to_timedelta

to_timedelta converts a Java time duration to a datetime.timedelta.

danger

Avoid deephaven.time functions in query strings. Because deephaven.time provides functions that convert between Python and Java types, every call crosses the Python-Java boundary, which slows performance. For more information, see:

• Time in Deephaven
• Java/Python boundary crossings
