    foundryts.NodeCollection

    class foundryts.NodeCollection(*nodes, **kwargs)

    A collection of FunctionNode or SummarizerNode.

    A NodeCollection is an iterable that can be passed to functions expecting multiple time series, or for mapping each node in the collection to a function.

    For raw series and point sets, the dataframe of a NodeCollection contains an extra column called series denoting the series that the points belong to. The series value will be the series ID either set in the time series sync or via an alias for foundryts.functions.points().

    Note

    Ensure that you do not directly pass a NodeCollection to functions expecting a single input time series as this will error out the operation. For applying the same function on all elements of the node, use NodeCollection.map() which will map the transformed points or summary to the series in the final dataframe. Refer to FoundryTS functions documentation to review the number of inputs for functions.

    columns()

    Returns a tuple of strings representing the column names of the pandas.DataFrame that would be produced by evaluating this collection to a dataframe.

    Note

    Keys of nested objects will be flattened into a tuple with nested keys joined with ..

    Non-uniform collections will contain the union of all columns of each element in the collection.

    • Returns: Tuple containing names of the columns in the resulting dataframe which the collection gets evaluated to.
    • Return type: Tuple[str]

    map(func)

    Map each time series in the collection to a output for the input function.

    This is useful for applying the same set of queries to a collection of time-series together.

    • Parameters: func ( ( ) -> FunctionNode | SummarizerNode) – FoundryTS supported function to apply on each time series in the collection.
    • Returns: The updated NodeCollection with each item mapped to the corresponding output of applying the func.
    • Return type: Iterable[NodeCollection]

    map_intervals(intervals, interval_name=None)

    Creates a time range for all time series in the collection using the intervals.

    Each interval is used to create a foundryts.functions.time_range() on the input time series, which can be used for further transformations and analysis. This is best used with creating Interval either manually or by converting the result of foundryts.functions.time_range() to Interval.

    The resulting dataframe has additional columns for interval.start and interval.end.

    • Parameters:
      • intervals (Interval | List [Interval ]) – One or more intervals to create time ranges for all time series in the collection.
      • interval_name (str , optional) – Optional alias for the intervals column in the dataframe.
    • Returns: The updated NodeCollection with each item mapped to the corresponding output of applying the func.
    • Return type: Iterable[NodeCollection]

    to_dataframe(numPartitions=16)

    Evaluates all time series in the collection and concatenate the results to a pyspark.sql.DataFrame.

    PySpark DataFrames enable distributed data processing and parallelized transformations. They can be useful when working with dataframes with a large number of rows, for example loading all the points in a raw series or the result of a FunctionNode, or evaluating the results of multiple SummarizerNode or FunctionNode together.

    An additional series column will note which series the results belong to using the series ID or foundryts.functions.points() alias.

    • Parameters: numPartitions (int , optional) – Specifies the number of partitions for distributing the time series data in the collection across Spark executors, optimizing parallel data processing. Higher values can improve performance when the executor count is high, whereas lower values may be more efficient with fewer executors. Adjust this based on the size of the time series collection and your Spark configuration (e.g., number of executors and executor memory) (default is 16).
    • Returns: Output of all time series and operations in the collection evaluated to a PySpark dataframe.
    • Return type: pyspark.sql.DataFrame
    See Also

    NodeCollection.to_pandas()

    Note

    Set numPartitions to an appropriate value for a large collection.

    to_pandas(parallel=4, mode='thread')

    Evaluates the time series queries in this collection and concatenates the results to a pandas.DataFrame.

    Refer to FunctionNode.to_pandas() and SummarizerNode.to_pandas() for details on the shape of the dataframe.

    An additional series column will note which series the results belong to using the series ID or foundryts.functions.points() alias.

    • Parameters:
      • parallel (int , optional) – Number of parallel threads or processes used to evaluate the time series queries. If set to 1, no multiprocessing is done (default is 4).
      • mode (str , optional) – Valid options are process or thread, each controlling the type of multiprocessing threadpool.
    • Returns: Output of the time series queries in the collection evaluated to a Pandas dataframe.
    • Return type: pd.DataFrame
    See Also

    NodeCollection.to_dataframe()

    Note

    The result of each time series query in the collection is stored and concatenated to the final dataframe locally, so results must fit in memory.

    Parallel execution will increase memory usage and resource consumption. Using process mode may introduce overhead. Excessive parallelism can degrade performance.

    to_rdd(numPartitions=16)

    Deprecated

    Deprecated since version 1.0.0.

    Return an RDD of (key, object) by evaluating the nodes in this collection. If the nodes in this NodeCollection resulted from grouping or windowing operations, the respective key will contain the given metadata keys or intervals. Otherwise it will be the node’s series identifier.

    • Parameters: numPartitions (int) – number of partitions to use for spark execution
    • Return type: pyspark.RDD

    types()

    Returns a tuple of types for the column of the pandas.DataFrame that would be produced by evaluating the collection to a dataframe.

    • Returns: Tuple containing types of the columns in the resulting dataframe which the collection gets evaluated to.
    • Return type: Tuple[Type]
    Note

    Non-uniform collections will contain the union of all types of each element in the collection.
