Changelog

6.00-beta-13

• Fix for parquet failing to load local files in windows. Thanks hadoop, that is 3 hours of my life that will never come back ;-).

6.00-beta-12

• Parquet documentation to address logging slowdown. If writing parquet files is unreasonably slow then please read the documentation on logging. The java parquet implementations logs so much it slows things down 5x-10x.
• Fix to nippy to be backward compatible.

6.00-beta-11

• issue 244 - NPE with packed column.
• issue 243 - xls, xlsx parsing documentation.
• issue 208 - k-fold, train-test-split both now take random seed similar to shuffle.

6.00-beta-10

• issue 242 - drop-columns reorders columns.

6.00-beta-9

• issue 240 - poor remove columns perf.
• Thorough fix to make column-map be a bit more predictable and forgiving.

6.00-beta-8

• Fix for issue 238

6.00-beta-7

• Final upgrade for geni benchmark and moved a utility function to make it more generally accessible.

6.00-beta-5

• Perf upgrades - ensuring geni benchmark speed stays constant.

6.00-beta-4

• `column-map-m

6.00-beta-2

• Small bugfix so missing sets are correct set in column-map.

6.00-beta-1

Data types and missing values are much more aggressively inferred - which is O(n-rows)) throught the api. There is a new API to disable the inference - Either pass something that is already a column or pass in a map with keys:

  #:tech.v3.dataset{:data ... :missing ... :metadata ... :force-datatype? true}

Put another way, the input to #{assoc ds/update-column ds/add-column ds/add-or-update-column} is already a column (see tech.v3.dataset.column/new-column) or if :tech.v3.dataset/force-datatype? is true and :tech.v3.dataset/data is convertible to a reader then the data will not be scanned for datatype or missing values. If the input data is a primitive-typed container then it will be scanned for missing values alone and anything else is passed through the object parsing system which is what is used for sequences of maps, maps of sequences and spreadsheets.

In this way in general the system will do more work than before - more scans of the result of things like transducer pathways and persistent vectors but in return the dataset's column datatypes should match the user's expectations. If too much time is being taken up via attempting to infer datatypes and missing sets then the user has the option to pass in explicitly constructed columns or column data representations both of which will disable the scanning. Once the data is typed elementwise mathematical operations of the type in :tech.v3.datatype.function will not result in further scans the data.

Itemized Changes:

• assoc, ds/add-column, ds/update-column, ds/add-or-update-column type operations all upgraded such that datatype and missing are inferred much more frequently.
• :tech.ml.dataset.parse/missing, :tech.ml.dataset.parse/parse-failure -> :tech.v3.dataset/missing, :tech.v3.dataset/parse-failure.
• column-map - Now scans results to infer datatype if not provided as opposed to assuming result is the widest of the input column types. Also users can provide their own function that calculates missing sets as opposed to the default behavior being the union of the input columns' missing sets.

5.21

• Issue 233 - Poi xlsx parser can now autodetect dates. Note that fastexcel is the default xslx parser so in order to parse xlsx files using poi use tech.v3.libs.poi/workbook->datasets.
• PR 232 - Option - :disable-comment-skipping? - to disable comment skipping in csv files.

5.20

• Return an Iterable from csv->rows as opposed to a seq. Iterator-seq has nontrivial overhead.
• Fixes for issues 229, 230, and 231.

5.19

• Using builder model for parquet both for forward compatibility and so we can set an output stream as opposed to a file path. This allows a graal native pathway to work wtih parquet.

5.18

• Graal-native friendly mmap pathways (no requiring resolve, you have to explicity set the implementation in your main.clj file).
• Parquet write pathway update to make more standard and more likely to work with future versions of parquet. This means, however, that there will no longer be a direct correlation between number of datasets and number of record batches in a parquet file as the standard pathway takes care of writing out record batches when a memory constraint is triggered. So if you save a dataset you may get a parquet file back that contains a sequence of datasets. There are many parquet options, see the documentation for ds-seq->parquet.

5.17

• Issue 225 - column/row selection should return empty datasets when no columns are selected.
• nil headers now print fine - thanks to DavidVujic.

