Function Documentation

gather()

std::unique_ptr<table> cudf::gather	(	table_view const &	source_table,
		column_view const &	gather_map,
		out_of_bounds_policy	bounds_policy = out_of_bounds_policy::DONT_CHECK,
		rmm::cuda_stream_view	stream = cudf::get_default_stream(),
		rmm::mr::device_memory_resource *	mr = rmm::mr::get_current_device_resource()
	)

Gathers the specified rows (including null values) of a set of columns.

Gathers the rows of the source columns according to gather_map such that row "i" in the resulting table's columns will contain row "gather_map[i]" from the source columns. The number of rows in the result table will be equal to the number of elements in gather_map.

A negative value i in the gather_map is interpreted as i+n, where n is the number of rows in the source_table.

For dictionary columns, the keys column component is copied and not trimmed if the gather results in abandoned key elements.

Exceptions

cudf::logic_error

if gather_map contains null values.

Parameters

source_table	The input columns whose rows will be gathered
gather_map	View into a non-nullable column of integral indices that maps the rows in the source columns to rows in the destination columns.
bounds_policy	Policy to apply to account for possible out-of-bounds indices DONT_CHECK skips all bounds checking for gather map values. NULLIFY coerces rows that corresponds to out-of-bounds indices in the gather map to be null elements. Callers should use DONT_CHECK when they are certain that the gather_map contains only valid indices for better performance. If policy is set to DONT_CHECK and there are out-of-bounds indices in the gather map, the behavior is undefined. Defaults to DONT_CHECK.
stream	CUDA stream used for device memory operations and kernel launches
mr	Device memory resource used to allocate the returned table's device memory

Returns

Result of the gather
