refactor: modernize codebase with modular architecture and improved maintainability
Summary
Comprehensive refactor of the csv2table codebase to improve maintainability, readability, and follow modern Python best practices while preserving 100% backward compatibility.
Changes Made
Code Structure Improvements
-
Modular Architecture: Split monolithic script into focused classes (
TypeDetector,RedshiftManager,CSVAnalyzer,SQLGenerator) -
Configuration Management: Introduced
ConfigandRedshiftConfigdataclasses for clean parameter handling - Type Safety: Added comprehensive type hints throughout the codebase
- Modern Python: Leveraged dataclasses, enums, pathlib, and context managers
Code Quality Enhancements
- Reduced LOC: Decreased from ~650 to ~450 lines while maintaining all functionality
- Eliminated Globals: Removed global state and variables for better testability
- Error Handling: Improved validation and error messages
- Documentation: Enhanced inline documentation and code organization
Preserved Functionality
- ✅ All command-line arguments and behavior unchanged
- ✅ Complete Redshift/S3 integration maintained
- ✅ Type detection algorithms preserved
- ✅ PostgreSQL and Redshift compatibility intact
- ✅ All CSV parsing capabilities retained
Technical Improvements
-
Better Abstractions: Used
pathlib.Pathfor file operations,defaultdictfor counters - Cleaner Logic: Consolidated duplicate patterns, simplified control flow
- Memory Efficiency: Maintained streaming CSV processing
- Separation of Concerns: Clear boundaries between analysis, generation, and AWS operations
Testing
- [x] Verified all examples from README work identically
- [x] Tested PostgreSQL DDL generation
- [x] Tested Redshift COPY commands with S3
- [x] Validated type detection accuracy
- [x] Confirmed backward compatibility
Breaking Changes
None - this is a pure refactor maintaining identical CLI behavior and output.
Benefits
- Maintainability: Easier to understand, modify, and extend
- Testability: Modular design enables better unit testing
- Readability: Clear class responsibilities and modern Python patterns
- Performance: Reduced complexity without sacrificing functionality
- Future-Proof: Better foundation for new features
The refactored code follows expert Python practices while preserving the tool's reliability and feature completeness that users depend on.
