climate_ref.models
#
Declaration of the models used by the REF.
These models are used to represent the data that is stored in the database.
Base
#
Bases: DeclarativeBase
Base class for all models

Dataset
#
Bases: Base
Represents a dataset
A dataset is a collection of data files, that is used as an input to the benchmarking process. Adding/removing or updating a dataset will trigger a new diagnostic calculation.
A polymorphic association is used to capture the different types of datasets as each dataset type may have different metadata fields. This enables the use of a single table to store all datasets, but still allows for querying specific metadata fields for each dataset type.

#
When the dataset was updated.
Updating a dataset will trigger a new diagnostic calculation.
version_key = mapped_column(BigInteger, default=(-1), server_default='-1', nullable=False)
class-attribute
instance-attribute
#
Numeric ordering key for the subclass's version column,
computed by :func:climate_ref_core.datasets.version_sort_key.
Kept in sync by the _sync_version_key mapper event.
Rows with no version attribute (base-table-only inserts) keep the -1 backstop.
Lives on the base table (not a subclass) so the SQL latest-version window function
(select_datasets(..., latest_group_by=...)) can read it off any polymorphic row while
partitioning on the subclass's dataset_id_metadata columns.
Core writes to version
(session.execute(update(...)), connection.execute(...), bulk_update_mappings)
bypass the event and leave version_key stale, silently corrupting latest-version dedup.
ALWAYS mutate version through an ORM instance.

Execution
#
Bases: CreatedUpdatedMixin, Base
Represents a single execution of a diagnostic
Each result is part of a group of executions that share similar input datasets.
An execution group might be run multiple times as new data becomes available,
each run will create a Execution.

ExecutionGroup
#
Bases: CreatedUpdatedMixin, Base
Represents a group of executions with a shared set of input datasets.
When solving, the ExecutionGroups are derived from the available datasets,
the defined diagnostics and their data requirements. From the information in the
group an execution can be triggered, which is an actual run of a diagnostic calculation
with a specific set of input datasets.
When the ExecutionGroup is created, it is marked dirty, meaning there are no
current executions available. When an Execution was run successfully for a
ExecutionGroup, the dirty mark is removed. After ingesting new data and
solving again and if new versions of the input datasets are available, the
ExecutionGroup will be marked dirty again.
The diagnostic_id and key form a unique identifier for ExecutionGroups.

should_run(dataset_hash, rerun_failed=False, stale_cutoff=None)
#
Check if the diagnostic execution group needs to be executed.
The dirty flag is the primary signal for whether an execution group needs to be rerun.
It is set when the group is created or when new data is available,
and cleared when an execution completes (whether successful or not).
Manual intervention (flag-dirty, fail-running) can set it back to True.
The execution group should be run if:
- no executions have been performed ever
- the dataset hash is different from the last run
- the execution group is marked as dirty
rerun_failed=Trueis passed and the last execution failed
The execution group should NOT be run if:
- an execution with the same dataset hash is already in progress
- the last execution failed and the group is not dirty
(use
rerun_failed=Trueorflag-dirtyto retry)

| Name | Type | Description | Default |

MetricValue
#
Bases: DimensionMixin, CreatedUpdatedMixin, Base
Represents a single metric value
This is a base class for different types of metric values (e.g. scalar, series) which are stored in a single table using single table inheritance.
This value has a number of dimensions which are used to query the diagnostic values. These dimensions describe aspects such as the type of statistic being measured, the region of interest or the model from which the statistic is being measured.
The columns in this table are not known statically because the REF can track an arbitrary
set of dimensions depending on the controlled vocabulary that will be used.
A call to register_cv_dimensions must be made before using this class.
