Data Quality

数据质量

Data quality is the practice of ensuring that data is accurate, complete, consistent, timely, and trustworthy as it flows through pipelines and systems. Without explicit quality gates, bad data propagates silently - corrupting dashboards, training flawed models, and breaking downstream consumers. This skill covers the five pillars: schema validation at ingress, expectation-based testing with Great Expectations, data contracts between producers and consumers, lineage tracking for impact analysis, and continuous monitoring for anomaly detection.
数据质量是确保数据在流经管道和系统时准确、完整、一致、及时且可信的实践。如果没有明确的质量关卡，坏数据会悄然传播——损坏仪表盘、训练有缺陷的模型，并破坏下游消费者。此技能涵盖五大支柱：入口处的模式验证、基于Great Expectations的期望测试、生产者与消费者间的数据契约、用于影响分析的血缘追踪，以及用于异常检测的持续监控。

When to use this skill

何时使用此技能

Trigger this skill when the user:
  • Adds data validation or schema enforcement to a pipeline (ingestion, transformation, or serving)
  • Writes Great Expectations expectation suites or checkpoints
  • Defines data contracts between a producer team and consumer teams
  • Implements data lineage tracking or impact analysis
  • Sets up data quality monitoring dashboards or freshness/volume alerts
  • Investigates data quality incidents (missing columns, null spikes, schema drift)
  • Profiles a new dataset to understand distributions and anomalies
  • Builds row-count, freshness, or distribution-based quality checks
Do NOT trigger this skill for:
  • General ETL/ELT pipeline orchestration (use an Airflow/dbt skill instead)
  • Data modeling or warehouse design decisions without a quality focus
当用户有以下需求时触发此技能：
  • 为管道（ ingestion、转换或服务阶段）添加数据验证或模式强制规则
  • 编写Great Expectations期望套件或检查点
  • 定义生产者团队与消费者团队之间的数据契约
  • 实现数据血缘追踪或影响分析
  • 设置数据质量监控仪表盘或新鲜度/容量告警
  • 调查数据质量事件（缺失列、空值激增、模式漂移）
  • 探查新数据集以了解分布情况和异常
  • 构建基于行数、新鲜度或分布的质量检查
请勿在以下场景触发此技能：
  • 通用ETL/ELT管道编排（请改用Airflow/dbt相关技能）
  • 无质量聚焦的数据建模或数据仓库设计决策

Key principles

核心原则

  1. Validate at boundaries, not in the middle - Enforce quality at ingestion (before data enters your warehouse) and at serving (before consumers read it). Validating mid-pipeline catches problems too late to prevent downstream damage and too early to catch transformation bugs.
  2. Contracts are APIs for data - A data contract is a formal agreement between a producer and consumer on schema, semantics, SLAs, and ownership. Treat it like a versioned API - breaking changes require migration paths, not surprise emails.
  3. Test data like you test code - Every table should have expectations that run on every pipeline execution. Column nullability, uniqueness constraints, value ranges, referential integrity, and freshness are not optional - they are the unit tests of data engineering.
  4. Lineage enables impact analysis - You cannot assess the blast radius of a schema change without knowing what reads from what. Instrument lineage at the query level (not just table level) so you can trace column-level dependencies.
  5. Monitor trends, not just thresholds - A row count of 1M is fine today but means nothing without historical context. Use statistical anomaly detection (z-score, moving averages) to catch gradual drift that static thresholds miss.
  1. 在边界处验证，而非中间 - 在数据进入仓库前（入口处）和消费者读取前（服务端）强制实施质量管控。在管道中间进行验证，要么太晚无法防止下游损坏，要么太早无法捕获转换错误。
  2. 契约是数据的API - 数据契约是生产者和消费者之间关于模式、语义、SLA和所有权的正式协议。将其视为版本化的API——破坏性变更需要迁移路径，而非突发邮件通知。
  3. 像测试代码一样测试数据 - 每个表都应拥有在每次管道执行时运行的期望规则。列非空性、唯一性约束、值范围、引用完整性和新鲜度不是可选的——它们是数据工程的单元测试。
  4. 血缘支持影响分析 - 若不知道谁依赖谁，你无法评估模式变更的影响范围。在查询级别（而非仅表级别）记录血缘，以便追踪列级依赖关系。
  5. 监控趋势，而非仅阈值 - 今天100万行的行数是正常的，但脱离历史上下文则毫无意义。使用统计异常检测（z分数、移动平均值）来捕获静态阈值遗漏的渐进式漂移。

