to_lazy_dataframe

Open bendichter opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Loading an entire hdmf DynamicTable into a pandas.DataFrame can take too long, especially if we are just doing that so we can print the table. We need a way to skip loading the large segments of data. I think the best way to do this would be to use lazy_ops, and load views to the corresponding data regions.

Could you clarify which specific data you want to exclude? Is this something the user would specify? If you just want it for print, how meaningful are the lazy objects for a user?