5.15

• Issue 224 - dataset creating fails in map case when all vals are seqs.

5.14

• Another set of smaller upgrades to csv parsing.
• Reservoir sampling is supported for large aggregations.
• tech.io (and thus nippy) is upgraded.

5.13

• Various optimizations to csv parsing making it a bit (2x) faster.

5.12

• All statistical/reduction summations now use Kahan's compensated summation. This makes summation much more accurate for very large streams of data.
• Issue 220 - confusing behavior on dataset creation. This may result in different behavior than was expected previously when using maps of columns as dataset constructors.

5.11

• Many more algorithms exposed and documentation updated for the apache-data-sketch namespace.

5.10

• apache data sketch set-cardinality algorithms hyper-log-log and theta.

5.07

• tech.v3.dataset.reductions namespace now includes direct aggregations including group-by aggregations and also t-dunnings' t-digest algorithm for probabilistic cdf and quantile estimation.

5.06

• Bugs introduced by t-digest version 3.2. Ignore this release.

5.05

• Ragged per-row arrays are partially support for parquet.

5.04

• headers? now also works when writing csv/tsv documents (thanks to behrica).

5.03

• group-by now is done with a linkedhashmap thus the keys are ordered in terms of first found in the data. This is useful for operations such as re-indexing a previously sorted dataset as it.

5.02

• Fix for fastexcel files containing formulas.
• Codox org.ow2.asm fix from dtype-next.

5.00

• Large upgrade to dtype-next.
• All public functions are dataset-first. This breaks compatibility with sort-by filter, etc.
• Namespace changes to be tech.v3 across the board as opposed to tech.v2 along with tech.ml.
• All smile dataframe functionality is in tech.v3.libs.smile.data.

4.03

• Fix for #136

4.02

• Optimized conversion from a dataset to and from a neanderthal dense matrix is now supported -- see tech.ml.dataset.neanderthal.

4.01

• Major cleanup of dependencies. Logging works now, for better or definitely at times for worse. To silence annoying, loud logging call:

  (tech.ml.dataset.utils/set-slf4j-log-level :info)
  ```.
  

• Added a large-dataset reduction namespace: tech.ml.dataset.reductions. Current very beta but in general large reductions will reduce to java streams as these have parallelization possibilities that sequences do not have; for instance you can get a parallel stream out of a hash map.

4.00

• Upgrade to smile 2.5.0

3.11

• Major fix to tech.v2.datatype.mmap/mmap-file - resource types weren't being set in default.
• tech.ml.dataset/csv->dataset-seq - Fixed input stream closing before sequence is completely consumed.

3.10

• tech.libs.arrow/write-dataset-seq-to-stream! - Given a sequence of datasets, write an arrow stream with one record-batch for each dataset.
• tech.libs.arrow/stream->dataset-seq-copying - Given an arrow stream, return a sequence of datasets, one for each arrow data record.
• tech.libs.arrow/stream->dataset-seq-inplace - Given an arrow stream, return a sequence of datasets constructed in-place on memory mapped data. Expects to be used with in a tech.resource/stack-resource-context but accepts options for tech.v2.datatype.mmap/mmap-file.
• tech.libs.arrow/visualize-arrow-stream - memory-maps a file and returns the arrow structure in a way that prints nicely to the REPL. Useful for exploring an arrow file and quickly seeing the low level structure.
• tech.ml.dataset/csv->dataset-seq - Given a potentially large csv, parse it into a sequence of datasets. These datasets are guaranteed to share a schema and so an efficient form of writing really large arrow files is to using this function along with tech.libs.arrow/write-dataset-seq-to-stream!.

3.08

Arrow Support

• Proper arrow support. In-place or accelerated copy pathway into the jvm.
• 'tech.libs.arrow` exposes a few functions to dive through arrow files and product datatsets. Right now only stream file format is supported. Copying is supported via their blessed API. In-place is supported by a more or less clean room implementation using memory mapped files. There will be a blog post on this soon.
• tech.datatype has a new namespace, tech.v2.datatype.mmap that supports memory mapping files and direct memory access for address spaces (and files) larger than the java nio 2GB limit for memory mapping and nio buffers.

3.07

• Issue 122 - Datasets with columns of datasets did not serialize to nippy.

3.06

• Issue 118 - sample, head, tail, all set :print-index-range so the entire ds prints.
• Issue 119 - median in descriptive stats
• Issue 117 - filter-column allows you to pass in a value for exact matches.
• Updated README thanks to joinr.
• Updated walkthrough.

3.05

• Rebuilt with java8 so class files are java8 compatible.

3.04 - Bad release, built with java 11

• Issue 116 - tech.ml.dataset/fill-range-replace - Given a numeric or date column, interpolate column such that differences between successive vaules are smaller than a given cutoff. Use replace-missing functionality on all other columns to fill in values for generated rows.
• Issue 115 - tech.ml.dataset/replace-missing Subset of replace-missing from tablecloth implemented.

3.03

• Bugfix - Some string tables saved out with version 2.X would not load correctly.

3.02

• Issue 98 - Reading csv/xlsx files sometimes produce numbers which breaks setting colnames to keywords.
• Issue 113 - NPE when doing hasheq on empty datatset
• Issue 114 - Columns now have full hasheq implementation - They are IPersisentCollections.

3.01

• Datasets implement IPersistentMap. This changes the meaning of (seq dataset) whereas it used to return columns it now returns sequences of map entries. It does mean, however, that you can destructure datasets in let statements to get the columns back and use clojure.core/[assoc,dissoc], contains? etc. Some of the core Clojure functions, such as select-keys, will change your dataset into a normal clojure persistent map so beware.

2.15

• fix nippy save/load for string tables.
• string tables now have arraylists for their int->str mapping.
• saving encoded-text columns is now possible with their encoding object.

2.14 - BAD RELEASE, NIPPY SAVE/LOAD BROKEN

• There is a new parse type: :encoded-text. When read, this will appear to be a string column however the user has a choice of encodings and utf-8 is the default. This is useful when you need a particular encoding for a column. It is roughly twice as efficient be default as a normal string encoding (utf-8 vs. utf-16).

2.13

• nth, map on packed datetime columns (or using them as functions) returns datetime objects as opposed to their packed values. This means that if you ask a packed datetime column for an object reader you get back an unpacked value.

2.12

• Better support of nth. Columns cache the generic reader used for nth queries and all tech.v2.datatype readers support nth and count natively in base java interface implementations.
• New namespace - tech.ml.dataset.text.bag-of-words that contains code to convert a dataset with a text field into a dataset with document ids and and a document-id->token-idx dataset.
• Quick Reference

2.11

• After several tries got docs up on cljdoc. Need to have provided deps cleaned up a bit better.

2.09

