## Why Mock Spark?

**Tired of waiting 30+ seconds for Spark to initialize in every test?**

Mock Spark is a lightweight PySpark replacement that runs your tests **10x faster** by eliminating JVM overhead. Your existing PySpark code works unchanged—just swap the import.

```python
# Before
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

# After  
from mock_spark import MockSparkSession as SparkSession
```

### Key Benefits

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| ⚡ **10x Faster** | No JVM startup (30s → 0.1s) |
| 🎯 **Drop-in Replacement** | Use existing PySpark code unchanged |
| 📦 **Zero Java** | Pure Python with DuckDB backend |
| 🧪 **100% Compatible** | Full PySpark 3.2 API support |
| 🔄 **Lazy Evaluation** | Mirrors PySpark's execution model |
| 🏭 **Production Ready** | 388 passing tests, type-safe |

### Perfect For

- **Unit Testing** - Fast, isolated test execution
- **CI/CD Pipelines** - Reliable tests without infrastructure
- **Local Development** - Prototype without Spark cluster
- **Documentation** - Runnable examples without setup
- **Learning** - Understand PySpark without complexity

---

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install mock-spark
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from mock_spark import MockSparkSession, F

# Create session
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp")

# Your PySpark code works as-is
data = [{"name": "Alice", "age": 25}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 30}]
df = spark.createDataFrame(data)

# All operations work
result = df.filter(F.col("age") > 25).select("name").collect()
print(result)  # [Row(name='Bob')]
```

### Testing Example

```python
import pytest
from mock_spark import MockSparkSession, F

def test_data_pipeline():
    """Test PySpark logic without Spark cluster."""
    spark = MockSparkSession("TestApp")
    
    # Test data
    data = [{"score": 95}, {"score": 87}, {"score": 92}]
    df = spark.createDataFrame(data)
    
    # Business logic
    high_scores = df.filter(F.col("score") > 90)
    
    # Assertions
    assert high_scores.count() == 2
    assert high_scores.agg(F.avg("score")).collect()[0][0] == 93.5
```

## Core Features

### DataFrame Operations
- **Transformations**: `select`, `filter`, `withColumn`, `drop`, `distinct`, `orderBy`
- **Aggregations**: `groupBy`, `agg`, `count`, `sum`, `avg`, `min`, `max`
- **Joins**: `inner`, `left`, `right`, `outer`, `cross`
- **Advanced**: `union`, `pivot`, `unpivot`, `explode`

### Functions (50+)
- **String**: `upper`, `lower`, `concat`, `split`, `substring`, `trim`
- **Math**: `round`, `abs`, `sqrt`, `pow`, `ceil`, `floor`
- **Date/Time**: `current_date`, `date_add`, `date_sub`, `year`, `month`, `day`
- **Conditional**: `when`, `otherwise`, `coalesce`, `isnull`, `isnan`
- **Aggregate**: `sum`, `avg`, `count`, `min`, `max`, `first`, `last`

### Window Functions
```python
from mock_spark.window import MockWindow as Window

# Ranking and analytics
df.withColumn("rank", F.row_number().over(
    Window.partitionBy("dept").orderBy(F.desc("salary"))
))
```

### SQL Support
```python
df.createOrReplaceTempView("employees")
result = spark.sql("SELECT name, salary FROM employees WHERE salary > 50000")
```

### Lazy Evaluation
Mock Spark mirrors PySpark's lazy execution model:

```python
# Transformations are queued (not executed)
result = df.filter(F.col("age") > 25).select("name")  

# Actions trigger execution
rows = result.collect()  # ← Execution happens here
count = result.count()   # ← Or here
```

**Control evaluation mode:**
```python
# Lazy (default, recommended)
spark = MockSparkSession("App", enable_lazy_evaluation=True)

# Eager (for legacy tests)
spark = MockSparkSession("App", enable_lazy_evaluation=False)
```

## Advanced Features

### Storage Backends
- **Memory** (default) - Fast, ephemeral
- **DuckDB** - In-memory SQL analytics
- **File System** - Persistent storage

### Testing Utilities (Optional)
Optional utilities to make testing easier:

```python
# Error simulation for testing error handling
from mock_spark.error_simulation import MockErrorSimulator

# Performance simulation for edge cases
from mock_spark.performance_simulation import MockPerformanceSimulator

# Test data generation
from mock_spark.data_generation import create_test_data
```
