transform

The transform method applies the supplied transformer to all constituent tables and produces a new PartitionedTable containing the results.

Note

If no ExecutionContext is provided, the transformer will be executed in the enclosing ExecutionContext. In this case, the method will expect the transformer to produce refreshing results if and only if this PartitionedTable's underlying table is refreshing.

Syntax

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
transformerBinaryOperator<Table>

The BinaryOperator to apply to all pairs of constituent tables.

dependenciesNotificationQueue.Dependency...

Additional dependencies that must be satisfied before applying transformer to added, modified, or newly-matched constituents during update processing; use this when transformer uses additional Table or PartitionedTable inputs besides the constituents of this or other.

executionContextExecutionContext

The ExecutionContext to use for the transformer. If provided, the transformer must be stateless, safe for concurrent use, and able to return a valid result for an empty input table.

expectRefreshingResultsboolean

Whether to expect the results of applying transformer to be refreshing. If true, the resulting PartitionedTable will always be backed by a refreshing table. This hint is important for transforms to static inputs that might produce refreshing output, in order to ensure correct liveness management; incorrectly specifying false will result in exceptions.

Returns

A new PartitionedTable containing the results of applying transformer to all constituent tables.

Examples

In this example, we create a table with five rows and two columns, IntCol and StrCol. We then partition the table by IntCol and apply a transformation that adds one to the IntCol values, renaming the resulting column to IntCol2. Finally, we retrieve the third constituent table.

In this example, we create a table with 100 rows and three columns, Sym, X, and Y. We then partition the table by Sym and apply aggregations to the partitioned table. Finally, we retrieve the constituent table for symbol A.
