Combine two or more collections

Note, if two collections have files of the same name, the contents will be concatenated in the resulting manifest.

import arvados
import arvados.collection
api = arvados.api()
project_uuid = "zzzzz-tpzed-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
collection_uuids = ["zzzzz-4zz18-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", "zzzzz-4zz18-bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"]
combined_manifest = ""
for u in collection_uuids:
    c = api.collections().get(uuid=u).execute()
    combined_manifest += c["manifest_text"]
newcol = arvados.collection.Collection(combined_manifest)
newcol.save_new(name="My combined collection", owner_uuid=project_uuid)

Upload a file into a new collection

import arvados
import arvados.collection

project_uuid = "zzzzz-j7d0g-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
collection_name = "My collection"
filename = "file1.txt"

api = arvados.api()
c = arvados.collection.Collection()
with open(filename, "rb") as reader:
    with c.open(filename, "wb") as writer:
        content = reader.read(128*1024)
        while content:
            writer.write(content)
            content = reader.read(128*1024)
c.save_new(name=collection_name, owner_uuid=project_uuid)
print("Saved %s to %s" % (collection_name, c.manifest_locator()))

Download a file from a collection

import arvados
import arvados.collection

collection_uuid = "zzzzz-4zz18-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
filename = "file1.txt"

api = arvados.api()
c = arvados.collection.CollectionReader(collection_uuid)
with c.open(filename, "rb") as reader:
    with open(filename, "wb") as writer:
        content = reader.read(128*1024)
        while content:
            writer.write(content)
            content = reader.read(128*1024)
print("Finished downloading %s" % filename)

Copy files from a collection to a new collection

import arvados.collection

source_collection = "zzzzz-4zz18-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
target_project = "zzzzz-j7d0g-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
target_name = "Files copied from source_collection"
files_to_copy = ["folder1/sample1/sample1_R1.fastq",
                 "folder1/sample2/sample2_R1.fastq"]

source = arvados.collection.CollectionReader(source_collection)
target = arvados.collection.Collection()

for f in files_to_copy:
    target.copy(f, "", source_collection=source)

target.save_new(name=target_name, owner_uuid=target_project)
print("Created collection %s" % target.manifest_locator())

Copy files from a collection to another collection

import arvados.collection

source_collection = "zzzzz-4zz18-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
target_collection = "zzzzz-4zz18-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
files_to_copy = ["folder1/sample1/sample1_R1.fastq",
                 "folder1/sample2/sample2_R1.fastq"]

source = arvados.collection.CollectionReader(source_collection)
target = arvados.collection.Collection(target_collection)

for f in files_to_copy:
    target.copy(f, "", source_collection=source)

target.save()

Delete a file from an existing collection

import arvados

c = arvados.collection.Collection("zzzzz-4zz18-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz")
c.remove("file2.txt")
c.save()

Listing records with paging

Use the arvados.util.keyset_list_all helper method to iterate over all the records matching an optional filter. This method handles paging internally and returns results incrementally using a Python iterator. The first parameter of the method takes a list method of an Arvados resource (collections, container_requests, etc).

import arvados.util

api = arvados.api()
for c in arvados.util.keyset_list_all(api.collections().list, filters=[["name", "like", "%sample123%"]]):
    print("got collection " + c["uuid"])

Querying the vocabulary definition

The Python SDK provides facilities to interact with the active metadata vocabulary in the system. The developer can do key and value lookups in a case-insensitive manner:

from arvados import api, vocabulary
voc = vocabulary.load_vocabulary(api('v1'))

[k.identifier for k in set(voc.key_aliases.values())]
# Example output: ['IDTAGCOLORS', 'IDTAGFRUITS', 'IDTAGCOMMENT', 'IDTAGIMPORTANCES', 'IDTAGCATEGORIES', 'IDTAGSIZES', 'IDTAGANIMALS']
voc['IDTAGSIZES'].preferred_label
# Example output: 'Size'
[v.preferred_label for v in set(voc['size'].value_aliases.values())]
# Example output: ['S', 'M', 'L', 'XL', 'XS']
voc['size']['s'].aliases
# Example output: ['S', 'small']
voc['size']['Small'].identifier
# Example output: 'IDVALSIZES2'

Translating between vocabulary identifiers and labels

Client software might need to present properties to the user in a human-readable form or take input from the user without requiring them to remember identifiers. For these cases, there’re a couple of conversion methods that take a dictionary as input like this:

from arvados import api, vocabulary
voc = vocabulary.load_vocabulary(api('v1'))

voc.convert_to_labels({'IDTAGIMPORTANCES': 'IDVALIMPORTANCES1'})
# Example output: {'Importance': 'Critical'}
voc.convert_to_identifiers({'creature': 'elephant'})
# Example output: {'IDTAGANIMALS': 'IDVALANIMALS3'}
