deephaven.table

This module implements the Table, PartitionedTable and PartitionedTableProxy classes which are the main instruments for working with Deephaven refreshing and static data.

class MultiJoinInput(table, on, joins=None)[source]

Bases: JObjectWrapper

A MultiJoinInput represents the input tables, key columns and additional columns to be used in the multi-table natural join.

Creates a new MultiJoinInput containing the table to include for the join, the key columns from the table to match with other table keys plus additional columns containing data from the table. Rows containing unique keys will be added to the output table, otherwise the data from these columns will be added to the existing output rows.

Parameters:
  • table (Table) – the right table to include in the join

  • on (Union[str, Sequence[str]]) – the column(s) to match, can be a common name or an equal expression, i.e. “col_a = col_b” for different column names

  • joins (Union[str, Sequence[str]], optional) – the column(s) to be added from the this table to the result table, can be renaming expressions, i.e. “new_col = col”; default is None

Raises:

DHError

j_object_type

alias of MultiJoinInput

class MultiJoinTable(input, on=None)[source]

Bases: JObjectWrapper

A MultiJoinTable is an object that contains the result of a multi-table natural join. To retrieve the underlying result Table, use the table() method.

Creates a new MultiJoinTable. The join can be specified in terms of either tables or MultiJoinInputs.

Parameters:
  • input (Union[Table, Sequence[Table], MultiJoinInput, Sequence[MultiJoinInput]]) – the input objects specifying the tables and columns to include in the join.

  • on (Union[str, Sequence[str]], optional) – the column(s) to match, can be a common name or an equality expression that matches every input table, i.e. “col_a = col_b” to rename output column names. Note: When MultiJoinInput objects are supplied, this parameter must be omitted.

Raises:

DHError

j_object_type

alias of MultiJoinTable

table()[source]

Returns the Table containing the multi-table natural join output.

Return type:

class NodeType(value)[source]

Bases: Enum

An enum of node types for RollupTable

AGGREGATED = io.deephaven.engine.table.hierarchical.RollupTable$NodeType(objectRef=0x559ec437dc62)

Nodes at an aggregated (rolled up) level in the RollupTable. An aggregated level is above the constituent ( leaf) level. These nodes have column names and types that result from applying aggregations on the source table of the RollupTable.

CONSTITUENT = io.deephaven.engine.table.hierarchical.RollupTable$NodeType(objectRef=0x559ec437dc6a)

Nodes at the leaf level when rollup() method is called with include_constituent=True. The constituent level is the lowest in a rollup table. These nodes have column names and types from the source table of the RollupTable.

class PartitionedTable(j_partitioned_table)[source]

Bases: JObjectWrapper

A partitioned table is a table containing tables, known as constituent tables. Each constituent table has the same schema.

The partitioned table contains: 1. one column containing constituent tables 2. key columns (optional) 3. non-key columns (optional)

Key values can be used to retrieve constituent tables from the partitioned table and can be used to perform operations with other like-keyed partitioned tables.

property constituent_changes_permitted

Can the constituents of the underlying partitioned table change? Specifically, can the values of the constituent column change?

If constituent changes are not permitted, the underlying partitioned table: 1. has no adds 2. has no removes 3. has no shifts 4. has no modifies that include the constituent column

Note, it is possible for constituent changes to not be permitted even if constituent tables are refreshing or if the underlying partitioned table is refreshing. Also note that the underlying partitioned table must be refreshing if it contains any refreshing constituents.

property constituent_column

The name of the column containing constituent tables.

property constituent_table_columns

The column definitions for constituent tables. All constituent tables in a partitioned table have the same column definitions.

property constituent_table_definition

The table definitions for constituent tables. All constituent tables in a partitioned table have the same table definitions.

property constituent_tables

Returns all the current constituent tables.

filter(filters)[source]

classmethod from_constituent_tables(tables, constituent_table_columns=None)[source]

Creates a PartitionedTable with a single column named ‘__CONSTITUENT__’ containing the provided constituent tables.

The result PartitionedTable has no key columns, and both its unique_keys and constituent_changes_permitted properties are set to False. When constituent_table_definition isn’t provided, it will be set to the table definitions of the first table in the provided constituent tables.

