78\class ROOT::RDF::RDataSource
79\ingroup dataframe
80\brief RDataSource defines an API that RDataFrame can use to read arbitrary data formats.
81
82A concrete RDataSource implementation (i.e. a class that inherits from RDataSource and implements all of its pure
83methods) provides an adaptor that RDataFrame can leverage to read any kind of tabular data formats.
84RDataFrame calls into RDataSource to retrieve information about the data, retrieve (thread-local) readers or "cursors"
85for selected columns and to advance the readers to the desired data entry.
86
87The sequence of calls that RDataFrame (or any other client of a RDataSource) performs is the following:
88
89 - SetNSlots() : inform RDataSource of the desired level of parallelism
90 - GetColumnReaders() : retrieve from RDataSource per-thread readers for the desired columns
91 - Initialise() : inform RDataSource that an event-loop is about to start
92 - GetEntryRanges() : retrieve from RDataSource a set of ranges of entries that can be processed concurrently
93 - InitSlot() : inform RDataSource that a certain thread is about to start working on a certain range of entries
94 - SetEntry() : inform RDataSource that a certain thread is about to start working on a certain entry
95 - FinaliseSlot() : inform RDataSource that a certain thread finished working on a certain range of entries
96 - Finalise() : inform RDataSource that an event-loop finished
97
98RDataSource implementations must support running multiple event-loops consecutively (although sequentially) on the same dataset.
99 - \b SetNSlots() is called once per RDataSource object, typically when it is associated to a RDataFrame.
100 - \b GetColumnReaders() can be called several times, potentially with the same arguments, also in-between event-loops, but not during an event-loop.
101 - \b GetEntryRanges() will be called several times, including during an event loop, as additional ranges are needed. It will not be called concurrently.
102 - \b Initialise() and \b Finalise() are called once per event-loop, right before starting and right after finishing.
103 - \b InitSlot(), \b SetEntry(), and \b FinaliseSlot() can be called concurrently from multiple threads, multiple times per event-loop.
