TileDB C++ API Reference¶

Context¶

class tiledb::Context¶

A TileDB context wraps a TileDB storage manager “instance.” Most objects and functions will require a Context.

Internal error handling is also defined by the Context; the default error handler throws a TileDBError with a specific message.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;
// Use ctx when creating other objects:
tiledb::ArraySchema schema(ctx, TILEDB_SPARSE);

// Set a custom error handler:
ctx.set_error_handler([](const std::string &msg) {
    std::cerr << msg << std::endl;
});

A new Dimension object.

Parameters

ctx: The TileDB context.
name: The dimension name.
datatype: The dimension datatype.
domain: The dimension domain. A pair [lower,upper] of inclusive bounds.
extent: The tile extent on the dimension.

Domain¶

class tiledb::Domain¶

Represents the domain of an array.

A Domain defines the set of Dimension objects for a given array. The properties of a Domain derive from the underlying dimensions. A Domain is a component of an ArraySchema.

Example:

Note: The dimension can only be signed or unsigned integral types, as well as floating point for sparse array domains.

tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Domain domain;

// Note the dimension bounds are inclusive.
auto d1 = tiledb::Dimension::create<int>(ctx, "d1", {-10, 10});
auto d2 = tiledb::Dimension::create<uint64_t>(ctx, "d2", {1, 10});
auto d3 = tiledb::Dimension::create<int>(ctx, "d3", {-100, 100});

domain.add_dimension(d1);
domain.add_dimension(d2); // Throws error, all dims must be same type
domain.add_dimension(d3);

domain.cell_num(); // (10 - -10 + 1) * (10 - 1 + 1) = 210 max cells
domain.type(); // TILEDB_INT32, determined from the dimensions
domain.rank(); // 2, d1 and d2

tiledb::ArraySchema schema(ctx, TILEDB_DENSE);
schema.set_domain(domain); // Set the array's domain

Public Functions

std::shared_ptr<tiledb_domain_t> ptr() const¶: Returns a shared pointer to the C TileDB domain object.

Attribute¶

class tiledb::Attribute¶

Describes an attribute of an Array cell.

An attribute specifies a name and datatype for a particular value in each array cell. There are 3 supported attribute types:

Fundamental types, such as char, int, double, uint64_t, etc..
Fixed sized arrays: T[N] or std::array<T, N>, where T is a fundamental type
Variable length data: std::string, std::vector<T> where T is a fundamental type

Fixed-size array types using POD types like std::array<T, N> are internally converted to byte-array attributes. E.g. an attribute of type std::array<float, 3> will be created as an attribute of type TILEDB_CHAR with cell_val_num sizeof(std::array<float, 3>).

Therefore, for fixed-length attributes it is recommended to use C-style arrays instead, e.g. float[3] instead of std::array<float, 3>.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
auto a2 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::string>(ctx, "a2");
auto a3 = tiledb::Attribute::create<float[3]>(ctx, "a3");

// Change compression scheme
tiledb::FilterList filters(ctx);
filters.add_filter({ctx, TILEDB_FILTER_BZIP2});
a1.set_filter_list(filters);

// Add attributes to a schema
tiledb::ArraySchema schema(ctx, TILEDB_DENSE);
schema.add_attributes(a1, a2, a3);

Public Functions

Attribute(const Context &ctx, const std::string &name, tiledb_datatype_t type)¶

Construct an attribute with a name and enumerated type. cell_val_num will be set to 1.

