06/27/2022, 6:23 PMIf you post the node function syntax we can try and work it out, but double check that the object being returned is definitely a df

06/27/2022, 6:43 PMI have posted my node function in this gist https://gist.github.com/sjster/f5a51f19bf818d540327ac7b0f8f5769

06/27/2022, 6:46 PMCan you confirm how many columns are present? if its 0 or 1 the df may just be the index which is technically a series. I always use merge rather than join because I find it easier reason with.

sjster
06/27/2022, 6:52 PMIt says that it has around 43 columns
Let me try this with a merge

06/27/2022, 6:52 PMAnd what does your catalog entry look like? Discord supports snippets so you don't have to create a gist
It looks like your dataframe is correct

06/27/2022, 6:57 PMStill figuring out how to use discord :)
Copy code
yaml
joined_es_tu_target:
type: PartitionedDataSet
dataset:
type: pandas.ParquetDataSet
save_args:
index: False
path: data/03_primary/joined_es_tu_target
filename_suffix: ".parquet"d

06/27/2022, 7:01 PMThat looks correct (you can do ```yaml to make that highlight correctly)
So can you try without the index save argument?
And finally can I see the node syntax in your pipeline
Oh also you need to return a dictionary of chunks sorry forgot to mention that

06/27/2022, 7:05 PMAh ok, let me try that
For reference, my node logic
Copy code
python
def read_inputs_join(ev: pd.DataFrame, tu: pd.DataFrame, df_target: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
print(ev.head())
print(tu.head())
ev.set_index('IDENTITY_ID', inplace=True)
tu.set_index('IDENTITY_ID', inplace=True)
df_target.set_index('IDENTITY_ID', inplace=True)
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
log.info(f"Length of ev is {len(ev)}")
log.info(f"Length of tu is {len(tu)}")
log.info(f"Length of target is {len(df_target)}")
df_joined = ev.join(tu, how='inner')
df_ev_tu_target = df_target.join(df_joined, how='inner')
print("Target type is ",type(df_ev_tu_target))
print("Target columns ",df_ev_tu_target.columns)
print("Target columns ",df_ev_tu_target.head())
print("Average age of credit ",df_ev_tu_target['AVG_AGE_OF_CREDIT'])
log.info(f"Length of target joined with es_tu is {len(df_ev_tu_target)}")
return(df_ev_tu_target)Do the chunks correspond to columns?

06/27/2022, 7:22 PMNo more like chunks of rows so you can break it up typically two ways
1) dict(df.groupby(value)
2) chunking by some number of rows
s
sjster
06/27/2022, 7:29 PMI have about 4 million rows, so chunking to about 800k rows per chunk for 5 chunks
I want to say that the save worked!
