Operators

Note

These operators are included and are intended to represent some of the most common Airflow Operators, but not all Airflow Operators.

Additional Operators can be created by subclassing OrbiterOperator or using OrbiterTask directly.

Review the Astronomer Registry to find additional Airflow Operators.

orbiter.objects.operators.bash

orbiter.objects.operators.bash.OrbiterBashOperator

Bases: OrbiterOperator

An Airflow BashOperator. Used to run shell commands.

>>> OrbiterBashOperator(task_id="foo", bash_command="echo 'hello world'")
foo_task = BashOperator(task_id='foo', bash_command="echo 'hello world'")

Parameters:

Name Type Description
task_id str

The task_id for the operator

bash_command str

The shell command to execute

**kwargs

Extra arguments to pass to the operator

**OrbiterBase

OrbiterBase inherited properties

orbiter.objects.operators.empty

orbiter.objects.operators.empty.OrbiterEmptyOperator

Bases: OrbiterOperator

An Airflow EmptyOperator. Does nothing.

>>> OrbiterEmptyOperator(task_id="foo")
foo_task = EmptyOperator(task_id='foo')

Parameters:

Name Type Description
task_id str

The task_id for the operator

**kwargs

Extra arguments to pass to the operator

**OrbiterBase

OrbiterBase inherited properties

orbiter.objects.operators.python

orbiter.objects.operators.python.OrbiterPythonOperator

Bases: OrbiterOperator

An Airflow PythonOperator. Used to execute any Python Function.

>>> def foo(a, b):
...    print(a + b)
>>> OrbiterPythonOperator(task_id="foo", python_callable=foo)
def foo(a, b):
   print(a + b)
foo_task = PythonOperator(task_id='foo', python_callable=foo)

Parameters:

Name Type Description
task_id str

The task_id for the operator

python_callable Callable

The python function to execute

op_args list | None, optional

The arguments to pass to the python function, defaults to None

op_kwargs dict | None, optional

The keyword arguments to pass to the python function, defaults to None

**kwargs

Extra arguments to pass to the operator

**OrbiterBase

OrbiterBase inherited properties

orbiter.objects.operators.smtp

orbiter.objects.operators.smtp.OrbiterEmailOperator

Bases: OrbiterOperator

An Airflow EmailOperator. Used to send emails.

>>> OrbiterEmailOperator(
...   task_id="foo", to="humans@astronomer.io", subject="Hello", html_content="World!"
... )
foo_task = EmailOperator(task_id='foo', to='humans@astronomer.io', subject='Hello', html_content='World!', conn_id='SMTP')

Parameters:

Name Type Description
task_id str

The task_id for the operator

to str | list[str]

The recipient of the email

subject str

The subject of the email

html_content str

The content of the email

files list, optional

The files to attach to the email, defaults to None

conn_id str, optional

The SMTP connection to use. Defaults to "SMTP" and sets orbiter_conns property

orbiter.objects.operators.sql

orbiter.objects.operators.sql.OrbiterSQLExecuteQueryOperator

Bases: OrbiterOperator

An Airflow Generic SQL Operator. Used to run SQL against any Database.

>>> OrbiterSQLExecuteQueryOperator(
...   task_id="foo", conn_id='sql', sql="select 1;"
... )
foo_task = SQLExecuteQueryOperator(task_id='foo', conn_id='sql', sql='select 1;')

Parameters:

Name Type Description
task_id str

The task_id for the operator

conn_id str
