## Quick Start

### Installation

**Standard Installation (All Features):**
```bash
pip install mock-spark
```

**Version-Specific Installation:**

Match a specific PySpark version's API (only exposes functions/methods available in that version):

```bash
# Match PySpark 3.0 API
pip install mock-spark[pyspark-3-0]

# Match PySpark 3.1 API  
pip install mock-spark[pyspark-3-1]

# Match PySpark 3.2 API
pip install mock-spark[pyspark-3-2]

# Match PySpark 3.3 API
pip install mock-spark[pyspark-3-3]

# Match PySpark 3.4 API
pip install mock-spark[pyspark-3-4]

# Match PySpark 3.5 API
pip install mock-spark[pyspark-3-5]
```

**Environment Variable:**

You can also set PySpark compatibility mode via environment variable:

```bash
# Set version at runtime
export MOCK_SPARK_PYSPARK_VERSION=3.1

# Or inline
MOCK_SPARK_PYSPARK_VERSION=3.2 python my_tests.py
```

**Why Version-Specific Installation?**

- **Exact API matching**: Test code against a specific PySpark version's API
- **Catch compatibility issues**: Functions not available in target version raise `AttributeError`
- **Safe upgrades**: Ensure code works with older PySpark versions before upgrading
- **CI/CD flexibility**: Test against multiple PySpark versions in parallel

See [`PYSPARK_FUNCTION_MATRIX.md`](https://github.com/eddiethedean/mock-spark/blob/main/PYSPARK_FUNCTION_MATRIX.md) for complete function availability across versions.

### 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)
# Output: [Row(name=Bob)]

# Show the DataFrame
df.show()
# Output:
# MockDataFrame[2 rows, 2 columns]
# age name 
# 25    Alice  
# 30    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
    
    # Always clean up
    spark.stop()

def test_large_dataset():
    """Test with larger dataset requiring more memory."""
    spark = MockSparkSession(
        "LargeTest",
        max_memory="4GB",
        allow_disk_spillover=True
    )
    
    # Process large dataset
    data = [{"id": i, "value": i * 10} for i in range(100000)]
    df = spark.createDataFrame(data)
    
    result = df.filter(F.col("id") > 50000).count()
    assert result < 50000
    
    spark.stop()
```

### Backend Selection

Mock Spark supports multiple backend engines for different use cases:

```python
# Default backend (DuckDB) - backward compatible
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp")

# Explicit backend selection via config
spark = MockSparkSession.builder \
    .config("spark.mock.backend", "duckdb") \
    .config("spark.mock.backend.maxMemory", "4GB") \
    .config("spark.mock.backend.allowDiskSpillover", True) \
    .getOrCreate()

# Memory backend for lightweight testing
spark = MockSparkSession.builder \
    .config("spark.mock.backend", "memory") \
    .getOrCreate()

# File backend for persistent storage
spark = MockSparkSession.builder \
    .config("spark.mock.backend", "file") \
    .config("spark.mock.backend.basePath", "/tmp/mock_spark") \
    .getOrCreate()
```

**Available Backends:**
- **DuckDB** (default): High-performance analytical database
- **Memory**: In-memory storage for lightweight testing
- **File**: File-based storage for persistent data

**Backend Configuration:**
- `spark.mock.backend`: Backend type ("duckdb", "memory", "file")
- `spark.mock.backend.maxMemory`: Memory limit (e.g., "1GB", "4GB")
- `spark.mock.backend.allowDiskSpillover`: Allow disk usage when memory is full
- `spark.mock.backend.basePath`: Base path for file backend

## Core Features

### 🚀 CTE Query Optimization (New in 2.10.0)

DataFrame operation chains are now automatically optimized using Common Table Expressions:

```python
# Enable lazy evaluation for CTE optimization
df = spark.createDataFrame(data).withLazy(True)

# This entire chain executes as ONE optimized query:
result = (
    df.filter(F.col("age") > 25)           # CTE 0: WHERE clause
      .select("name", "age", "salary")     # CTE 1: Column selection
      .withColumn("bonus", F.col("salary") * 0.1)  # CTE 2: New column
      .orderBy(F.desc("salary"))           # CTE 3: ORDER BY
      .limit(10)                           # CTE 4: LIMIT
).collect()  # Single query execution here

# Performance: 5-10x faster than creating 5 intermediate tables
```

**Benefits**: Reduced I/O, lower memory usage, faster execution for operation chains.

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

📖 **See complete function list**: [`PYSPARK_FUNCTION_MATRIX.md`](https://github.com/eddiethedean/mock-spark/blob/main/PYSPARK_FUNCTION_MATRIX.md) - Full compatibility matrix across PySpark 3.0-3.5

### 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")
result.show()
# Output:
# MockDataFrame[2 rows, 2 columns]
# name  salary
# Alice   60000   
# Bob     40000
```

### Delta Lake Format
Full Delta Lake table format support for advanced workflows:

```python
# Write as Delta table
df.write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("catalog.users")

# Time travel - query historical versions
v0_data = spark.read.format("delta").option("versionAsOf", 0).table("catalog.users")
v1_data = spark.read.format("delta").option("versionAsOf", 1).table("catalog.users")

# Schema evolution - add columns automatically
new_df.write.format("delta") \
    .mode("append") \
    .option("mergeSchema", "true") \
    .saveAsTable("catalog.users")

# MERGE operations for upserts
spark.sql("""
    MERGE INTO catalog.users AS target
    USING updates AS source
    ON target.id = source.id
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET *
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT *
""")

# View version history
history = spark.sql("DESCRIBE HISTORY catalog.users")
history.show()
# Output:
# MockDataFrame[1 rows, 3 columns]
# operation timestamp            version
# WRITE       2024-01-15 10:30:00   0
```

### 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 with configurable memory limits
- **File System** - Persistent storage

### Configurable Memory & Isolation

Control memory usage and test isolation:

```python
# Default: 1GB memory limit, no disk spillover (best for tests)
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp")

# Custom memory limit
spark = MockSparkSession("MyApp", max_memory="4GB")

# Allow disk spillover for large datasets (with test isolation)
spark = MockSparkSession(
    "MyApp",
    max_memory="8GB",
    allow_disk_spillover=True  # Uses unique temp directory per session
)
```

**Key Features:**
- **Memory Limits**: Set per-session memory limits to prevent resource exhaustion
- **Test Isolation**: Each session gets unique temp directories when spillover is enabled
- **Default Behavior**: Disk spillover disabled by default for fast, isolated tests
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Temp directories automatically cleaned up when session stops

---

## Performance Comparison

Real-world test suite improvements:

| Operation | PySpark | Mock Spark | Speedup |
|-----------|---------|------------|---------|
| Session Creation | 30-45s | 0.1s | **300x** |
| Simple Query | 2-5s | 0.01s | **200x** |
| Window Functions | 5-10s | 0.05s | **100x** |
| Full Test Suite | 5-10min | 30-60s | **10x** |
