Summary

Adds a Java implementation of the Databricks converter alongside the existing Python
reference, and restructures converters/databricks/ to host both languages. The Java library is
the implementation maintained going forward; the Python converter becomes a reference copy slated
for deprecation.

Conversion is unchanged in spirit: pure YAML text in, YAML text out, reading and writing the two
formats as parsed maps and lists. The Java and Python implementations target the same Databricks
Unity Catalog Metric View YAML v1.1 contract, and the checked-in fixtures pin the expected output
for both directions (export: Ossie -> Metric View, import: Metric View -> Ossie).

Changes:

  • Restructure — the existing flat Python converter (src/, tests/, pyproject.toml,
    README.md, uv.lock) moves under converters/databricks/python/ with no content changes,
    making room for the Java tree.
  • Add java/ — the bidirectional converter as a Maven module: library, an
    OssieDatabricksConverter command-line tool, JUnit 5 tests, and YAML fixtures. Package
    org.apache.ossie.converter.databricks, following the conventions of the existing polaris and
    salesforce Java converters (parent org.apache:apache:39; deps SnakeYAML / Jackson / JUnit 5;
    apache-rat-plugin license audit; shade plugin for the executable CLI jar).
  • Add a root README.md describing the two-language layout and pointing at each
    implementation's own README.
  • CI (.github/workflows/converter-databricks-ci.yml) — point the Python job at the new
    python/ working directory, and add a Java job (mvn -B verify, Temurin JDK 21) mirroring
    converter-polaris-ci.yml.

@Haoranli503 I pushed some fixes here. Can you please take a look?

Hi @jbonofre , fixes look good. Thanks! I also pushed one commit addressing some issues we found when we are building native sql support based on the converter. Hope you can review those as well. Also feel free to change.

Hi @jbonofre , let's pause this a bit. I want to add a few more commits to address #321 and #326 and some findings from our sql function bug bash. Will notify you when these are in. Thanks a lot!

Move the Python converter under converters/databricks/python/ (content unchanged) and add a Maven Java module -- library, CLI (OssieDatabricksConverter), JUnit tests, and fixtures under java/, package org.apache.ossie.converter.databricks -- as the maintained implementation. Add a root README describing the two-language layout, and a Java build job (mvn -B verify, JDK 21) in converter-databricks-ci.yml, mirroring the polaris converter.

Replace the Python README's forward-looking 'Future effort' section with a deprecation note: the Java converter under java/ is the maintained implementation; the Python copy is kept for reference and no longer actively extended.

Build:
- maven-shade no longer writes dependency-reduced-pom.xml into the module
  root, where apache-rat failed `mvn verify` on it as an unapproved file
- configure surefire to include **/*Suite.java: the default includes match
  none of the test classes, so the build ran zero tests and still passed
- drop the **/*.md rat exclude and restore the ASF header on both READMEs
- align snakeyaml with the 2.3 that jackson-dataformat-yaml declares

Converter:
- qualifyMeasure matches the whole qualifier run and resolves it from the
  leaf, so an expression that already carries a join path is no longer
  qualified a second time (SUM(customer.customer.region.population))
- de-alias measure qualifiers on import, the inverse of the export rewrite
  and what resolveColumn already did for dimensions
- match dropped names outside string literals when cascading drops, so a
  name that only occurs in a literal no longer drops an unrelated column
- quoteReplacement the stash unicode-escape pass, which halved an escaped
  backslash run instead of re-emitting it verbatim
- notice the ai_context object members and the foreign-vendor extensions
  dropped from a field or a metric
- validate a join source on import with the rule the export applies, so a
  view that imports cleanly is always exportable again

CLI:
- name the directions from the Apache Ossie model's point of view, matching
  the library Javadoc and the Python CLI: export = Ossie -> Metric View
- give each command its own selector flag instead of sharing one field, and
  resolve the command before parsing arguments so --help prints usage
- print to stdout without the extra newline, so stdout and -o agree

Tests:
- generate join-qualified and nested-path measures, and one_to_many
  branches, in the property round-trip suites
- add a regression test per fix, plus a CLI suite (the CLI had none)

…und trip

A dimension's display_name maps to the Ossie Field label, but the Ossie Metric schema has
no label, so a metric view measure's display_name was dropped in the MV -> Ossie -> MV
round trip. Preserve it in the DATABRICKS custom_extensions stash (the same mechanism as
format/window) in MetricViewToOssie.convertMeasure, and restore it in
OssieToMetricView.convertMetric.

Ports apache#326 (landed in Databricks runtime as databricks-eng/runtime#251390).

… complex_joins stash

A Metric View join whose `on` is not an equi-join of simple `alias.column` pairs (a non-equi
operator, a SQL-function-wrapped key, or an extra filter predicate) has no Apache Ossie
relationship form: the relationship schema requires from_columns/to_columns. The converter used
to abort the whole MV -> Ossie conversion on such a join.

Instead of aborting, preserve the join under the model's DATABRICKS custom_extensions
(complex_joins) and warn, rather than emitting a schema-invalid stub relationship with no columns.
The reverse converter merges the stashed joins back into the relationship graph and restores each
raw `on` verbatim, so such a metric view round-trips (nesting and one_to_many included).
Condition-less (cross) joins still have no Apache Ossie representation and are still rejected.

Also preserve an equi-join's original `on` verbatim when rebuilding it from the from/to columns
would not reproduce it (a fact side qualified by the source table name rather than `source`, or an
`on` over equal columns that would rebuild as `using`); canonical joins stash nothing.

Ports apache#321 (landed in Databricks runtime as databricks-eng/runtime#251398).

…g tables

Upstream apache#356 clarified the mapping table (a measure's display_name has no
`label` on the Apache Ossie metric shape, so it rides in the DATABRICKS stash).
The converter restructure turned the top-level README into a short pointer, so
carry that clarification into the mapping tables now in python/README.md and
java/README.md. Both converters stash a measure's display_name (Python via apache#356,
Java via the measure display_name round-trip commit), so the tables match the
behavior.