Core concepts

核心概念

The five dimensions of data quality

数据质量的五个维度

DimensionQuestion answeredHow to measure
AccuracyDoes the data reflect reality?Cross-reference with source of truth, spot-check samples
CompletenessAre all expected records and fields present?Null rate per column, row count vs expected count
ConsistencyDo related datasets agree?Cross-table referential integrity checks, duplicate detection
TimelinessIs the data fresh enough for its use case?Freshness SLA: time since last successful load
UniquenessAre there unwanted duplicates?Primary key uniqueness checks, deduplication audits
维度回答的问题测量方式
准确性数据是否反映现实？与可信源交叉引用，抽查样本
完整性所有预期记录和字段是否都存在？每列的空值率，行数与预期行数对比
一致性相关数据集是否一致？跨表引用完整性检查，重复项检测
及时性数据对于其用例来说是否足够新鲜？新鲜度SLA：自上次成功加载以来的时间
唯一性是否存在多余的重复项？主键唯一性检查，去重审计

Data contracts

数据契约

A data contract defines: the schema (column names, types, constraints), semantic meaning (what "revenue" means - gross or net), SLAs (freshness, volume bounds), and ownership (who to page when it breaks). Contracts are versioned artifacts stored alongside code - not wiki pages that rot. The producer owns the contract and is responsible for not shipping breaking changes without a version bump.
数据契约定义：模式（列名、类型、约束）、语义含义（例如“收入”是指总营收还是净营收）、SLA（新鲜度、容量范围）和所有权（出现问题时联系谁）。契约是与代码一起存储的版本化工件——而非会过时的wiki页面。生产者拥有契约的所有权，负责在发布破坏性变更前进行版本升级，而非突然变更。

Data lineage

数据血缘

Lineage is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) where nodes are datasets (tables, views, files) and edges are transformations (SQL queries, Spark jobs, dbt models). Column-level lineage tracks which output columns derive from which input columns. Tools like OpenLineage, DataHub, and dbt's built-in lineage provide this automatically when integrated into your orchestrator.
数据血缘是一个有向无环图（DAG），其中节点是数据集（表、视图、文件），边是转换操作（SQL查询、Spark作业、dbt模型）。列级血缘追踪输出列源自哪些输入列。OpenLineage、DataHub和dbt内置的血缘工具在集成到编排器后可自动提供此功能。

Great Expectations

Great Expectations

Great Expectations (GX) is the standard open-source framework for data testing. The core abstractions are: Data Source (connection to your data), Expectation Suite (a collection of assertions about a dataset), Validator (runs expectations against data), and Checkpoint (an orchestratable unit that validates data and triggers actions on pass/fail). Expectations are declarative - 
expect_column_values_to_not_be_null
- and produce rich, human-readable validation results.
Great Expectations（GX）是数据测试领域的标准开源框架。其核心抽象包括：Data Source（数据连接）、Expectation Suite（关于数据集的断言集合）、Validator（对数据运行期望规则）和Checkpoint（可编排的单元，用于验证数据并在通过/失败时触发操作）。期望规则是声明式的——例如
expect_column_values_to_not_be_null
——并会生成易于人类阅读的详细验证结果。

Implement freshness and volume monitoring

实现新鲜度和容量监控

Build SQL-based checks that run on a schedule and alert when data is stale or volume is anomalous.
sql
-- Freshness check: alert if orders table has no data in the last 2 hours
SELECT
  CASE
    WHEN MAX(created_at) < NOW() - INTERVAL '2 hours'
    THEN 'STALE'
    ELSE 'FRESH'
  END AS freshness_status,
  MAX(created_at) AS last_record_at,
  NOW() - MAX(created_at) AS staleness_duration
FROM orders;

-- Volume anomaly check: compare today's count to 7-day rolling average
WITH daily_counts AS (
  SELECT
    DATE(created_at) AS dt,
    COUNT(*) AS row_count
  FROM orders
  WHERE created_at >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '8 days'
  GROUP BY DATE(created_at)
),
stats AS (
  SELECT
    AVG(row_count) AS avg_count,
    STDDEV(row_count) AS stddev_count
  FROM daily_counts
  WHERE dt < CURRENT_DATE
)
SELECT
  dc.row_count AS today_count,
  s.avg_count,
  (dc.row_count - s.avg_count) / NULLIF(s.stddev_count, 0) AS z_score
FROM daily_counts dc, stats s
WHERE dc.dt = CURRENT_DATE;
-- Alert if z_score < -2 (significantly fewer rows than normal)
构建基于SQL的检查规则，按计划运行并在数据过期或容量异常时触发告警。

