Detailed Description

Enumeration Type Documentation

nullable_join

enum cudf::nullable_join : bool

strong

The enum class to specify if any of the input join tables (build table and any later probe table) has nulls.

This is used upon hash_join object construction to specify the existence of nulls in all the possible input tables. If such null existence is unknown, YES should be used as the default option.

Definition at line 298 of file join.hpp.

conditional_full_join()

std::pair<std::unique_ptr<rmm::device_uvector<size_type> >, std::unique_ptr<rmm::device_uvector<size_type> > > cudf::conditional_full_join	(	table_view const &	left,
		table_view const &	right,
		ast::expression const &	binary_predicate,
		rmm::cuda_stream_view	stream = cudf::get_default_stream(),
		rmm::device_async_resource_ref	mr = cudf::get_current_device_resource_ref()
	)

Returns a pair of row index vectors corresponding to all pairs of rows between the specified tables where the predicate evaluates to true, or null matches for rows in either table that have no match in the other.

Taken pairwise, the values from the returned vectors are one of: (1) row indices corresponding to matching rows from the left and right tables, (2) a row index and an unspecified out-of-bounds value, representing a row from one table without a match in the other.

If the provided predicate returns NULL for a pair of rows (left, right), that pair is not included in the output.

Left: {{0, 1, 2}}
Right: {{1, 2, 3}}
Expression: Left.Column_0 == Right.Column_0
Result: {{0, 1, 2, None}, {None, 0, 1, 2}}
 
Left: {{0, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}}
Right: {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 6, 7}}
Expression: (Left.Column_0 == Right.Column_0) AND (Left.Column_1 == Right.Column_1)
Result: {{0, 1, 2, None, None}, {None, 0, None, 1, 2}}

Exceptions

cudf::data_type_error

if the binary predicate outputs a non-boolean result.

Parameters

left	The left table
right	The right table
binary_predicate	The condition on which to join
stream	CUDA stream used for device memory operations and kernel launches
mr	Device memory resource used to allocate the returned table and columns' device memory

Returns

A pair of vectors [left_indices, right_indices] that can be used to construct the result of performing a conditional full join between two tables left and right .
