Converts a TTree into an RNTuple.

Example usage:

#include <ROOT/RNTupleImporter.hxx>
using ROOT::Experimental::RNTupleImporter;
 
auto importer = RNTupleImporter::Create("data.root", "TreeName", "output.root").Unwrap();
// As required: importer->SetNTupleName(), importer->SetWriteOptions(), ...
importer->Import().ThrowOnError();

The output file is created if it does not exist, otherwise the ntuple is added to the existing file. Note that input file and output file can be identical if the ntuple is stored under a different name than the tree (use SetNTupleName()).

By default, the RNTuple is compressed with zstd, independent of the input compression. The compression settings (and other output parameters) can be changed by SetWriteOptions(). For example, to compress the imported RNTuple using lz4 (with compression level 4) instead:

auto writeOptions = importer->GetWriteOptions();
writeOptions.SetCompression(404);
importer->SetWriteOptions(writeOptions);

Most RNTuple fields have a type identical to the corresponding TTree input branch. Exceptions are

C string branches are translated to std::string fields
C style arrays are translated to std::array<...> fields
Leaf lists are translated to untyped records
Leaf count arrays are translated to anonymous collections with generic names (_collection0, collection1, etc.). In order to keep field names and branch names aligned, RNTuple projects the members of these collections and its collection counter to the input branch names. For instance, the input leafs Int_t njets; float jet_pt[njets] float jet_eta[njets] will be converted to the following RNTuple schema: _collection0 (untyped collection) |- float jet_pt |- float jet_eta std::size_t (RNTupleCardinality) njets (projected from _collection0 without subfields) ROOT::RVec<float> jet_pt (projected from _collection0.jet_pt) ROOT::RVec<float> jet_eta (projected from _collection0.jet_eta) These projections are meta-data only operations and don't involve duplicating the data.

Current limitations of the importer:

No support for trees containing TObject (or derived classes) or TClonesArray collections
Due to RNTuple currently storing data fully split, "don't split" markers are ignored
Some types are not (yet) available in RNTuple, such as pointers, Double32_t or std::map

◆ Import()

void ROOT::Experimental::RNTupleImporter::Import ( )

Import works in two steps:

PrepareSchema() calls SetBranchAddress() on all the TTree branches and creates the corresponding RNTuple fields and the model
An event loop reads every entry from the TTree, applies transformations where necessary, and writes the output entry to the RNTuple.
