Function take_arrays

pub fn take_arrays(
    arrays: &[ArrayRef],
    indices: &dyn Array,
    options: Option<TakeOptions>,
) -> Result<Vec<ArrayRef>, ArrowError>

For each ArrayRef in the Vec<ArrayRef>, take elements by index and create a new Vec<ArrayRef> from those indices.

Errors

This function errors whenever:

• An index cannot be casted to usize (typically 32 bit architectures)
• An index is out of bounds and options is set to check bounds.

Safety

When options is not set to check bounds, taking indexes after len will panic.

Examples

let string_values = Arc::new(StringArray::from(vec!["zero", "one", "two"]));
let values = Arc::new(UInt32Array::from(vec![0, 1, 2]));

// Take items at index 2, and 1:
let indices = UInt32Array::from(vec![2, 1]);
let taken_arrays = take_arrays(&[string_values, values], &indices, None).unwrap();
let taken_string = taken_arrays[0].as_string::<i32>();
assert_eq!(*taken_string, StringArray::from(vec!["two", "one"]));
let taken_values = taken_arrays[1].as_primitive();
assert_eq!(*taken_values, UInt32Array::from(vec![2, 1]));