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context
name: Name of attribute
type: Enumerated type of attribute

Attribute(const Context &ctx, const std::string &name, tiledb_datatype_t type, const FilterList &filter_list)¶: Construct an attribute with an enumerated type and given filter list.

std::string name() const¶: Returns the name of the attribute.

tiledb_datatype_t type() const¶: Returns the attribute datatype.

uint64_t cell_size() const¶

Returns the size (in bytes) of one cell on this attribute. For variable-sized attributes returns TILEDB_VAR_NUM.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
auto a2 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::string>(ctx, "a2");
auto a3 = tiledb::Attribute::create<float[3]>(ctx, "a3");
auto a4 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::array<float, 3>>(ctx, "a4");
a1.cell_size();    // Returns sizeof(int)
a2.cell_size();    // Variable sized attribute, returns TILEDB_VAR_NUM
a3.cell_size();    // Returns 3 * sizeof(float)
a4.cell_size();    // Stored as byte array, returns sizeof(char).

unsigned cell_val_num() const¶

Returns number of values of one cell on this attribute. For variable-sized attributes returns TILEDB_VAR_NUM.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
auto a2 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::string>(ctx, "a2");
auto a3 = tiledb::Attribute::create<float[3]>(ctx, "a3");
auto a4 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::array<float, 3>>(ctx, "a4");
a1.cell_val_num();   // Returns 1
a2.cell_val_num();   // Variable sized attribute, returns TILEDB_VAR_NUM
a3.cell_val_num();   // Returns 3
a4.cell_val_num();   // Stored as byte array, returns
                        sizeof(std::array<float, 3>).

Attribute &set_cell_val_num(unsigned num)¶

Sets the number of attribute values per cell. This is inferred from the type parameter of the Attribute::create<T>() function, but can also be set manually.

Example:

// a1 and a2 are equivalent:
auto a1 = Attribute::create<std::vector<int>>(...);
auto a2 = Attribute::create<int>(...);
a2.set_cell_val_num(TILEDB_VAR_NUM);

Return

Reference to this Attribute

Parameters

num: Cell val number to set.

Attribute &set_fill_value(const void *value, uint64_t size)¶

Sets the default fill value for the input attribute. This value will be used for the input attribute whenever querying (1) an empty cell in a dense array, or (2) a non-empty cell (in either dense or sparse array) when values on the input attribute are missing (e.g., if the user writes a subset of the attributes in a write operation).

Applicable to var-sized attributes.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;

// Fixed-sized attribute
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
int32_t value = 0;
uint64_t size = sizeof(value);
a1.set_fill_value(&value, size);

// Var-sized attribute
auto a2 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::string>(ctx, "a2");
std::string value("null");
a2.set_fill_value(value.c_str(), value.size());

Note

A call to cell_val_num sets the fill value of the attribute to its default. Therefore, make sure you invoke set_fill_value after deciding on the number of values this attribute will hold in each cell.

Note

For fixed-sized attributes, the input size should be equal to the cell size.

Parameters

value: The fill value to set.
size: The fill value size in bytes.

void get_fill_value(const void **value, uint64_t *size)¶

Gets the default fill value for the input attribute. This value will be used for the input attribute whenever querying (1) an empty cell in a dense array, or (2) a non-empty cell (in either dense or sparse array) when values on the input attribute are missing (e.g., if the user writes a subset of the attributes in a write operation).

Applicable to both fixed-sized and var-sized attributes.

Example:

// Fixed-sized attribute
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
const int32_t* value;
uint64_t size;
a1.get_fill_value(&value, &size);

// Var-sized attribute
auto a2 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::string>(ctx, "a2");
const char* value;
uint64_t size;
a2.get_fill_value(&value, &size);

Parameters

value: A pointer to the fill value to get.
size: The size of the fill value to get.

Attribute &set_fill_value(const void *value, uint64_t size, uint8_t valid)¶

Sets the default fill value for the input, nullable attribute. This value will be used for the input attribute whenever querying (1) an empty cell in a dense array, or (2) a non-empty cell (in either dense or sparse array) when values on the input attribute are missing (e.g., if the user writes a subset of the attributes in a write operation).

Applicable to var-sized attributes.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;

// Fixed-sized attribute
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
a1.set_nullable(true);
int32_t value = 0;
uint64_t size = sizeof(value);
uint8_t valid = 0;
a1.set_fill_value(&value, size, valid);

// Var-sized attribute
auto a2 = tiledb::Attribute::create<std::string>(ctx, "a2");
a2.set_nullable(true);
std::string value("null");
uint8_t valid = 0;
a2.set_fill_value(value.c_str(), value.size(), valid);

Note

A call to cell_val_num sets the fill value of the attribute to its default. Therefore, make sure you invoke set_fill_value after deciding on the number of values this attribute will hold in each cell.

