| scan_jsonl.py |
| ============= |
| |
| Stream a JSONL corpus file and print analytics. Designed for axolotl-style |
| 'completion' corpora where each line is a JSON object with at least a `text` |
| field. Streams line-by-line so it handles 10+ GB files without OOM. |
| |
| Usage |
| ----- |
| # Default report (heuristic token estimate: chars / 4) |
| python scan_jsonl.py corpus.jsonl |
| |
| # Machine-readable |
| python scan_jsonl.py corpus.jsonl --json |
| |
| # Smoke-test on first N lines |
| python scan_jsonl.py corpus.jsonl --sample 10000 |
| |
| # Different field name |
| python scan_jsonl.py corpus.jsonl --field content |
| |
| # Accurate token count via a HF tokenizer (slow but precise) |
| python scan_jsonl.py corpus.jsonl --tokenizer ibm-granite/granite-4.1-8b |
| |
| Output |
| ------ |
| Human-readable report by default. Covers: |
| * File-level stats (size, lines, invalid) |
| * Article-length stats (mean/median/std/min/max + p1..p99 percentiles) |
| * Length-bucket histogram |
| * Token estimate (heuristic or real) |
| * Wall-clock throughput |
| |
| Stdlib only by default. `transformers` only required when --tokenizer is set. |