• Include logback-classic as a dependency as smile.math brings in slf4j and this causes an error if some implementation of slf4j isn't included thus breaking things like cljdoc.
• Experimental options options for parsing text (:encoded-text) when dealing with large text fields.

2.08

• Major datatype datetime upgrade - Issue 31

2.07

• Bugfix - string tables that required integer storage were written out incorrectly to nippy files.

2.06

• left-join-asof - Implementation of algorithms from pandas' `merge_asof'.

2.05

• Bugfix release - We now do not ever parse to float32 numbers by default. This was silently causing data loss. The cost of this is that files are somewhat larger and potentially we need to have an option to set the default sequence of datatypes attempted during data parsing.

2.04

• Added concat-copying. This is much faster when you want to concatenate many things at the cost of copying the data and thus potentially increasing the working set size in memory.

2.03

• Saving to nippy is much faster because there is a new function to efficiently construct a string table from a reader of strings: tech.ml.dataset.string-table/string-table-from-strings.

2.02

• breaking change - Remove date/uuid inference pathway for strings from mapseq/spreadsheet pathways.
• nippy freeze/thaw is efficiently supported :-).

2.01

• Issue-94 - Ragged csv data loads automatically now.
• Issue-87 - Printing double numbers is much better.
• Fixed saving tsv files - was writing out csv files.
• Fixed writing packed datatypes - was writing integers.
• Added parallelized loading of csv - helps a bit but only if parsing is really expensive, so only when lots of datetime types or something of that nature.

2.0

• No changes from beta-59

2.0-beta-59

• tech.datatype now supports persistent vectors made via clojure.core.vector-of. vector-of is a nice middle ground between raw persistent vectors and java arrays and may be a simple path for many users into typed storage and datasets.

2.0-beta-58

• mistake release...nothing to see here....

2.0-beta-57

• Issue-92 - ->dataset failed for map-style datasets
• Issue-93 - use smile.io to load arrow/parquet files via ->dataset
• Issue-91 - apply doesn't work with columns or readers

2.0-beta-56

breaking changes

• Upgraded smile to latest version (2.4.0). This is a very new API so if you are relying transitively on smile via dataset this may have broke your systems. Smile 1.4.X and smile 2.X are very different interfaces so this is important to get in before releasing a 2.0 version of dataset.

There is now an efficient conversion to/from smile dataframes.

New Functions

• ->dataset conversion a smile dataframe to a dataset.
• dataset->smile-dataframe conversion a dataset to a smile dataframe. Columns that are reader based will be copied into java arrays. To enable predictable behavior a new function was added.
• ensure-array-backed - ensure each column in the dataset has a zerocopy conversion to a java array enabled by tech.v2.datatype/->array.
• invert-string->number - The pipeline function string->number stores a string table in the column metadata. Using this metadata, invert the string->number operation returning the column back to its original state. This metadata is :label-map which is a map from column-data to number.

2.0-beta-55

• Issue-89 - column iterables operate in object space meaning missing values are nil as opposed to the datatype's missing value indicator.

2.0-beta-XX

• Datatype readers now suppport typed java stream creation (typedStream method).

2.0-beta-54

• Issue-88 - rename column fails on false name

2.0-beta-53

• Issue-86 - joins on datasets with not typical names
• Issue-85 - select-rows can take a scalar.

2.0-beta-52

• dtype/clone works correctly for arrays.

2.0-beta-51

• profiled group-by-column quite a bit. Found/fixed several issues, about 10X faster if table is wide as compared to long.
• Fixed printing in a few edge cases.
• Issue-84 - tech.ml.dataset.column/scan-data-for-missing fix.

2.0-beta-50

• Memory optimization related to roaring bitmap usage.
• Issue-82 - Empty datasets no longer printed.

2.0-beta-49

• Small fix to printing to make pandoc work better.

2.0-beta-48

• much better printing. Dataset now correctly print multiline column data and there are a set of options to control the printing. See dataset->str.

2.0-beta-47

• UUIDs are now supported as datatypes. This includes parsing them from strings out of csv and xlsx files and as a fully supported object in mapseq pathways.

2.0-beta-46

• Conversion of instant->zoned-date-time uses UTC zone instead of system zone.

2.0-beta-45

• issue-76 - quartiles for datetime types in descriptive stats
• issue-71 - Added shape function to main dataset api. Returns shape in row major format.
• issue-69 - Columns elide missing values during print operation.

2.0-beta-44

• drop-rows on an empty set is a noop.
• tech.ml.dataset.column/stats was wrong for columns with missing values.

2.0-beta-43

• tech.v2.datatype was causing double-read on boolean readers.
• issue-72 - added max-num-columns because csv and tsv files with more than 512 columns were failing to parse. New default is 8192.
