Day 02 - Oop

Learning Objectives

This module introduces enterprise-grade software architecture patterns essential for building scalable, maintainable geospatial data processing systems. By the end of this module, you will understand:

  • Interface Segregation and Dependency Inversion principles in distributed geospatial systems
  • Provider Pattern implementation for multi-format data source abstraction
  • Factory and Strategy patterns for runtime behavior selection and configuration
  • Plugin architecture design enabling extensible data processing pipelines
  • Clean Architecture principles for domain-driven geospatial service design
  • Enterprise integration patterns for heterogeneous geospatial data ecosystems

Theoretical Foundation

SOLID Principles in Geospatial Context

Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): Each provider handles exactly one data format concern, making the system easier to test, debug, and maintain.

Open/Closed Principle (OCP): The provider architecture is open for extension (new data formats) but closed for modification (existing providers remain unchanged).

Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): Any MapDataProvider implementation can be substituted for another without breaking client code.

Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Small, focused interfaces prevent clients from depending on methods they don't use.

Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): High-level geospatial processing logic depends on abstractions, not concrete implementations.

Enterprise Architecture Context

In large-scale geospatial systems, we encounter: - Multiple data formats: GeoJSON, Shapefile, MVT, PostGIS, Oracle Spatial - Varying data sources: Files, databases, APIs, streaming services - Different access patterns: Batch processing, real-time streaming, random access - Evolving requirements: New formats, changing schemas, performance optimizations

The Provider Pattern enables: - Runtime format selection: Choose optimal format based on use case - Zero-downtime migrations: Gradually migrate between data sources - A/B testing: Compare performance between different implementations - Vendor independence: Avoid lock-in to specific data formats or services

Goals

  • Design enterprise-grade interfaces with minimal coupling and maximal cohesion
  • Implement pluggable architecture supporting runtime format selection
  • Apply dependency injection patterns for testable, configurable systems
  • Understand clean architecture boundaries between domain logic and infrastructure

Core Concepts

1) Interface via ABC

ABCs define a contract implemented by concrete providers.

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class MapDataProvider(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str):
        """Must be implemented by subclasses."""
        pass

Benefits: - Enforces consistency; enables polymorphism and easy mocking. - Documents expectations; keeps call sites stable as implementations evolve.

2) Factory and Strategy

Factory creates the right provider for a given content type; Strategy lets behavior vary (e.g., coordinate transforms) without touching callers.

class ProviderFactory:
    @staticmethod
    def create_provider(content_type: str) -> MapDataProvider:
        if content_type == "geojson":
            return GeoJSONProvider()
        elif content_type == "mvt":
            return MVTProvider()
        else:
            raise ValueError(f"Unknown content type: {content_type}")

Strategy example:

class CoordinateTransformer:
    def __init__(self, strategy: TransformationStrategy):
        self.strategy = strategy

    def transform(self, coordinates):
        return self.strategy.transform(coordinates)

3) Package Layout

Organize for clarity and import hygiene:

src/day02_oop/
├── __init__.py          # Package initialization
├── providers/           # Subpackage for providers
│   ├── __init__.py     # Exports main classes
│   ├── base.py         # Abstract base class
│   ├── geojson_provider.py
│   └── mvt_provider.py
└── README.md

Code Walkthrough

1) Abstract Base Class

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import Any

class MapDataProvider(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:
        """Retrieve a feature by its unique identifier."""
        raise NotImplementedError

    @abstractmethod
    def stream_features(self) -> Any:
        """Stream all features from the data source."""
        raise NotImplementedError

Key Points: - @abstractmethod decorator marks methods that must be implemented - raise NotImplementedError provides a clear error if not implemented - Type hints help with IDE support and documentation

2. Concrete Implementations

GeoJSON Provider

import json
from pathlib import Path
from typing import Any, Iterable
from .base import MapDataProvider

class GeoJSONProvider(MapDataProvider):
    def __init__(self, path: str | Path) -> None:
        self._path = Path(path)
        self._data = json.loads(self._path.read_text())
        # Build an index for fast lookups
        self._index = {
            f["properties"].get("id"): f 
            for f in self._data.get("features", [])
        }

    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:
        return self._index.get(feature_id)

    def stream_features(self) -> Iterable[dict]:
        yield from self._data.get("features", [])

