我想知道哪种格式在保存为hdf文件(df.to_hdf
)时读取速度更快,占用的内存更少。
是否有一般规则或某些情况应该首选其中一种格式?
答案 0 :(得分:0)
IMO长格式更为可取,因为您将获得更少的元数据开销(有关列名,dtypes等的信息)。
就内存使用而言,它们或多或少相同:
In [22]: long = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 10**6, (10**4, 4)))
In [23]: wide = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 10**6, (4, 10**4)))
In [24]: long.shape
Out[24]: (10000, 4)
In [25]: wide.shape
Out[25]: (4, 10000)
In [26]: sys.getsizeof(long)
Out[26]: 160104
In [27]: sys.getsizeof(wide)
Out[27]: 160104
In [28]: wide.info()