• issue-70 - The results of any join have two maps in their metadata - :left-column-names - map of original left-column-name->new-column-name. :right-column-names - map of original right-column-name->new-column-name.

2.0-beta-42

• n-initial-skip-rows works with xlsx spreadsheets.
• assoc, dissoc implemented in the main dataset namespace.

2.0-beta-41

• issue-67 - Various tech.v2.datatype.functional functions are updated to be more permissive about their inputs and cast the result to the appropriate datatype.

2.0-beta-40

• issue-65 - datetimes in mapseqs were partially broken.
• tech.v2.datatype.functional will now change the datatype appropriately on a lot of unary math operations. So for instance calling sin, cos, log, or log1p on an integer reader will now return a floating point reader. These methods used to throw.
• subtle bug in the ->reader method defined for object arrays meant that sometimes attempting math on object columns would fail.
• tech.ml.dataset/column-cast - Changes the column datatype via a an optionally privided cast function. This function is powerful - it will correctly convert packed types to their string representation, it will use the parsing system on string columns and it uses the same complex datatype argument as tech.ml.dataset.column/parse-column:

user> (doc ds/column-cast)
-------------------------
tech.ml.dataset/column-cast
([dataset colname datatype])
  Cast a column to a new datatype.  This is never a lazy operation.  If the old
  and new datatypes match and no cast-fn is provided then dtype/clone is called
  on the column.

  colname may be a scalar or a tuple of [src-col dst-col].

  datatype may be a datatype enumeration or a tuple of
  [datatype cast-fn] where cast-fn may return either a new value,
  the :tech.ml.dataset.parse/missing, or :tech.ml.dataset.parse/parse-failure.
  Exceptions are propagated to the caller.  The new column has at least the
  existing missing set if no attempt returns :missing or :cast-failure.
  :cast-failure means the value gets added to metadata key :unparsed-data
  and the index gets added to :unparsed-indexes.


  If the existing datatype is string, then tech.ml.datatype.column/parse-column
  is called.

  Casts between numeric datatypes need no cast-fn but one may be provided.
  Casts to string need no cast-fn but one may be provided.
  Casts from string to anything will call tech.ml.dataset.column/parse-column.

2.0-beta-29

• renamed 'column-map' to 'column-name->column-map'. This is a public interface change and we do apologize!
• added 'column-map' which maps a function over one or more columns. The result column has a missing set that is the union of the input columns' missing sets:

user> (-> (ds/->dataset [{:a 1} {:b 2.0} {:a 2 :b 3.0}])
          (ds/column-map
           :summed
           (fn ^double [^double lhs ^double rhs]
             (+ lhs rhs))
           :a :b))

2.0-beta-38

• [issue-64] - more tests revealed more problems with concat with different column types.
• added tech.v2.datatype/typed-reader-map where the result datatype is derived from the input datatypes of the input readers. The result of map-fn is unceremoniously coerced to this datatype -

user> (-> (ds/->dataset [{:a 1.0} {:a 2.0}])
               (ds/update-column

• Cleaned up the tech.datatype widen datatype code so it models a property type graph with clear unification rules (where the parent are equal else :object).

2.0-beta-37

• [issue-64] - concat columns with different datatypes does a widening. In addition, there are tested pathways to change the datatype of a column without changing the missing set.
• unroll-column takes an optional argument :indexes? that will record the source index in the entry the unrolled data came from.

2.0-beta-36

• generic column data lists now support .addAll

2.0-beta-35

• tech.datatype - all readers are marked as sequential.
• unroll-column - Given a column that may container either iterable or scalar data, unroll it so it only contains scalar data duplicating rows.
• Issue 61 - Empty bitsets caused exceptions.
• Issue 62 - IP addresses parsed as durations.

2.0-beta-34

• Major speed (100x+) improvements to tech.ml.dataset.column/unique and especially `tech.ml.dataset.pipeline/string->number.

2.0-beta-33

• tech.v2.datatype namespace has a new function - make-reader - that reifies a reader of the appropriate type. This allows you to make new columns that have nontrivial translations and datatypes much easier than before.
• tech.v2.datatype namespace has a new function - ->typed-reader - that typecasts the incoming object into a reader of the appropriate datatype. This means that .read calls will be strongly typed and is useful for building up a set of typed variables before using make-reader above.
• Some documentation on the implications of columns, readers, and datatypes.

2.0-beta-32

• Issue 52 - CSV columns with empty column names get named after their index. Before they would cause an exception.
• tech.datatype added a method to transform a reader into a persistent-vector-like object that derives from clojure.lang.APersistentVector and thus gains benefit from the excellent equality and hash semantics of persistent vectors.

