Lookup and indexing functions

Open ocramz opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is there a way to lookup indices, filter rows and so on?

Can you explain what you mean? I think that, to filter rows, you would filter the collection that you are encoding it before passing it to any of colonnade’s functions.

Yes sorry for the brief ticket, this confirms my understanding of the API.

The internal OneColonnade ("Column" ?) type is a sort of "pull array" [1] but has no notion of row index.

I was looking for a way to use 'colonnade' as the basis for a "dataframe" of sorts, like Apache Arrow.
