pyarrow.plasma.PlasmaBuffer¶

class pyarrow.plasma.PlasmaBuffer¶

Bases: Buffer

This is the type returned by calls to get with a PlasmaClient.

We define our own class instead of directly returning a buffer object so that we can add a custom destructor which notifies Plasma that the object is no longer being used, so the memory in the Plasma store backing the object can potentially be freed.

Attributes:

object_idObjectID: The ID of the object in the buffer.
clientPlasmaClient: The PlasmaClient that we use to communicate with the store and manager.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)¶

Methods

`__init__`(args, *kwargs)
`equals`(self, Buffer other)	Determine if two buffers contain exactly the same data.
`hex`(self)	Compute hexadecimal representation of the buffer.
`slice`(self[, offset, length])	Slice this buffer.
`to_pybytes`(self)	Return this buffer as a Python bytes object.

Attributes

`address`	The buffer's address, as an integer.
`is_cpu`	Whether the buffer is CPU-accessible.
`is_mutable`	Whether the buffer is mutable.
`parent`
`size`	The buffer size in bytes.

address¶

The buffer’s address, as an integer.

The returned address may point to CPU or device memory. Use is_cpu() to disambiguate.

equals(self, Buffer other)¶

Determine if two buffers contain exactly the same data.

Parameters:

otherBuffer

Returns:

are_equalbool: True if buffer contents and size are equal

hex(self)¶

Compute hexadecimal representation of the buffer.

Returns:

: bytes

is_cpu¶: Whether the buffer is CPU-accessible.

is_mutable¶: Whether the buffer is mutable.

parent¶

size¶: The buffer size in bytes.

slice(self, offset=0, length=None)¶

Slice this buffer. Memory is not copied.

You can also use the Python slice notation buffer[start:stop].

Parameters:

offsetint, default 0: Offset from start of buffer to slice.
lengthint, default None: Length of slice (default is until end of Buffer starting from offset).

Returns:

slicedBuffer: A logical view over this buffer.

to_pybytes(self)¶: Return this buffer as a Python bytes object. Memory is copied.
