 | "ls /brokers/ids" Just use the above command to get the number of brokers present in your host (Kafka Cluster). What is Default Broker-id in Kafka  The default broker id is -1 . When you create a new broker, it adds to -1. Then, it gives a new broker id. The broker ids will be generated from  reserved.broker.max.id + 1. Types of broker ids. Use assigned Zookeeper generated broker id. According to Wiki: Kafka runs on a cluster of one or more servers (called brokers), and the partitions of all topics are distributed across the cluster nodes.  Additionally, partitions are replicat

6 Python file Methods Real Usage

Files always have data in them. For different purposes, you need methods to deal with them. These six file methods of use in this case. Related:  5 top file modes in python. Python file methods Below are the top six file methods in python: Tell() Seek() Flush() Fileno() truncate() isatty() 1. tell() The usage of tell method is it  returns the cursor-position of the file-pointer from the beginning of the file. It tells the current cursor position. The position starts from zero, which is same as of an index. Syntax:  fileobject.tell() 2. seek() The usage of seek  method is cursor position, from one position to the specified position from the beginning of the file, it moves. Here, the cursor will be sought to a particular location. Syntax:  fileobject.seek(position) 3. flush() The usage of flush  method is clean out the internal buffer. Before writing the text in the file, it is best practice to clear out that the internal buffer can be cleared. Syntax:  fileobject.flush() 4. fileno() The
