From ce532f912568eff29438301121861db95d77151a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2025 01:43:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix: improve CSV discovery datetime detection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Enhanced filesystem CSV extractor to properly detect datetime columns during discovery mode. Previously, columns like "created_at" with values like "2025-03-03 11:53:20" were incorrectly labeled as "string" type. Changes: - Increased sample size from 1 to 100 rows for better type inference - Added intelligent datetime detection with common format patterns - Try explicit formats first (%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S, %Y-%m-%d, ISO8601) - Fallback to dateutil parser with warning suppression - Validate conversion success rate (>80%) before accepting as datetime Benefits: - Datetime columns now correctly detected as "datetime" type - No pandas UserWarnings about format inference - Faster execution when format matches common patterns - Better UX for discovery output Tested with actors.csv and reviews.csv containing datetime columns. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py | 37 ++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py b/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py index e6c8b14..d6004d4 100644 --- a/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py +++ b/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py @@ -339,8 +339,41 @@ def discover(self, config: dict, base_dir: str | None = None) -> dict: file_info["column_names"] = list(df_sample.columns) file_info["columns"] = len(df_sample.columns) -

Problem: The fallback datetime parser used pd.to_datetime(errors='coerce') which interprets purely numeric strings as Unix timestamps: "12345" -> 1970-01-01 00:00:12.345 (WRONG!) This caused ID columns stored as strings (e.g., "12345", "67890") to be incorrectly detected as datetime type instead of integer/string. Solution: Added pre-check for date-like separators before applying fallback parser: - Sample first 20 values from column - Check if any contain date separators: '-', '/', or ':' - Only apply fallback parser if separators are found - Otherwise skip parser (likely numeric IDs) Results: - ID columns: "12345" -> integer ✓ (NOT datetime) - Datetime columns: "2025-03-03 11:53:20" -> datetime ✓ (still works) - All 81 CSV tests pass ✓ This prevents false positives while maintaining accurate datetime detection for real date/time columns. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py | 29 ++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py b/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py index 335bad6..5f5ef0d 100644 --- a/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py +++ b/osiris/drivers/filesystem_csv_extractor_driver.py @@ -364,16 +364,25 @@ def discover(self, config: dict, base_dir: str | None = None) -> dict: continue else: # Fallback to dateutil parser (suppress warning about format inference) - try: - import warnings - - with warnings.catch_warnings(): - warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=UserWarning) - converted = pd.to_datetime(df_types[col], errors="coerce") - if converted.notna().sum() / len(converted) > 0.8: - df_types[col] = converted - except Exception: # noqa: S110 - pass # Keep original dtype + # BUT FIRST: Check if values look date-like to avoid false positives + # Problem: pd.to_datetime() interprets numeric strings as Unix timestamps + # Example: "12345" -> 1970-01-01 00:00:12.345 (WRONG!) + # Solution: Only apply fallback if strings contain date separators + sample_values = df_types[col].dropna().astype(str).head(20) + has_date_separators = sample_values.str.contains(r"[-/:]").any() + + if has_date_separators: + try: + import warnings + + with warnings.catch_warnings(): + warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=UserWarning) + converted = pd.to_datetime(df_types[col], errors="coerce") + if converted.notna().sum() / len(converted) > 0.8: + df_types[col] = converted + except Exception: # noqa: S110 + pass # Keep original dtype + # else: skip fallback, likely numeric IDs or other non-date strings file_info["column_types"] = { col: self._format_dtype(dtype) for col, dtype in df_types.dtypes.items() From 71462ec9c71bd890717c53faf5581bedb67246be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2025 14:53:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fix: improve datetime detection to handle European dates and sparse columns MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;
