cudf._lib.pylibcudf.copying.allocate_like(Column input_column, mask_allocation_policy policy, size=None) Column#

Allocate a column with the same type as input_column.

For details, see allocate_like().

Parameters:
input_columnColumn

The column to use as a template for the output.

cudf._lib.pylibcudf.copying.boolean_mask_scatter(signatures, args, kwargs, defaults, _fused_sigindex={})#

Scatter rows from input into target according to boolean_mask.

If source is a table, it specifies rows to scatter. If source is a list, each scalar is scattered into the corresponding column in the target_table.

For details on the implementation, see boolean_mask_scatter().

Parameters:
inputUnion[Table, List[Scalar]]

The table object from which to pull data.

targetTable

The table object into which to scatter data.

boolean_maskColumn

A mapping from rows in input to rows in target.

Returns:
Table

The result of the scatter

Raises:
ValueError

If input.num_columns() != target.num_columns(), boolean_mask.size() != target.num_rows(), or if input is a Table and the number of true in boolean_mask > input.num_rows().

TypeError

If any input type does not match the corresponding target column’s type, or if boolean_mask.type() is not bool.

cudf._lib.pylibcudf.copying.copy_if_else(signatures, args, kwargs, defaults, _fused_sigindex={})#

Parameters:
lhsUnion[Column, Scalar]

The column or scalar to copy from if the corresponding element in boolean_mask is True.

rhsUnion[Column, Scalar]

The column or scalar to copy from if the corresponding element in boolean_mask is False.

boolean_maskColumn

The boolean mask to use to select elements from lhs and rhs.

Returns:
pylibcudf.Column

The result of copying elements from lhs and rhs according to boolean_mask.

Raises:
TypeError

If lhs and rhs are not of the same type or if the boolean mask is not of type bool.

ValueError

If boolean mask is not of the same length as lhs and rhs (whichever are columns), or if lhs and rhs are not of the same length (if both are columns).

cudf._lib.pylibcudf.copying.copy_range(Column input_column, Column target_column, size_type input_begin, size_type input_end, size_type target_begin) Column#

Copy a range of elements from input_column to target_column.

The column into which to copy elements.

The index of the last element in input_column to copy.

target_beginint

The index of the first element in target_column to overwrite.

Returns:
pylibcudf.Column

A copy of target_column with the specified range overwritten.

Raises:
IndexError

If the indices accessed by the ranges implied by input_begin, input_end, and target_begin are out of bounds.

TypeError

If target and source have different types.

cudf._lib.pylibcudf.copying.copy_range_in_place(Column input_column, Column target_column, size_type input_begin, size_type input_end, size_type target_begin) Column#

Copy a range of elements from input_column to target_column.

The target_column is overwritten in place.

For details on the implementation, see copy_range_in_place().

Parameters:
input_columnColumn

The column from which to copy elements.

target_columnColumn

The column into which to copy elements.

input_beginint

The index of the first element in input_column to copy.

input_endint

The index of the last element in input_column to copy.

target_beginint

The index of the first element in target_column to overwrite.

Raises:
TypeError

If the operation is attempted on non-fixed width types since those would require memory reallocations, or if the input and target columns have different types.

IndexError

If the indices accessed by the ranges implied by input_begin, input_end, and target_begin are out of bounds.

ValueError

If source has null values and target is not nullable.

cudf._lib.pylibcudf.copying.empty_like(signatures, args, kwargs, defaults, _fused_sigindex={})#

Create an empty column or table with the same type as input.

For details, see empty_like().

Parameters:
inputUnion[Column, Table]

The column or table to use as a template for the output.

Returns:
Union[Column, Table]

An empty column or table with the same type(s) as input.
