📅 2025-09-24 — Session: Resolved ABI Mismatch and Optimized Dask Operations
🕒 19:50–21:00
🏷️ Labels: Python, Dask, GCP, Data Publishing, Git
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal: The session aimed to resolve ABI mismatches in Python environments and optimize Dask DataFrame operations for improved performance.
Key Activities:
- Resolved ABI mismatches by aligning version matrices for NumPy, pandas, and SciPy, using both Conda and venv for environment management.
- Implemented a run banner in CLI scripts to enhance log readability and traceability.
- Optimized Dask DataFrame operations by replacing slow
isincalls with merge-based semi-joins and introduced progress bars for long-running tasks. - Explored data publishing models for the Argentina Census 2010, recommending a hybrid strategy for effective data dissemination.
- Developed a minimum viable publishing plan for GCP, including dataset preparation, uploading, and serving via a custom domain.
- Managed Git repository with improved
.gitignore, staged commits, and documentation enhancements.
Achievements:
- Successfully resolved ABI mismatches and optimized Dask operations, leading to improved performance and traceability in Python scripts.
Pending Tasks:
- Further refinement of the GCP publishing workflow for the Argentina Census 2010 data.
- Complete the design and implementation of a harmonization layer for survey data using a Canonical Data Model.
- Finalize README structure for the Census Sampler repository.
