to_avro(path, schema=None, storage_options=None, **kwargs)[source]

Save data to Avro files. Avro is a remote procedure call and data serialization framework developed within Apache’s Hadoop project. It uses JSON for defining data types and protocols, and serializes data in a compact binary format.

Notes

Avro schema is a complex dictionary describing the data, see https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/gettingstartedpython.html#Defining+a+schema and https://fastavro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/writer.html. Its structure is as follows:

{'name': 'Test',
'namespace': 'Test',
'doc': 'Descriptive text',
'type': 'record',
'fields': [
    {'name': 'a', 'type': 'int'},
]}

where the “name” field is required, but “namespace” and “doc” are optional descriptors; “type” must always be “record”. The list of fields should have an entry for every key of the input records, and the types are like the primitive, complex or logical types of the Avro spec (https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/spec.html).

  • Dropping strongly co-correlated columns that tend to produce less generalizable models.

Parameters:

  • target (str, optional) – Name of the target in dataset. If set an ADSDatasetWithTarget object is returned, otherwise an ADSDataset object is returned which can be used to understand the dataset through visualizations

  • format (str, default: infer) – Format of the dataset. Supported formats: CSV, TSV, Parquet, libsvm, JSON, XLS/XLSX (Excel), HDF5, SQL, XML, Apache server log files (clf, log), ARFF. By default, the format would be inferred from the ending of the dataset file path.

  • positive_class (Any, optional) – Label in target for binary classification problems which should be identified as positive for modeling. By default, the first unique value is considered as the positive label.

  • types (dict, optional) – Dictionary of <feature_name> : <data_type> to override the data type of features.

  • transformer_pipeline (datasets.pipeline.TransformerPipeline, optional) – A pipeline of transformations done outside the sdk and need to be applied at the time of scoring

Returns an object of ADSDataset or ADSDatasetWithTarget read from the given path

Deprecated since version 2.6.6: “Deprecated in favor of using Pandas. Pandas supports reading from object storage directly. Check https://accelerated-data-science.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/loading_data/connect.html”,

Parameters:

  • source (Union[str, pandas.DataFrame, h2o.DataFrame, pyspark.sql.dataframe.DataFrame]) – If str, URI for the dataset. The dataset could be read from local or network file system, hdfs, s3, gcs and optionally pyspark in pyspark conda env

  • target (str, optional) – Name of the target in dataset. If set an ADSDatasetWithTarget object is returned, otherwise an ADSDataset object is returned which can be used to understand the dataset through visualizations

  • format (str, default: infer) – Format of the dataset. Supported formats: CSV, TSV, Parquet, libsvm, JSON, XLS/XLSX (Excel), HDF5, SQL, XML, Apache server log files (clf, log), ARFF. By default, the format would be inferred from the ending of the dataset file path.

  • reader_fn (Callable, default: None) – The user may pass in their own custom reader function. It must accept (path, **kwarg) and return a pandas DataFrame

  • name (str, optional default: "")

  • description (str, optional default: "") – Text describing the dataset

  • npartitions (int, deprecated) – Number of partitions to split the data By default this is set to the max number of cores supported by the backend compute accelerator

  • type_discovery (bool, default: True) – If false, the data types of the dataframe are used as such. By default, the dataframe columns are associated with the best suited data types. Associating the features with the disovered datatypes would impact visualizations and model prediction.

  • html_table_index (int, optional) – The index of the dataframe table in html content. This is used when the format of dataset is html

  • column_names ('infer', list of str or None, default: 'infer') – Supported only for CSV and TSV. List of column names to use. By default, column names are inferred from the first line of the file. If set to None, column names would be auto-generated instead of inferring from file. If the file already contains a column header, specify header=0 to ignore the existing column names.

  • sample_max_rows (int, default: 10000, use -1 auto calculate sample size, use 0 (zero) for no sampling) – Sample size of the dataframe to use for visualization and optimization.

  • positive_class (Any, optional) – Label in target for binary classification problems which should be identified as positive for modeling. By default, the first unique value is considered as the positive label.

  • types (dict, optional) – Dictionary of <feature_name> : <data_type> to override the data type of features.

  • transformer_pipeline (datasets.pipeline.TransformerPipeline, optional) – A pipeline of transformations done outside the sdk and need to be applied at the time of scoring

  • storage_options (dict, default: varies by source type) – Parameters passed on to the backend filesystem class.

  • sep (str) – Delimiting character for parsing the input file.

  • kwargs (additional keyword arguments that would be passed to underlying dataframe read API) – based on the format of the dataset

Returns:

  • dataset (An instance of ADSDataset)

  • (or)

  • dataset_with_target (An instance of ADSDatasetWithTarget)

set_score_request(*, sample_weight: bool | None | str = '$UNCHANGED$') → TransformerPipeline

Request metadata passed to the score method.

Note that this method is only relevant if enable_metadata_routing=True (see sklearn.set_config()). Please see User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.

The options for each parameter are:

  • True: metadata is requested, and passed to score if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.

  • False: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it to score.

  • None: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.

  • str: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.

The default (sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.

Added in version 1.3.

Note

This method is only relevant if this estimator is used as a sub-estimator of a meta-estimator, e.g. used inside a Pipeline. Otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters:

sample_weight (str, True, False, or None, default=sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED) – Metadata routing for sample_weight parameter in score.

self – The updated object.
