rx_exec_by

Usage

revoscalepy.rx_exec_by(input_data: typing.Union[revoscalepy.datasource.RxDataSource.RxDataSource,
    pandas.core.frame.DataFrame, str], keys: typing.List[str] = None,
    function: typing.Callable = None,
    function_parameters: dict = None,
    filter_function: typing.Callable = None,
    compute_context: revoscalepy.computecontext.RxComputeContext.RxComputeContext = None,
    **kwargs) -> revoscalepy.functions.RxExecBy.RxExecByResults

Description

Partition input data source by keys and apply a user-defined function on individual partitions. If the input data source is already partitioned, apply a user-defined function directly on the partitions. Currently supported in local, localpar, RxInSqlServer and RxSpark compute contexts.

Arguments

input_data

A data source object supported in currently active compute context, e.g. ‘RxSqlServerData’ for ‘RxInSqlServer’. In ‘RxLocalSeq’ and ‘RxLocalParallel’, a character string specifying a ‘.xdf’ file, or a data frame object can be also used. If a Spark compute context is being used, this argument may also be an RxHiveData, RxOrcData, RxParquetData or RxSparkDataFrame object or a Spark data frame object from pyspark.sql.DataFrame.

keys

List of strings of variable names to be used for partitioning the input data set.

function

The user function to be executed. The user function takes ‘keys’ and ‘data’ as two required input arguments where ‘keys’ determines the partitioning values and ‘data’ is a data source object of the corresponding partition. ‘data’ can be a RxXdfData object or a RxODBCData object, which can be transformed to a pandas data frame by using rx_data_step. ‘keys’ is a dict where keys of the dict are variable names and values are variable values of the partition. The nodes or cores on which it is running are determined by the currently active compute context.

function_parameters

A dict which defines a list of additional arguments for the user function func.

filter_function

An user function that takes a Panda data frame of keys/values as an input argument, applies filter to the keys/values and returns a data frame containing rows whose keys/values satisfy the filter conditions. The input data frame has similar format to the results returned by rx_partition which comprises of partitioning variables and an additional variable of partition data source. This filter_function allows user to control what data partitions to be applied by the user function ‘function’. ‘filter_function’ currently is not supported in RxHadoopMR and RxSpark compute contexts.

compute_context

A RxComputeContext object.

kwargs

Additional arguments.

Returns

A RxExecByResults object inherited from dataframe with each row to be the result of each partition. The indexes of dataframe are keys, columns are ‘result’ and ‘status’. ‘result’: the object returned from the user function from each partition. ‘status’: ‘OK’, if the user function on each partition runs success, otherwise, the exception object.
