Get exactly one batch, based on a variety of flexible input types.

The method get_batch is the main user-facing method for getting batches; it supports both the new (V3) and the Legacy (V2) Datasource schemas. The version-specific implementations are contained in "_get_batch_v2()" and "_get_batch_v3()", respectively, both of which are in the present module.

For the V3 API parameters, please refer to the signature and parameter description of method "_get_batch_v3()". For the Legacy usage, please refer to the signature and parameter description of the method "_get_batch_v2()".

Processing Steps:

Determine the version (possible values are "v3" or "v2").
Convert the positional arguments to the appropriate named arguments, based on the version.
Package the remaining arguments as variable keyword arguments (applies only to V3).
Call the version-specific method ("_get_batch_v3()" or "_get_batch_v2()") with the appropriate arguments.

Parameters

arg1 – the first positional argument (can take on various types)
arg2 – the second positional argument (can take on various types)
arg3 – the third positional argument (can take on various types)
**kwargs – variable arguments

Returns

Batch (V3) or DataAsset (V2) – the requested batch

test_yaml_config is a convenience method for configuring the moving parts of a Great Expectations deployment. It allows you to quickly test out configs for system components, especially Datasources, Checkpoints, and Stores.

For many deployments of Great Expectations, these components (plus Expectations) are the only ones you'll need.

test_yaml_config is mainly intended for use within notebooks and tests.

Parameters

yaml_config – A string containing the yaml config to be tested
name – Optional name of the component to instantiate
class_name – Optional, overridden if provided in the config
runtime_environment – Optional override for config items
pretty_print – Determines whether to print human-readable output
return_mode – Determines what type of object test_yaml_config will return. Valid modes are "instantiated_class" and "report_object"
shorten_tracebacks – If true, catch any errors during instantiation and print only the last element of the traceback stack. This can be helpful for rapid iteration on configs in a notebook, because it can remove the need to scroll up and down a lot.

Returns

The instantiated component (e.g. a Datasource) OR a json object containing metadata from the component's self_check method. The returned object is determined by return_mode.