Track data lineage with OpenLineage

使用OpenLineage追踪数据血缘

Emit lineage events from your pipeline so downstream consumers can trace dependencies.
python
from openlineage.client import OpenLineageClient
from openlineage.client.run import RunEvent, RunState, Run, Job, InputDataset, OutputDataset
from openlineage.client.facet_v2 import (
    schema_dataset_facet,
    sql_job_facet,
)
import uuid
from datetime import datetime, timezone

client = OpenLineageClient(url="http://lineage-server:5000")

run_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
job = Job(namespace="warehouse", name="transform_orders")
从管道中发射血缘事件，以便下游消费者追踪依赖关系。
python
from openlineage.client import OpenLineageClient
from openlineage.client.run import RunEvent, RunState, Run, Job, InputDataset, OutputDataset
from openlineage.client.facet_v2 import (
    schema_dataset_facet,
    sql_job_facet,
)
import uuid
from datetime import datetime, timezone

client = OpenLineageClient(url="http://lineage-server:5000")

run_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
job = Job(namespace="warehouse", name="transform_orders")

Emit START event

Emit START event

client.emit(RunEvent( eventType=RunState.START, eventTime=datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(), run=Run(runId=run_id), job=job, inputs=[ InputDataset( namespace="warehouse", name="raw.orders", facets={ "schema": schema_dataset_facet.SchemaDatasetFacet( fields=[ schema_dataset_facet.SchemaDatasetFacetFields( name="order_id", type="STRING" ), schema_dataset_facet.SchemaDatasetFacetFields( name="amount", type="DECIMAL" ), ] ) }, ) ], outputs=[ OutputDataset(namespace="warehouse", name="curated.orders") ], ))
client.emit(RunEvent( eventType=RunState.START, eventTime=datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(), run=Run(runId=run_id), job=job, inputs=[ InputDataset( namespace="warehouse", name="raw.orders", facets={ "schema": schema_dataset_facet.SchemaDatasetFacet( fields=[ schema_dataset_facet.SchemaDatasetFacetFields( name="order_id", type="STRING" ), schema_dataset_facet.SchemaDatasetFacetFields( name="amount", type="DECIMAL" ), ] ) }, ) ], outputs=[ OutputDataset(namespace="warehouse", name="curated.orders") ], ))

... run transformation ...

... run transformation ...

Emit COMPLETE event

Emit COMPLETE event

client.emit(RunEvent( eventType=RunState.COMPLETE, eventTime=datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(), run=Run(runId=run_id), job=job, inputs=[InputDataset(namespace="warehouse", name="raw.orders")], outputs=[OutputDataset(namespace="warehouse", name="curated.orders")], ))

> OpenLineage integrates natively with Airflow, Spark, and dbt. Prefer built-in
> integration over manual event emission when available.
client.emit(RunEvent( eventType=RunState.COMPLETE, eventTime=datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(), run=Run(runId=run_id), job=job, inputs=[InputDataset(namespace="warehouse", name="raw.orders")], outputs=[OutputDataset(namespace="warehouse", name="curated.orders")], ))

> OpenLineage与Airflow、Spark和dbt原生集成。如果有内置集成，优先使用而非手动发射事件。

Profile a new dataset

探查新数据集

Use Great Expectations profiling to understand a dataset before writing expectations.
python
import great_expectations as gx

context = gx.get_context()
datasource = context.data_sources.get("warehouse")
asset = datasource.get_asset("new_table")
batch = asset.get_batch_definition("full_table").get_batch()
在编写期望规则前，使用Great Expectations探查功能了解数据集。
python
import great_expectations as gx

context = gx.get_context()
datasource = context.data_sources.get("warehouse")
asset = datasource.get_asset("new_table")
batch = asset.get_batch_definition("full_table").get_batch()

