Awkward Array meets Dask

dask-awkward

Connecting awkward-array and Dask.

This is alpha software without any guaranteed API stability.

The dask-awkward project is affiliated with awkward-array's v1 to v2 transition. Read more about that here.

Installing

If you are interested in experimenting with dask-awkward we recommend installing from the main branch:

pip install git+https://github.com/ContinuumIO/dask-awkward@main

The awkward-array project is working on version 2 of the core awkward Python library; awkward version 1.8 includes many components of what will be version 2, but in the awkward._v2 module. Installing dask-awkward requires awkward>=1.9.0rc5.

It's recommended to have a bleeding edge version of awkward installed with:

pip install git+https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward@main

Since dask-awkward is designed for awkward version 2, the concrete, high-level array object (ak.Array) that we use is actually the awkward._v2.Array object.
