Superclass for streaming collections

Do not create this class directly, use one of the subclasses instead.

class streamz.batch.Batch(stream=None, example=None)

A Stream of tuples or lists

This streaming collection manages batches of Python objects such as lists of text or dictionaries. By batching many elements together we reduce overhead from Python.

This library is typically used at the early stages of data ingestion before handing off to streaming dataframes

Examples

>>> text = Streaming.from_file(myfile)  
>>> b = text.partition(100).map(json.loads)

rolling(window, min_periods=1)

Compute rolling aggregations

When followed by an aggregation method like sum, mean, or std this produces a new Streaming dataframe whose values are aggregated over that window.

The window parameter can be either a number of rows or a timedelta like ``”2 minutes”` in which case the index should be a datetime index.

This operates by keeping enough of a backlog of records to maintain an accurate stream. It performs a copy at every added dataframe. Because of this it may be slow if the rolling window is much larger than the average stream element.

Parameters:
window: int or timedelta

Window over which to roll
Returns:
Rolling object

window(n=None, value=None)

Sliding window operations

Windowed operations are defined over a sliding window of data, either with a fixed number of elements:

>>> df.window(n=10).sum()  # sum of the last ten elements

or over an index value range (index must be monotonic):

>>> df.window(value='2h').mean()  # average over the last two hours

Windowed dataframes support all normal arithmetic, aggregations, and groupby-aggregations.

See also

DataFrame.rolling
mimic’s Pandas rolling aggregations

Examples

>>> df.window(n=10).std()
>>> df.window(value='2h').count()

>>> w = df.window(n=100)
>>> w.groupby(w.name).amount.sum()
>>> w.groupby(w.x % 10).y.var()
class streamz.dataframe.Rolling(sdf, window, min_periods)

Rolling aggregations

This intermediate class enables rolling aggregations across either a fixed number of rows or a time window.

Examples

>>> sdf.rolling(10).x.mean()  
>>> sdf.rolling('100ms').x.mean()