Anti-patterns / common mistakes

反模式/常见错误

MistakeWhy it's wrongWhat to do instead
Validating only in the warehouseBad data already propagated to consumers before checks runValidate at ingestion boundaries before data lands
Static thresholds for volume checksRow counts change over time; fixed thresholds cause alert fatigueUse z-score or rolling-average anomaly detection
No ownership on data contractsContracts without an owner rot and stop reflecting realityEvery contract must name a producing team and a Slack channel
Testing only column types, not semanticsType checks pass but "revenue" contains negative values or wrong currencyAdd business-logic expectations (ranges, allowed values, referential integrity)
Skipping lineage for "simple" pipelinesSimple pipelines grow complex; retrofitting lineage is 10x harderInstrument lineage from day one via OpenLineage or dbt
Running Great Expectations only in CIProduction data differs from test data; CI-only checks miss production driftRun checkpoints on every production pipeline execution
错误危害正确做法
仅在仓库内验证坏数据在检查运行前已传播给消费者在数据进入仓库前的入口边界处验证
容量检查使用静态阈值行数随时间变化；固定阈值会导致告警疲劳使用z分数或滚动平均异常检测
数据契约无所有权无所有者的契约会过时，不再反映实际情况每个契约必须指定生产团队和Slack沟通渠道
仅测试列类型，不测试语义类型检查通过，但“收入”可能包含负值或错误货币添加业务逻辑期望规则（范围、允许值、引用完整性）
为“简单”管道跳过血缘简单管道会逐渐变复杂；事后补加血缘的难度是初期的10倍从第一天起通过OpenLineage或dbt集成血缘
仅在CI中运行Great Expectations生产数据与测试数据不同；仅CI检查会遗漏生产漂移在每次生产管道执行时运行检查点

Gotchas

注意事项

  1. Static volume thresholds cause alert fatigue - Setting a fixed threshold like "alert if row count < 900,000" breaks as soon as business seasonality kicks in (weekends, holidays, seasonal products). Static thresholds generate false positive alerts that teams learn to ignore. Use z-score anomaly detection against a rolling 7-14 day baseline instead.
  2. Great Expectations profiler expectations promoted without review - The onboarding profiler auto-generates expectations based on observed data distributions. If the data you profile on already contains quality issues (outliers, null spikes), those bad patterns get baked into the expectation suite as acceptable. Always review and tighten profiler-generated expectations with domain knowledge before promoting to production checkpoints.
  3. Data contracts without enforcement - A YAML data contract in a repository that no pipeline actually reads is documentation, not a contract. Contracts only provide value when a CI check or pipeline gate validates that the producer's output conforms to the contract schema and SLA before it lands in the consumer's dataset.
  4. Lineage at table level misses column-level blast radius - Table-level lineage tells you "Table A feeds Table B," but if you rename a column in Table A, you need column-level lineage to know which specific downstream columns and models break. Instrument column-level lineage from the start via dbt's built-in lineage or OpenLineage column facets.
  5. Running checkpoints only in CI, not production - CI validates a sample of test data. Production data has different volumes, distributions, and edge cases that CI fixtures never capture. A checkpoint that passes in CI and never runs in production provides a false sense of security. Run checkpoints on every production pipeline execution, not just on PRs.
  1. 静态容量阈值导致告警疲劳 - 设置固定阈值（如“行数<90万则告警”）会因业务季节性（周末、假期、季节性产品）而失效。静态阈值会产生误报，导致团队忽略告警。改用基于7-14天滚动基线的z分数异常检测。
  2. 直接推广Great Expectations探查生成的期望规则 - 入门探查器会根据观测到的数据分布自动生成期望规则。如果探查的数据本身存在质量问题（异常值、空值激增），这些不良模式会被纳入期望套件并视为可接受。在推广到生产检查点前，务必根据领域知识审查并收紧自动生成的期望规则。
  3. 无强制执行的数据契约 - 仓库中无人读取的YAML数据契约只是文档，而非契约。只有当CI检查或管道关卡在生产者输出进入消费者数据集前验证其是否符合契约模式和SLA时，契约才会发挥价值。
  4. 表级血缘遗漏列级影响范围 - 表级血缘只能告诉你“表A供给表B”，但如果你重命名表A中的列，需要列级血缘才能知道哪些下游列和模型会受损。从一开始就通过dbt内置血缘或OpenLineage列切面记录列级血缘。
  5. 仅在CI中运行检查点，而非生产环境 - CI验证的是测试数据样本。生产数据的容量、分布和边缘情况是CI测试用例无法覆盖的。仅在CI中通过的检查点会提供虚假的安全感。请在每次生产管道执行时运行检查点，而非仅在PR中。