Features: - Indexing: Builds a lookup dictionary for O(1) feature retrieval - Path handling: Uses pathlib.Path for cross-platform compatibility - Memory efficiency: Yields features one at a time

MVT Provider

from pathlib import Path
from typing import Any, Iterable
from .base import MapDataProvider

class MVTProvider(MapDataProvider):
    def __init__(self, directory: str | Path) -> None:
        self._directory = Path(directory)

    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:
        # MVT files don't have feature IDs - would need external index
        return None

    def stream_features(self) -> Iterable[bytes]:
        # Yield raw MVT bytes from directory
        for p in self._directory.rglob("*.mvt"):
            yield p.read_bytes()

Features: - Directory scanning: Uses rglob to find all .mvt files - Binary handling: Returns raw bytes for MVT data - Placeholder implementation: Shows where external indexing would be needed

3. Package Exports

# providers/__init__.py
from .base import MapDataProvider
from .geojson_provider import GeoJSONProvider
from .mvt_provider import MVTProvider

# This allows users to import directly from the package
# from src.day02_oop.providers import MapDataProvider

Usage

Create and use providers via the common interface. Note: MVTProvider.stream_features() yields raw bytes for demo purposes; GeoJSONProvider and CSVProvider yield dict features.

from src.day02_oop.providers import GeoJSONProvider, MVTProvider, CSVProvider

# Create providers
geojson_provider = GeoJSONProvider("data/roads.geojson")
mvt_provider = MVTProvider("data/tiles/")
csv_provider = CSVProvider("src/day02_oop/providers/data/roads_sample.csv")

# Use polymorphically
for provider in [geojson_provider, mvt_provider, csv_provider]:
    features = list(provider.stream_features())
    print(f"Provider {type(provider).__name__}: {len(features)} features")

Testing the Interface

def test_provider_interface(provider: MapDataProvider):
    """Test that any provider implements the required interface."""
    # This will work with any MapDataProvider subclass
    features = list(provider.stream_features())
    assert len(features) >= 0

    # Test feature lookup if supported
    if provider.get_feature_by_id("test_id") is not None:
        print("Provider supports feature lookup")

Exercises

1) Implement a New Provider

Create a CSVProvider that reads from CSV files:

import csv
from pathlib import Path
from typing import Any, Iterable
from .base import MapDataProvider

class CSVProvider(MapDataProvider):
    def __init__(self, path: str | Path) -> None:
        self._path = Path(path)
        # TODO: Implement CSV reading logic

    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:
        # TODO: Implement CSV lookup
        pass

    def stream_features(self) -> Iterable[dict]:
        # TODO: Implement CSV streaming
        pass

2) Add a Factory Method

class ProviderFactory:
    _providers = {
        "geojson": GeoJSONProvider,
        "mvt": MVTProvider,
        "csv": CSVProvider,  # Add your new provider
    }

    @classmethod
    def create_provider(cls, content_type: str, **kwargs) -> MapDataProvider:
        if content_type not in cls._providers:
            raise ValueError(f"Unknown provider type: {content_type}")

        provider_class = cls._providers[content_type]
        return provider_class(**kwargs)

    @classmethod
    def register_provider(cls, name: str, provider_class: type):
        """Allow runtime registration of new providers."""
        cls._providers[name] = provider_class

Or use the built-in minimal factory:
```python
from src.day02_oop.providers import ProviderFactory

csv = ProviderFactory.create("csv", path="src/day02_oop/providers/data/roads_sample.csv")
geojson = ProviderFactory.create("geojson", path="data/roads.geojson")
### 3) Add Caching for Hot Paths

```python
from functools import lru_cache

class CachedGeoJSONProvider(GeoJSONProvider):
    @lru_cache(maxsize=1000)
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:
        return super().get_feature_by_id(feature_id)

Advanced

1) Protocols (Structural Typing)

Instead of ABCs, you can use protocols for structural typing:

from typing import Protocol

class MapDataProvider(Protocol):
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any: ...
    def stream_features(self) -> Iterable[Any]: ...

