  • Method Details

    • build

      void build(CacheBlock<?> in)
      Build the transform meta data for the given block input. This call modifies and keeps meta data as encoder state.
      Parameters:
      in - input frame block
    • apply

      MatrixBlock apply(CacheBlock<?> in, MatrixBlock out, int outputCol)
      Apply the generated metadata to the FrameBlock and saved the result in out.
      Parameters:
      in - input frame block
      out - output matrix block
      outputCol - is a offset in the output matrix. column in FrameBlock + outputCol = column in out
      Returns:
      output matrix block
    • allocateMetaData

      void allocateMetaData(FrameBlock meta)
      Pre-allocate a FrameBlock for metadata collection.
      Parameters:
      meta - frame block
    • getMetaData

      FrameBlock getMetaData(FrameBlock out)
      Construct a frame block out of the transform meta data.
      Parameters:
      out - output frame block
      Returns:
      output frame block?
    • initMetaData

      void initMetaData(FrameBlock meta)
      Sets up the required meta data for a subsequent call to apply.
      Parameters:
      meta - frame block
    • prepareBuildPartial

      void prepareBuildPartial()
      Allocates internal data structures for partial build.
    • buildPartial

      void buildPartial(FrameBlock in)
      Partial build of internal data structures (e.g., in distributed spark operations).
      Parameters:
      in - input frame block
    • updateIndexRanges

      void updateIndexRanges(long[] beginDims, long[] endDims, int offset)
      Update index-ranges to after encoding. Note that only Dummycoding changes the ranges.
      Parameters:
      beginDims - begin dimensions of range
      endDims - end dimensions of range
      offset - is applied to begin and endDims