2.0-beta-31

• Fixed #38 - set-missing/remove-rows can take infinite seqs - they are trimmed to dataset length.
• Fixed #47 - Added columnwise-concat which is a far simpler version of dplyr's https://tidyr.tidyverse.org/reference/pivot_longer.html. This is implemented efficiently in terms of indexed reader concatentation and as such should work on tables of any size.
• Fixed #57 - BREAKING PUBLIC API CHANGES - We are getting more strict on the API - if a function is dataset-last (thus appropriate for ->>) then any options must be passed before the dataset. Same is true for the set of functions that are dataset first. We will be more strict about this from now on.

2.0-beta-30

• Parsing datetime types now works if the column starts with missing values.
• An efficient formulation of java.util.map is introduced for when you have a bitmap of keys and a single value: tech.v2.datatype.bitmap/bitmap-value->bitmap-map. This is used for replace-missing type operations.

2.0-beta-29

• brief now does not return missing values. Double or float NaN or INF values from a mapseq result in maps with fewer keys.
• Set of columns used for default descriptive stats is reduced to original set as this fits on a small repl nicely. Possible to override. brief overrides this to provide defaults to get more information.
• unique-by returns indexes in order.
• Fixed #51 - mapseq parsing now follows proper number tower.

2.0-beta-28

• Fixed #36 - use key-fn uniformly across all loaded datatypes
• Fixed #45 - select can take a map. This does a selection and a projection to new column names.
• Fixed #41 - boolean columns failed to convert to doubles.
• Fixed #44 - head,tail,shuffle,rand-nth,sample all implemented in format appropriate for ->> operators.

2.0-beta-27

• Update tech.datatype with upgraded and fewer dependencies.
  • asm 7.1 (was 7.0)
  • org.clojure/math.combinatorics 1.6 (was 1.2)
  • org.clojure/test.check 1.0.0

2.0-beta-25

• Optimized filter. Record of optimization is on zulip. Synopsis is a speedup of like 10-20X depending on how much work you want to do :-). The base filter pathway has a speedup of around 2-4X.

2.0-beta-23

• Updated description stats to provide list of distinct elements for categorical columns of length less than 21.
• Updated mapseq system to provide nil values for missing data as opposed to the specific column datatype's missing value indicator. This can be overridden by passing in :missing-nil? false as an option.
• Added brief function to main namespace so you can get a nice brief description of your dataset when working from the REPL. This prints out better than descriptive-stats.

2.0-beta-21

• loading jsons files found issues with packing.
• optimized conversion to/from maps.

2.0-beta-20

• sort-by works with generic comparison fns.

2.0-beta-19

• descriptive stats works with mixed column name types
• argsort is now used for all sort functions
• -> versions of sort added so you can sort in -> pathways
• instants and such can used for sorting

Added Functions

• column->dataset - map a transform function over a column and return a new dataset from the result. It is expected the transform function returns a map.
• drop-rows, select-rows, drop-columns - more granular select calls.
• append-columns - append a list of columns to a dataset. Used with column->dataset.
• column-labeled-mapseq - Create a sequence of maps with a :value and :label members. this flattens the dataset by producing Y maps per row instead of 1 map per row where the maps themselves are labeled with the value in their :value member. This is useful to building vega charts.
• ->distinct-by-column - take the first row where a given key is present. The arrow form of this indicats the dataset is the first argument.
• ->sort-by, ->sort-by-column - Forms of these functions for using in (->) dataflows.
• interpolate-loess - Produce a new column from a given pair of columns using loess interpolation to create the column. The interpolator is saved as metadata on the new column.

2.0-beta-16

• Missing a datetime datatype for parse-str and add-to-container! means a compile time error. Packed durations can now be read from mapseqs.

2.0-beta-15

• Descriptive stats now works with instants.

2.0-beta-14

• Descriptive stats now works with datetime types.

2.0-beta-12

• Support for parsing and working with durations. Strings that look like times - "00:00:12" will be parsed into hh:mm:ss durations. The value can have a negative sign in front. This is in addition to the duration's native serialization string type.
• Added short test for tensors in datasets. This means that the venerable print-table is no longer enough as it doesn't account for multiline strings and thus datatets with really complex things will not print correctly for a time.

2.0-beta-11

• Various fixes related to parsing and working with open data.
• tech.ml.dataset.column/parse-column - given a string column that failed to parse for some reason, you can force the system to attempt to parse it using, for instance, relaxed parsing semantics where failures simply record the failure in metadata.
• relaxed parsing in general is supported across all input types.
