ROOT::RDF::RCsvDS Class Referencefinal

RDataFrame data source class for reading CSV files.

The RCsvDS class implements a CSV file reader for RDataFrame.

A RDataFrame that reads from a CSV file can be constructed using the factory method ROOT::RDF::MakeCsvDataFrame, which accepts three parameters:

  1. Path to the CSV file.
  2. Boolean that specifies whether the first row of the CSV file contains headers or not (optional, default true). If false, header names will be automatically generated as Col0, Col1, ..., ColN.
  3. Delimiter (optional, default ',').

The types of the columns in the CSV file are automatically inferred. The supported types are:

  • Integer: stored as a 64-bit long long int.
  • Floating point number: stored with double precision.
  • Boolean: matches the literals true and false.
  • String: stored as an std::string, matches anything that does not fall into any of the previous types.

These are some formatting rules expected by the RCsvDS implementation:

  • All records must have the same number of fields, in the same order.
  • Any field may be quoted.
    "1997","Ford","E350"
  • Fields with embedded delimiters (e.g. comma) must be quoted.
    1997,Ford,E350,"Super, luxurious truck"
  • Fields with double-quote characters must be quoted, and each of the embedded double-quote characters must be represented by a pair of double-quote characters.
    1997,Ford,E350,"Super, ""luxurious"" truck"
  • Fields with embedded line breaks are not supported, even when quoted.
    1997,Ford,E350,"Go get one now
    they are going fast"
  • Spaces are considered part of a field and are not ignored.
    1997, Ford , E350
    not same as
    1997,Ford,E350
    but same as
    1997, "Ford" , E350
    TString as(SEXP s)
    Definition: RExports.h:71
  • If a header row is provided, it must contain column names for each of the fields.
    Year,Make,Model
    1997,Ford,E350
    2000,Mercury,Cougar

The current implementation of RCsvDS reads the entire CSV file content into memory before RDataFrame starts processing it. Therefore, before creating a CSV RDataFrame, it is important to check both how much memory is available and the size of the CSV file.

◆ GetColumnReadersImpl()

std::vector< void * > ROOT::RDF::RCsvDS::GetColumnReadersImpl ( std::string_view  name,

◆ GetEntryRanges()

std::vector< std::pair< ULong64_t, ULong64_t > > ROOT::RDF::RCsvDS::GetEntryRanges ( )
virtual

Return ranges of entries to distribute to tasks.

They are required to be contiguous intervals with no entries skipped. Supposing a dataset with nEntries, the intervals must start at 0 and end at nEntries, e.g. [0-5],[5-10] for 10 entries. This function will be invoked repeatedly by RDataFrame as it needs additional entries to process. The same entry range should not be returned more than once. Returning an empty collection of ranges signals to RDataFrame that the processing can stop.

Implements ROOT::RDF::RDataSource.

Definition at line 354 of file RCsvDS.cxx.

◆ GetLabel()

std::string ROOT::RDF::RCsvDS::GetLabel ( )
virtual

Return a string representation of the datasource type.

The returned string will be used by ROOT::RDF::SaveGraph() to represent the datasource in the visualization of the computation graph. Concrete datasources can override the default implementation.

Type of a column as a string, e.g.

GetTypeName("x") == "double". Required for jitting e.g. df.Filter("x>0").

Parameters
[in]columnNameThe name of the column

Implements ROOT::RDF::RDataSource.

private

Definition at line 229 of file RCsvDS.cxx.

◆ SetEntry()

bool ROOT::RDF::RCsvDS::SetEntry ( unsigned int  slot,
ULong64_t  entry 
)
virtual

Advance the "cursors" returned by GetColumnReaders to the selected entry for a particular slot.

Parameters
[in]slotThe data processing slot that needs to be considered
[in]entryThe entry which needs to be pointed to by the reader pointers Slots are adopted to accommodate parallel data processing. Different workers will loop over different ranges and will be labelled by different "slot" values. Returns true if the entry has to be processed, false otherwise.

Implements ROOT::RDF::RDataSource.

Definition at line 422 of file RCsvDS.cxx.

◆ SetNSlots()

void ROOT::RDF::RCsvDS::SetNSlots ( unsigned int  nSlots)
virtual

Inform RDataSource of the number of processing slots (i.e.

worker threads) used by the associated RDataFrame. Slots numbers are used to simplify parallel execution: RDataFrame guarantees that different threads will always pass different slot values when calling methods concurrently.