Parameters:
  • tables (List[Table]) – the constituent tables

  • constituent_table_columns (Optional[TableDefinitionLike]) – the table definition compatible with all the constituent tables, default is None

Return type:

classmethod from_partitioned_table(table, key_cols=None, unique_keys=None, constituent_column=None, constituent_table_columns=None, constituent_changes_permitted=None)[source]

Creates a PartitionedTable from the provided underlying partitioned Table.

Note: key_cols, unique_keys, constituent_column, constituent_table_definition, constituent_changes_permitted must either be all None or all have values. When they are None, their values will be inferred as follows:

* key_cols: the names of all columns with a non-Table data type
* unique_keys: False
* constituent_column: the name of the first column with a Table data type
* constituent_table_definition: the table definitions of the first cell (constituent table) in the constituent column. Consequently, the constituent column can’t be empty.
* constituent_changes_permitted: the value of table.is_refreshing
Parameters:
  • table (Table) – the underlying partitioned table

  • key_cols (Union[str, List[str]]) – the key column name(s) of ‘table’

a Table

Raises:

DHError

partitioned_transform(other, func, dependencies=None)[source]

Join the underlying partitioned Tables from this PartitionedTable and other on the key columns, then apply the provided function to all pairs of constituent Tables with the same keys in order to produce a new PartitionedTable with the results as its constituents, with the same data for all other columns in the underlying partitioned Table from this.

Note that if the Tables underlying this PartitionedTable or other change, a corresponding change will propagate to the result.

Parameters:
  • other (PartitionedTable) – the other Partitioned table whose constituent tables will be passed in as the 2nd argument to the provided function

  • func (Callable[[Table, Table], Table]) – a function which takes two Tables as input and returns a new Table

  • dependencies (Optional[Sequence[Union[Table, PartitionedTable]]]) – additional dependencies that must be satisfied before applying the provided transform function to added, modified, or newly-matched constituents during update processing. If the transform function uses any other refreshing Table or refreshing Partitioned Table, they must be included in this argument. Defaults to None.

Return type:

PartitionedTable

Returns:

a PartitionedTable

Raises:

DHError

proxy(require_matching_keys=True, sanity_check_joins=True)[source]

Makes a proxy that allows table operations to be applied to the constituent tables of this PartitionedTable.

If the other table argument is also a PartitionedTableProxy, its constituents will also be subjected to this constraint.

Return type:

PartitionedTableProxy

sort(order_by, order=None)[source]

The sort method creates a new partitioned table where the rows are ordered based on values in a specified set of columns. Sort can not use the constituent column.

iter_chunk_dict(cols=None, chunk_size=2048)[source]

Returns a generator that reads one chunk of rows at a time from the table into a dictionary. The dictionary is a map of column names to numpy arrays of the column data type.

If the table is refreshing and no update graph locks are currently being held, the generator will try to acquire the shared lock of the update graph before reading the table data. This provides a consistent view of the data. The side effect of this is that the table will not be able to refresh while the table is being iterated on. Additionally, the generator internally maintains a fill context. The auto acquired shared lock and the fill context will be released after the generator is destroyed. That can happen implicitly when the generator is used in a for-loop. When the generator is not used in a for-loop, to prevent resource leaks, it must be closed after use by either (1) setting it to None, (2) using the del statement, or (3) calling the close() method on it.

Parameters:
  • cols (Optional[Union[str, Sequence[str]]]) – The columns to read. If None, all columns are read.

  • chunk_size (int) – The number of rows to read at a time. Default is 2048.

Return type:

ValueError

iter_chunk_tuple(cols=None, tuple_name='Deephaven', chunk_size=2048)[source]

Returns a generator that reads one chunk of rows at a time from the table into a named tuple. The named tuple is made up of fields with their names being the column names and their values being numpy arrays of the column data types.

If the table is refreshing and no update graph locks are currently being held, the generator will try to acquire the shared lock of the update graph before reading the table data. This provides a consistent view of the data. The side effect of this is that the table will not be able to refresh while the table is being iterated on. Additionally, the generator internally maintains a fill context. The auto acquired shared lock and the fill context will be released after the generator is destroyed. That can happen implicitly when the generator is used in a for-loop. When the generator is not used in a for-loop, to prevent resource leaks, it must be closed after use by either (1) setting it to None, (2) using the del statement, or (3) calling the close() method on it.

