## 🚀 Usage

### Basic Usage

```python
import asyncio
from dataguild.source.snowflake.main import SnowflakeV2Source
from dataguild.source.snowflake.config import SnowflakeV2Config
from dataguild.api.common import PipelineContext

async def main():
    # Load configuration
    config = SnowflakeV2Config.from_yaml('snowflake_config.yml')
    
    # Create pipeline context
    ctx = PipelineContext(pipeline_name="snowflake_metadata_extraction")
    
    # Initialize source
source = SnowflakeV2Source(ctx, config)

    # Extract metadata
async for work_unit in source.get_workunits():
    print(f"Processing: {work_unit.entity.name}")
        print(f"Type: {work_unit.entity.type}")
        print(f"Description: {work_unit.entity.description}")
        print("---")

# Run the extraction
asyncio.run(main())
```

### Advanced Usage with AI Intelligence

```python
import asyncio
from dataguild.source.snowflake.main import SnowflakeV2Source
from dataguild.source.snowflake.config import SnowflakeV2Config
from dataguild.api.common import PipelineContext
from dataguild.ai.intelligent_extractor import DataGuildIntelligentExtractor

async def advanced_extraction():
    # Load configuration with AI enabled
    config = SnowflakeV2Config.from_yaml('snowflake_config.yml')
    config.enable_ai_intelligence = True
    
    # Create pipeline context
    ctx = PipelineContext(pipeline_name="ai_powered_extraction")
    
    # Initialize AI-powered source
    source = SnowflakeV2Source(ctx, config)
    
    # Initialize AI extractor
    ai_extractor = DataGuildIntelligentExtractor(
        model_name="gemma-7b-it",
        api_key="your-ai-api-key"
    )
    
    # Extract metadata with AI intelligence
    async for work_unit in source.get_workunits():
        # AI-powered metadata enhancement
        enhanced_metadata = await ai_extractor.enhance_metadata(work_unit)
        
        print(f"Enhanced: {enhanced_metadata.entity.name}")
        print(f"AI Description: {enhanced_metadata.entity.description}")
        print(f"Data Classification: {enhanced_metadata.entity.data_classification}")
        print("---")

asyncio.run(advanced_extraction())
```

### REST API Integration

```python
from dataguild.emitter.dataguild_rest_emitter import DataGuildRestEmitter, DataGuildRestEmitterConfig
from dataguild.emitter.mcp import MetadataChangeProposal, AspectType

# Configure REST emitter
rest_config = DataGuildRestEmitterConfig(
    server_url="https://api.dataguild.com",
    token="your-api-token",
    batch_size=100,
    retry_max_times=3
)

# Initialize emitter
emitter = DataGuildRestEmitter(rest_config)

# Create metadata change proposal
mcp = MetadataChangeProposal(
    entityType="dataset",
    changeType="UPSERT",
    entityUrn="urn:li:dataset:(snowflake,PROD_DB.PUBLIC.CUSTOMERS,PROD)",
    aspectName=AspectType.DATASET_PROPERTIES.value,
    aspect={
        "name": "CUSTOMERS",
        "description": "Customer data table with PII information",
        "customProperties": {
            "owner": "data-team@company.com",
            "pii": "true",
            "retention_days": "2555",
            "data_classification": "confidential"
        }
    }
)

# Emit to REST API
await emitter.emit_async(mcp)
```

## 📊 Performance Monitoring

```python
from dataguild.utilities.performance_monitor import PerformanceMonitor

# Initialize performance monitor
monitor = PerformanceMonitor()

# Monitor extraction performance
with monitor.timer("metadata_extraction"):
    async for work_unit in source.get_workunits():
        # Process work unit
        pass

# Get performance metrics
metrics = monitor.get_metrics("metadata_extraction")
print(f"Average time: {metrics.get_average_time():.2f}s")
print(f"Total calls: {metrics.call_count}")
print(f"Success rate: {metrics.get_success_rate():.2%}")
```
