append(other, axis=0)[source]

Append other to self, either vertically (axis=0, length of resulting SegArray increases), or horizontally (axis=1, each sub-array of other appends to the corresponding sub-array of self).

Parameters:
  • other (SegArray) – Array of sub-arrays to append

  • axis (0 or 1) – Whether to append vertically (0) or horizontally (1). If axis=1, other must be same size as self.

Return type:

SegArray

Concatenate a sequence of SegArrays

Parameters:
  • x (sequence of SegArray) – The SegArrays to concatenate

  • axis (0 or 1) – Select vertical (0) or horizontal (1) concatenation. If axis=1, all SegArrays must have same size.

register(user_defined_name)[source]

Register this SegArray object and underlying components with the Arkouda server

Parameters:

user_defined_name (str) – user defined name which this SegArray object will be registered under

Returns:

The same SegArray which is now registered with the arkouda server and has an updated name. This is an in-place modification, the original is returned to support a fluid programming style. Please note you cannot register two different SegArrays with the same name.

Return type:

SegArray

Raises:

RegistrationError – Raised if the server could not register the SegArray object

Notes

Objects registered with the server are immune to deletion until they are unregistered.

Parameters:

return_multiplicity (bool) – If True, also return the number of times each value was repeated.

Returns:

save(prefix_path, dataset='segarray', mode='truncate', file_type='distribute')[source]

DEPRECATED Save the SegArray to HDF5. The object can be saved to a collection of files or single file. :param prefix_path: Directory and filename prefix that all output files share :type prefix_path: str :param dataset: Name of the dataset to create in files (must not already exist) :type dataset: str :param mode: By default, truncate (overwrite) output files, if they exist.

If ‘append’, attempt to create new dataset in existing files.

Parameters:

file_type (str ("single" | "distribute")) – Default: “distribute” When set to single, dataset is written to a single file. When distribute, dataset is written on a file per locale. This is only supported by HDF5 files and will have no impact of Parquet Files.

Return type:

string message indicating result of save operation

Raises:

RuntimeError – Raised if a server-side error is thrown saving the pdarray

Notes

  • The prefix_path must be visible to the arkouda server and the user must

have write permission. - Output files have names of the form <prefix_path>_LOCALE<i>, where <i> ranges from 0 to numLocales for file_type=’distribute’. Otherwise, the file name will be prefix_path. - If any of the output files already exist and the mode is ‘truncate’, they will be overwritten. If the mode is ‘append’ and the number of output files is less than the number of locales or a dataset with the same name already exists, a RuntimeError will result. - Any file extension can be used.The file I/O does not rely on the extension to determine the file format.

to_parquet(prefix_path, dataset='segarray', mode: str = 'truncate', compression: str | None = None)[source]

Save the SegArray object to Parquet. The result is a collection of files, one file per locale of the arkouda server, where each filename starts with prefix_path. Each locale saves its chunk of the object to its corresponding file. :param prefix_path: Directory and filename prefix that all output files share :type prefix_path: str :param dataset: Name of the dataset to create in files (must not already exist) :type dataset: str :param mode: Deprecated.

Parameter kept to maintain functionality of other calls. Only Truncate supported. By default, truncate (overwrite) output files, if they exist. If ‘append’, attempt to create new dataset in existing files.

Parameters:

compression (str (Optional)) – (None | “snappy” | “gzip” | “brotli” | “zstd” | “lz4”) Sets the compression type used with Parquet files

Return type:

string message indicating result of save operation

Raises:
  • RuntimeError – Raised if a server-side error is thrown saving the pdarray

  • ValueError – If write mode is not Truncate.

Notes

  • Append mode for Parquet has been deprecated. It was not implemented for SegArray.

  • The prefix_path must be visible to the arkouda server and the user must

have write permission. - Output files have names of the form <prefix_path>_LOCALE<i>, where <i> ranges from 0 to numLocales for file_type=’distribute’. - If any of the output files already exist and the mode is ‘truncate’, they will be overwritten. If the mode is ‘append’ and the number of output files is less than the number of locales or a dataset with the same name already exists, a RuntimeError will result. - Any file extension can be used.The file I/O does not rely on the extension to determine the file format.

transfer(hostname: str, port: arkouda.dtypes.int_scalars)[source]

Sends a Segmented Array to a different Arkouda server

Parameters:
  • hostname (str) – The hostname where the Arkouda server intended to receive the Segmented Array is running.

  • port (int_scalars) – The port to send the array over. This needs to be an open port (i.e., not one that the Arkouda server is running on). This will open up numLocales ports, each of which in succession, so will use ports of the range {port..(port+numLocales)} (e.g., running an Arkouda server of 4 nodes, port 1234 is passed as port, Arkouda will use ports 1234, 1235, 1236, and 1237 to send the array data). This port much match the port passed to the call to ak.receive_array().

Return type:

A message indicating a complete transfer

Raises:
  • ValueError – Raised if the op is not within the pdarray.BinOps set

  • TypeError – Raised if other is not a pdarray or the pdarray.dtype is not a supported dtype

union(other)[source]

Computes the union of 2 SegArrays.

Parameters:

other (SegArray) – SegArray to compute against

Returns:

Segments are the 1d union of the segments of self and other

Return type:

SegArray

See also

pdarraysetops.union1d

Examples

>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 1, 4]
>>> b = [3, 1, 4, 5]
>>> c = [1, 3, 3, 5]
>>> d = [2, 2, 4]
>>> seg_a = ak.segarray(ak.array([0, len(a)]), ak.array(a+b))
>>> seg_b = ak.segarray(ak.array([0, len(c)]), ak.array(c+d))
>>> seg_a.union(seg_b)
SegArray([
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
])
unique(x=None)[source]

Return sub-arrays of unique values.

Parameters:

x (pdarray) – The values to unique, per group. By default, the values of this SegArray’s sub-arrays.

Returns:

Same number of sub-arrays as original SegArray, but elements in sub-array are unique and in sorted order.

Return type:

SegArray

unregister()[source]

Unregister this SegArray object in the arkouda server which was previously registered using register() and/or attached to using attach()

Return type:

None

Raises:

RuntimeError – Raised if the server could not unregister the SegArray object from the Symbol Table

Notes

Objects registered with the server are immune to deletion until they are unregistered.

static unregister_segarray_by_name(user_defined_name)[source]

Using the defined name, remove the registered SegArray object from the Symbol Table

Parameters:

user_defined_name (str) – user defined name which the SegArray object was registered under

Return type:

None

Raises:

RuntimeError – Raised if the server could not unregister the SegArray object from the Symbol Table

update_hdf(prefix_path: str, dataset: str = 'segarray', repack: bool = True)[source]

Overwrite the dataset with the name provided with this SegArray object. If the dataset does not exist it is added.

Parameters:
  • prefix_path (str) – Directory and filename prefix that all output files share

  • dataset (str) – Name of the dataset to create in files

  • repack (bool) – Default: True HDF5 does not release memory on delete. When True, the inaccessible data (that was overwritten) is removed. When False, the data remains, but is inaccessible. Setting to false will yield better performance, but will cause file sizes to expand.

Return type:

None

Raises:

RuntimeError – Raised if a server-side error is thrown saving the SegArray

Notes

  • If file does not contain File_Format attribute to indicate how it was saved, the file name is checked for _LOCALE#### to determine if it is distributed.

  • If the dataset provided does not exist, it will be added

  • Because HDF5 deletes do not release memory, this will create a copy of the file with the new data