Parameters:
  • cols (Optional[Union[str, Sequence[str]]]) – The columns to read. If None, all columns are read.

  • tuple_name (str) – The name of the named tuple. Default is ‘Deephaven’.

Raises:

ValueError

iter_dict(cols=None, *, chunk_size=2048)[source]

Returns a generator that reads one row at a time from the table into a dictionary. The dictionary is a map of column names to scalar values of the column data type.

If the table is refreshing and no update graph locks are currently being held, the generator will try to acquire the shared lock of the update graph before reading the table data. This provides a consistent view of the data. The side effect of this is that the table will not be able to refresh while the table is being iterated on. Additionally, the generator internally maintains a fill context. The auto acquired shared lock and the fill context will be released after the generator is destroyed. That can happen implicitly when the generator is used in a for-loop. When the generator is not used in a for-loop, to prevent resource leaks, it must be closed after use by either (1) setting it to None, (2) using the del statement, or (3) calling the close() method on it.

Parameters:
  • cols (Optional[Union[str, Sequence[str]]]) – The columns to read. If None, all columns are read.

  • chunk_size (int) – The number of rows to read at a time internally to reduce the number of Java/Python boundary crossings. Default is 2048.

Return type:

Generator[Dict[str, Any], None, None]

Returns:

A generator that yields a dictionary of column names to scalar values.

Raises:

ValueError

iter_tuple(cols=None, *, tuple_name='Deephaven', chunk_size=2048)[source]

Returns a generator that reads one row at a time from the table into a named tuple. The named tuple is made up of fields with their names being the column names and their values being of the column data types.

If there is no matching key in the right table, appended row values are NULL.

Parameters:
  • table (Table) – the right-table of the join

  • on (Union[str, Sequence[str]]) – the column(s) to match, can be a common name or a match condition of two columns, e.g. ‘col_a = col_b’. The first ‘N-1’ matches are exact matches. The final match is an inexact match. The inexact match can use either ‘<’ or ‘<=’. If a common name is used for the inexact match, ‘<=’ is used for the comparison.

  • joins (Union[str, Sequence[str]], optional) – the column(s) to be added from the right table to the result table, can be renaming expressions, i.e. “new_col = col”; default is None

Return type:

Table

Returns:

a new table

Raises:

DHError

range_join(table, on, aggs)[source]

The range_join method creates a new table containing all the rows and columns of the left table, plus additional columns containing aggregated data from the right table. For columns appended to the left table (joins), cell values equal aggregations over vectors of values from the right table. These vectors are formed from all values in the right table where the right table keys fall within the ranges of keys defined by the left table (responsive ranges).

range_join is a join plus aggregation that (1) joins arrays of data from the right table onto the left table, and then (2) aggregates over the joined data. Oftentimes this is used to join data for a particular time range from the right table onto the left table.

Rows from the right table with null or NaN key values are discarded; that is, they are never included in the vectors used for aggregation. For all rows that are not discarded, the right table must be sorted according to the right range column for all rows within a group.

Join key ranges, specified by the ‘on’ argument, are defined by zero-or-more exact join matches and a single range join match. The range join match must be the last match in the list.

The exact match expressions are parsed as in other join operations. That is, they are either a column name common to both tables or a column name from the left table followed by an equals sign followed by a column name from the right table. .. rubric:: Examples

Match on the same column name in both tables:

“common_column”

Match on different column names in each table:

“left_column = right_column” or “left_column == right_column”

The range match expression is expressed as a ternary logical expression, expressing the relationship between the left start column, the right range column, and the left end column. Each column name pair is separated by a logical operator, either < or <=. Additionally, the entire expression may be preceded by a left arrow <- and/or followed by a right arrow ->. The arrows indicate that range match can ‘allow preceding’ or ‘allow following’ to match values outside the explicit range. ‘Allow preceding’ means that if no matching right range column value is equal to the left start column value, the immediately preceding matching right row should be included in the aggregation if such a row exists. ‘Allow following’ means that if no matching right range column value is equal to the left end column value, the immediately following matching right row should be included in the aggregation if such a row exists. .. rubric:: Examples

For less than paired with greater than:

“left_start_column < right_range_column < left_end_column”

For less than or equal paired with greater than or equal:

“left_start_column <= right_range_column <= left_end_column”

For less than or equal (allow preceding) paired with greater than or equal (allow following):

“<- left_start_column <= right_range_column <= left_end_column ->”

Special Cases

In order to produce aggregated output, range match expressions must define a range of values to aggregate over. There are a few noteworthy special cases of ranges.

