## The Story

Every data engineer working on Databricks knows the exact feeling:

It is 2 AM. Your streaming pipeline crashes with `DeltaAnalysisException: Cannot perform Merge as multiple source rows matched`. Or worse: native DLT `expect_or_drop` silently purged 50,000 regulatory records, and nobody noticed until audit season. You spin up an interactive cluster to debug, burning DBUs while waiting 4 minutes for workers to allocate, only to discover that someone chained 8 `.withColumn()` calls and wrote a row-level Python `@udf` that disabled Whole-Stage CodeGen and created massive JVM-to-Python socket serialization.

Meanwhile, enterprise SaaS observability tools cost \$50,000 to \$150,000 annually just to send a Slack alert *after* corrupted data has already entered downstream Gold tables.

`dlt-doctor` is the antidote:
- **Zero cluster spend**: Statically audits your PySpark AST and configurations in under 50ms locally or inside CI before code merges.
- **Zero silent data loss**: Replaces destructive `expect_or_drop` with dual-routing quarantine streams.
- **Surgical healing**: Calculates bounded late-data partition blast radii to restate historical rolling windows with 98.1% less I/O scan than full-table reloads.

## Why dlt-doctor vs The \$100k SaaS Stack

Commercial observability tools (Monte Carlo, Anomalo, Unravel Data, Acceldata) charge enterprise subscriptions to poll metrics post-run. `dlt-doctor` shifts left: it fixes the code, isolates bad records, and scripts partition-pruned restatements before compute runs.

| Architectural Dimension | Commercial SaaS (Monte Carlo / Anomalo) | APM Profilers (Unravel / Acceldata) | dlt-doctor |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Cluster Cost** | Burns DBUs running continuous full-table scan queries | Requires persistent daemon telemetry agents | **Zero cluster cost** (runs via local AST in <50ms) |
| **Actionability** | Read-only alert notifications (Slack / PagerDuty) | Metric utilization graphs without code generation | **Automated code synthesis** (PySpark rewrites, MERGE SQL) |
| **Code Inspection** | None; treats pipeline code as an opaque black box | High-level JVM metrics only | **Deep Catalyst AST analysis** (UDFs, plan bloat, spills) |
| **DLT Integration** | None; unaware of Delta Live Tables decorators | None; treats DLT as generic streaming jobs | **Dual-routing quarantine** (`@expect_or_quarantine`) |
| **CDC Micro-Batches** | Alerts after duplicate records land | None | **Pre-merge window deduplication** |
| **Late Data Backfills** | Alerts on data lag without math | None | **Bounded blast-radius partition calculation** |
| **Licensing & Footprint** | \$30k–\$150k/year enterprise contracts; VPC peering | Multi-tenant SaaS or complex daemon setup | **100% Free & Open Source (Apache 2.0)**; single pip install |

## Quickstart

### Interactive Walkthrough Notebook

Import [`notebooks/01_dlt_doctor_walkthrough.ipynb`](./notebooks/01_dlt_doctor_walkthrough.ipynb) directly into your Databricks workspace to run the interactive cell magic and AST optimizers live on your cluster.

### 1. Installation

```bash
pip install dlt-doctor
```

### 2. Pre-Commit & GitHub Actions CI Gate

Catch PySpark anti-patterns in pull requests before they merge:

```yaml
# .github/workflows/pyspark-audit.yml
name: PySpark Quality Gate
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  audit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Run dlt-doctor Quality Audit
        uses: MsMansiDhruv/dlt-doctor@main
        with:
          path: "src/pipelines"
          format: "text"
```

### 3. Essential CLI Commands

```bash
# Statically audit a single pipeline script or Databricks notebook (.ipynb)
dlt-doctor analyze src/pipelines/orders_silver.py
dlt-doctor analyze notebooks/01_ingest.ipynb

# Recursively scan an entire Lakehouse repository directory
dlt-doctor analyze src/pipelines --recursive

# Calculate late-arriving partition blast radius and emit pruned MERGE SQL
dlt-doctor restate --table main.gold.orders --late-date 2026-10-25 --window 7

# Generate streaming CDC deduplication and SCD merge templates
dlt-doctor cdc --table main.silver.customers --keys customer_id --event-time updated_at

# Audit legacy DBFS mounts and two-tier Hive Metastore references for Unity Catalog
dlt-doctor uc-migrate src/pipelines/orders.py --catalog prod_lakehouse --schema bronze

# Forecast Databricks DBU burn and cluster sizing (Serverless vs Classic DLT)
dlt-doctor cost --files-per-hour 25000 --avg-file-mb 12 --joins 2

# Inspect live Delta Lake table telemetry in Databricks (compaction debt, commit velocity, vacuum safety)
dlt-doctor inspect-table main.gold.orders --warehouse-id <warehouse_id>
```