# Any class with these methods automatically implements the protocol

2) Generics for Type Safety

Make providers more type-safe with generics:

from typing import Generic, TypeVar

T = TypeVar('T')

class MapDataProvider(ABC, Generic[T]):
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> T | None:
        pass

    @abstractmethod
    def stream_features(self) -> Iterable[T]:
        pass

class GeoJSONProvider(MapDataProvider[dict]):
    # Now the return types are properly typed
    pass

3) Context Managers

Add resource management to providers:

class ManagedGeoJSONProvider(GeoJSONProvider):
    def __enter__(self):
        # Could open file handles, database connections, etc.
        return self

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        # Clean up resources
        pass

Best Practices

1) Interface Design

  • Keep interfaces small and focused
  • Use descriptive method names
  • Document expected behavior clearly
  • Consider backward compatibility

2) Error Handling

class GeoJSONProvider(MapDataProvider):
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:
        if not hasattr(self, '_index'):
            raise RuntimeError("Provider not properly initialized")

        if not feature_id:
            raise ValueError("Feature ID cannot be empty")

        return self._index.get(feature_id)

3) Testing

import pytest
from unittest.mock import Mock

def test_provider_contract():
    """Test that providers follow the contract."""
    mock_provider = Mock(spec=MapDataProvider)

    # These should work without errors
    mock_provider.get_feature_by_id("test")
    list(mock_provider.stream_features())

Common Pitfalls

1) Over-Abstraction

# ❌ Too many abstract methods
class MapDataProvider(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str): pass
    @abstractmethod
    def stream_features(self): pass
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_count(self): pass  # Maybe not needed?
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_bounds(self): pass  # Maybe not needed?

# ✅ Focus on core functionality
class MapDataProvider(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str): pass
    @abstractmethod
    def stream_features(self): pass

2) Ignoring Resource Management

# ❌ File handles not properly closed
def stream_features(self):
    with open(self._path) as f:
        return json.load(f)["features"]

# ✅ Proper resource management
def stream_features(self):
    with open(self._path) as f:
        data = json.load(f)
        yield from data["features"]

Next Steps

  • Decide ABC vs Protocol for your team’s typing philosophy.
  • Implement and test CSVProvider or a PostGIS-backed provider.
  • Add a simple factory and registration mechanism.
  • Validate/normalize feature schemas at the boundary.

Advanced Enterprise Patterns

Hexagonal Architecture Implementation

# Domain Layer - Core business logic

Plugin Architecture with Registry

        self._configurations: Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]] = {}

    def register(self, name: str, provider_class: Type[MapDataProvider], 
                 config: Dict[str, Any] = None):
        """Register a provider with optional configuration."""
        self._providers[name] = provider_class
        self._configurations[name] = config or {}

    def create(self, name: str, **override_config) -> MapDataProvider:
        """Create provider instance with configuration."""
        if name not in self._providers:

        provider_class = self._providers[name]
        config = {**self._configurations[name], **override_config}
        return provider_class(**config)

    def list_providers(self) -> List[str]:
        """List all registered provider names."""
        return list(self._providers.keys())

# Usage
registry = ProviderRegistry()
registry.register("geojson", GeoJSONProvider, {"buffer_size": 8192})
registry.register("postgis", PostGISProvider, {"pool_size": 20})

# Runtime provider selection
provider = registry.create("geojson", path="/data/roads.geojson")

Configuration-Driven Architecture

            raise ValueError(f"{self.provider_type} requires connection_string")
        if self.provider_type in ["geojson", "shapefile"] and not self.file_path:
            raise ValueError(f"{self.provider_type} requires file_path")

class ConfigurableProviderFactory:
    """Factory that creates providers from configuration."""

    @staticmethod
    def from_config(config: ProviderConfig) -> MapDataProvider:
        if config.provider_type == "geojson":
            provider = GeoJSONProvider(config.file_path)
        elif config.provider_type == "postgis":
            provider = PostGISProvider(config.connection_string)
        else:
            raise ValueError(f"Unsupported provider: {config.provider_type}")

        if config.cache_enabled:

        if config.retry_attempts > 0:
            provider = RetryingProvider(provider, max_attempts=config.retry_attempts)

        return provider

Decorator Pattern for Cross-Cutting Concerns

    def __init__(self, wrapped_provider: MapDataProvider, 
                 cache: Optional[Dict] = None, ttl: int = 300):

        # Check cache validity
        if (feature_id in self._cache and 
            feature_id in self._timestamps and

        self._metrics = metrics_collector

    async def get_feature_by_id(self, feature_id: str) -> Any:

        except Exception as e:
            self._metrics.record_error("get_feature_by_id", str(e))
            raise

# Usage: Composable decorators