Empty Range An empty range occurs for any left row with no matching right rows. That is, no non-null, non-NaN right rows were found using the exact join matches, or none were in range according to the range join match.

Single-value Ranges A single-value range is a range where the left row’s values for the left start column and left end column are equal and both relative matches are inclusive (<= and >=, respectively). For a single-value range, only rows within the bucket where the right range column matches the single value are included in the output aggregations.

Invalid Ranges An invalid range occurs in two scenarios:

  1. When the range is inverted, i.e., when the value of the left start column is greater than the value of the left end column.

  2. When either relative-match is exclusive (< or >) and the value in the left start column is equal to the value in the left end column.

For invalid ranges, the result row will be null for all aggregation output columns.

Undefined Ranges An undefined range occurs when either the left start column or the left end column is NaN. For rows with an undefined range, the corresponding output values will be null (as with invalid ranges).

Unbounded Ranges A partially or fully unbounded range occurs when either the left start column or the left end column is null. If the left start column value is null and the left end column value is non-null, the range is unbounded at the beginning, and only the left end column subexpression will be used for the match. If the left start column value is non-null and the left end column value is null, the range is unbounded at the end, and only the left start column subexpression will be used for the match. If the left start column and left end column values are null, the range is unbounded, and all rows will be included.

Note: At this time, implementations only support static tables. This operation remains under active development.

Parameters:
  • table (Table) – the right table of the join

  • on (Union[str, List[str]]) – the match expression(s) that must include zero-or-more exact match expression, and exactly one range match expression as described above

  • aggs (Union[Aggregation, List[Aggregation]]) – the aggregation(s) to perform over the responsive ranges from the right table for each row from this Table

Return type:

Note some aggregations can not be used in creating a rollup tables, these include: group, partition, median, pct, weighted_avg

Parameters:
  • aggs (Union[Aggregation, Sequence[Aggregation]]) – the aggregation(s)

  • by (Union[str, Sequence[str]]) – the group-by column name(s), default is None

  • include_constituents (bool) – whether to include the constituent rows at the leaf level, default is False

Return type:

RollupTable

Returns:

a new RollupTable

Raises:

DHError

select(formulas=None)[source]

The select method creates a new in-memory table that includes one column for each formula. If no formula is specified, all columns will be included.

Returns:

a new table

Raises:

DHError

select_distinct(formulas=None)[source]

The select_distinct method creates a new table containing all the unique values for a set of key columns. When the selectDistinct method is used on multiple columns, it looks for distinct sets of values in the selected columns.

Parameters:

formulas (Union[str, Sequence[str]], optional) – the column name(s), default is None

Return type:

Table

Returns:

a new table

Raises:

DHError

property size

The current number of rows in the table.

slice(start, stop)[source]

Extracts a subset of a table by row positions into a new Table.

If both the start and the stop are positive, then both are counted from the beginning of the table. The start is inclusive, and the stop is exclusive. slice(0, N) is equivalent to head() (N) The start must be less than or equal to the stop.

If the start is positive and the stop is negative, then the start is counted from the beginning of the table, inclusively. The stop is counted from the end of the table. For example, slice(1, -1) includes all rows but the first and last. If the stop is before the start, the result is an empty table.

If the start is negative, and the stop is zero, then the start is counted from the end of the table, and the end of the slice is the size of the table. slice(-N, 0) is equivalent to tail() (N).

If the start is negative and the stop is negative, they are both counted from the end of the table. For example, slice(-2, -1) returns the second to last row of the table.

Parameters:
  • start (int) – the first row position to include in the result

  • stop (int) – the last row position to include in the result

Return type:

Table

Returns:

a new Table

Raises:

DHError

slice_pct(start_pct, end_pct)[source]

Extracts a subset of a table by row percentages.