### 4. Interactive Databricks Notebook Cell Magic

Audit PySpark code interactively inside Databricks or Jupyter notebook cells before cluster execution:

```python
# Load the extension in notebook setup cell
%load_ext dlt_doctor

%%dlt_doctor
# Audits cell Catalyst AST and renders a native displayHTML scorecard
df_clean = (
    spark.readStream.table("bronze_orders")
    .withColumns({
        "quantity_clean": F.expr("try_cast(quantity AS INT)"),
        "unit_price_clean": F.expr("try_cast(unit_price AS DECIMAL(18,2))"),
    })
)
```

## Production Walkthrough

### Act 1: Pre-Flight Code & Ingestion Health

Catch Catalyst compilation degradation, Auto Loader backpressure, and legacy storage paths before code touches an active cluster:

```python
from dlt_doctor import PlanDoctor, AdvisorDoctor, AutoLoaderDoctor

# 1. Statically audit PySpark code for chained withColumn calls and row-level UDFs
doctor = PlanDoctor()
findings = doctor.analyze_source_code("""
df_clean = (
    df.withColumn("c1", F.col("a"))
      .withColumn("c2", F.col("b"))
      .withColumn("clean_val", my_python_udf(F.col("raw")))
      .repartition(4)
)
""")

report = AdvisorDoctor().compile_report("orders_etl", findings)
# Render scorecard directly inside a Databricks notebook cell
displayHTML(AdvisorDoctor().to_databricks_html(report))

# 2. Audit Auto Loader ingestion stream progress for backpressure
al_doctor = AutoLoaderDoctor()
al_health = al_doctor.diagnose_stream_progress(
    {
        "numInputRows": 50000,
        "inputRowsPerSecond": 1200.0,
        "processedRowsPerSecond": 450.0,  # Falling behind ingestion rate
    }
)
if al_health.is_backpressured:
    print(f"Stream backpressured: Backlog ~{al_health.estimated_backlog_rows:,} rows.")
```

### Act 2: Streaming Execution & Zero-Loss Quality

Replace destructive `expect_or_drop` and prevent streaming CDC multiple-match merge failures:

```python
import dlt
from dlt_doctor import ExpectationDoctor, ExpectationRule, CdcDoctor

# 1. Dual-Routing Quarantine (Valid -> Gold, Invalid -> Quarantine Table)
exp_doctor = ExpectationDoctor()
rules = [
    ExpectationRule("valid_id", "order_id IS NOT NULL"),
    ExpectationRule("positive_amount", "amount > 0"),
]
plan = exp_doctor.build_quarantine_routing("silver_orders", rules)


@dlt.table(name=plan.target_clean_table)
def silver_orders():
    return dlt.read_stream("bronze_orders").filter(plan.valid_filter_sql)


@dlt.table(name=plan.target_quarantine_table)
def silver_orders_quarantine():
    return (
        dlt.read_stream("bronze_orders")
        .filter(plan.invalid_filter_sql)
        .withColumn("_quarantined_at", F.current_timestamp())
    )


# 2. Streaming CDC Micro-Batch Window Deduplication
cdc = CdcDoctor().generate_cdc_templates(
    target_table="main.silver.customers",
    primary_keys=["customer_id"],
    event_time_col="updated_at",
)
# Inside foreachBatch handler: dedupes micro-batch to eliminate Delta multiple-match exception
print(cdc.microbatch_dedup_code)
print(cdc.scd1_merge_sql)
```

### Act 3: Lakehouse Storage & Surgical Healing

Restate historical rolling metrics with surgical partition pruning and optimize Delta table storage:

```python
from dlt_doctor import RestatementDoctor, ClusterDoctor, ColumnProfile, VacuumDoctor

# 1. Surgical Late Data Restatement (Bounded Blast Radius)
reconciler = RestatementDoctor()
scope = reconciler.calculate_blast_radius(
    target_table="main.gold.fact_orders",
    late_date_iso="2026-10-25",
    window_size_days=7,
    partition_col="order_date",
    match_key="order_id",
)
# Restates only the 7 affected partition days, skipping 358 unaffected days
spark.sql(scope.delta_merge_sql)

# 2. Select Optimal Liquid Clustering (CLUSTER BY) Keys
cluster_rec = ClusterDoctor().advise_clustering(
    table_name="main.gold.fact_orders",
    columns=[
        ColumnProfile(
            "customer_id", "string", distinct_count=25000, filter_frequency_score=0.9
        ),
        ColumnProfile(
            "order_date", "date", distinct_count=1800, filter_frequency_score=0.95
        ),
        ColumnProfile(
            "order_uuid", "string", distinct_count=9900000
        ),  # Rejected: near-unique
    ],
    total_rows=10000000,
)
spark.sql(cluster_rec.alter_cluster_ddl)

# 3. Safe Delta VACUUM Retention Guard
vac_report = VacuumDoctor().evaluate_vacuum_safety(
    table_name="main.silver.orders",
    requested_retention_hours=24,
    active_streaming_readers=2,
    cdf_enabled=True,
)
if vac_report.safety_level.value != "DANGEROUS":
    spark.sql(vac_report.recommended_vacuum_sql)
```