Returns a subset of table in the range [floor(start_pct * size_of_table), floor(end_pct * size_of_table)). For example, for a table of size 10, slice_pct(0.1, 0.7) will return a subset from the second row to the seventh row. Similarly, slice_pct(0, 1) would return the entire table (because row positions run from 0 to size - 1). The percentage arguments must be in range [0, 1], otherwise the function returns an error.

Parameters:
  • start_pct (float) – the starting percentage point (inclusive) for rows to include in the result, range [0, 1]

  • end_pct (float) – the ending percentage point (exclusive) for rows to include in the result, range [0, 1]

Return type:

Table

Returns:

a new table

Raises:

DHError

snapshot()[source]

Returns a static snapshot table.

Return type:

Table

Returns:

a new table

Raises:

DHError

snapshot_when(trigger_table, stamp_cols=None, initial=False, incremental=False, history=False)[source]

Returns a table that captures a snapshot of this table whenever trigger_table updates.

When trigger_table updates, a snapshot of this table and the “stamp key” from trigger_table form the resulting table. The “stamp key” is the last row of the trigger_table, limited by the stamp_cols. If trigger_table is empty, the “stamp key” will be represented by NULL values.

Note: the trigger_table must be append-only when the history flag is set to True. If the trigger_table is not append-only and has modified or removed rows in its updates, the result snapshot table will be put in a failure state and become unusable.

Parameters:
  • trigger_table (Table) – the trigger table

  • stamp_cols (Union[str, Sequence[str]) – The columns from trigger_table that form the “stamp key”, may be renames. None, or empty, means that all columns from trigger_table form the “stamp key”.

  • initial (bool) – Whether to take an initial snapshot upon construction, default is False. When False, the resulting table will remain empty until trigger_table first updates.

  • incremental (bool) – Whether the resulting table should be incremental, default is False. When False, all rows of this table will have the latest “stamp key”. When True, only the rows of this table that have been added or updated will have the latest “stamp key”.

  • history (bool) – Whether the resulting table should keep history, default is False. A history table appends a full snapshot of this table and the “stamp key” as opposed to updating existing rows. The history flag is currently incompatible with initial and incremental: when history is True, incremental and initial must be False.

Return type:

Table

Returns:

a new table

Raises:

DHError

sort(order_by, order=None)[source]

multi_join(input, on=None)[source]

The multi_join method creates a new table by performing a multi-table natural join on the input tables. The result consists of the set of distinct keys from the input tables natural joined to each input table. Input tables need not have a matching row for each key, but they may not have multiple matching rows for a given key.

Parameters:

table_diff(t1, t2, max_diffs=1, floating_comparison='exact', ignore_column_order=False)[source]

Returns the differences between this table and the provided table as a string. If the two tables are the same, an empty string is returned. The differences are returned in a human-readable format.

This method starts by comparing the table sizes, and then the schema of the two tables, such as the number of columns, column names, column types, column orders. If the schemas are different, the comparison stops and the differences are returned. If the schemas are the same, the method proceeds to compare the data in the tables. The method compares the data in the tables column by column (not row by row) and only records the first difference found in each column.

Note, inexact comparison of floating numbers may sometimes be desirable due to their inherent imprecision. When that is the case, the floating_comparison should be set to either ‘absolute’ or ‘relative’. When it is set to ‘absolute’, the absolute value of the difference between two floating numbers is used to compare against a threshold. The threshold is set to 0.0001 for Doubles and 0.005 for Floats. Only differences that are greater than the threshold are recorded. When floating_comparison is set to ‘relative’, the relative difference between two floating numbers is used to compare against the threshold. The relative difference is calculated as the absolute difference divided by the smaller absolute value between the two numbers.

Parameters:
  • t1 (Table) – the table to compare

  • t2 (Table) – the table to compare against

  • max_diffs (int) – the maximum number of differences to return, default is 1

  • floating_comparison (Literal['exact', 'absolute', 'relative']) – the type of comparison to use for floating numbers, default is ‘exact’

  • ignore_column_order (bool) – whether columns that exist in both tables but in different orders are treated as differences. False indicates that column order matters (default), and True indicates that column order does not matter.

Return type:

str

Returns:

string

Raises:

DHError