Note

For fixed-sized attributes, the input size should be equal to the cell size.

Parameters

value: The fill value to set.
size: The fill value size in bytes.
valid: The validity fill value, zero for a null value and non-zero for a valid attribute.

void get_fill_value(const void **value, uint64_t *size, uint8_t *valid)¶

Applicable to both fixed-sized and var-sized attributes.

Example:

// Fixed-sized attribute
auto a1 = tiledb::Attribute::create<int>(ctx, "a1");
a1.set_nullable(true);
const int32_t* value;
uint64_t size;
uint8_t valid;

Array¶

class tiledb::Array¶

Class representing a TileDB array object.

An Array object represents array data in TileDB at some persisted location, e.g. on disk, in an S3 bucket, etc. Once an array has been opened for reading or writing, interact with the data through Query objects.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;

// Create an ArraySchema, add attributes, domain, etc.
tiledb::ArraySchema schema(...);

// Create empty array named "my_array" on persistent storage.
tiledb::Array::create("my_array", schema);

Public Functions

Array(const Context &ctx, const std::string &array_uri, tiledb_query_type_t query_type, const TemporalPolicy temporal_policy = {}, const EncryptionAlgorithm encryption_algorithm = {})¶

Constructor. This opens the array for the given query type. The destructor calls the close() method.

Example:

// Open the array for reading
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/array-name", TILEDB_READ);

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context.
array_uri: The array URI.
query_type: Query type to open the array for.
temporal_policy: The TemporalPolicy with which to open the array.
encryption_algorithm: The EncryptionAlgorithm to set on the array.

Array(const Context &ctx, tiledb_array_t *carray, tiledb_config_t *config)¶

Constructor. This sets the array config.

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb_config_t* config;

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context.
carray: The array.
config: The array’s config.

Array(const Context &ctx, tiledb_array_t *carray, bool own = true)¶

Deletes the fragments written between the input timestamps of an array with the input uri.

Parameters

uri: The URI of the fragments’ parent Array.
timestamp_start: The epoch start timestamp in milliseconds.
timestamp_end: The epoch end timestamp in milliseconds. Use UINT64_MAX for the current timestamp.

void open(tiledb_query_type_t query_type)¶

Opens the array. The array is opened using a query type as input.

This is to indicate that queries created for this Array object will inherit the query type. In other words, Array objects are opened to receive only one type of queries. They can always be closed and be re-opened with another query type. Also there may be many different Array objects created and opened with different query types. For instance, one may create and open an array object array_read for reads and another one array_write for writes, and interleave creation and submission of queries for both these array objects.

Example:

// Open the array for writing
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/array-name", TILEDB_WRITE);
// Close and open again for reading.
array.close();
array.open(TILEDB_READ);

Parameters

query_type: The type of queries the array object will be receiving.

Exceptions

TileDBError: if the array is already open or other error occurred.

void open(tiledb_query_type_t query_type, tiledb_encryption_type_t encryption_type, const std::string &encryption_key)¶

Opens the array. The array is opened using a query type as input.

See Array::open

void open(tiledb_query_type_t query_type, tiledb_encryption_type_t encryption_type, const std::string &encryption_key, uint64_t timestamp)¶

Opens the array. The array is opened using a query type as input.

See Array::open

void reopen()¶

Reopens the array (the array must be already open). This is useful when the array got updated after it got opened and the Array object got created. To sync-up with the updates, the user must either close the array and open with open(), or just use reopen() without closing. This function will be generally faster than the former alternative.

Note: reopening encrypted arrays does not require the encryption key.

Example:

// Open the array for reading
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/array-name", TILEDB_READ);
array.reopen();

Exceptions

TileDBError: if the array was not already open or other error occurred.

void set_open_timestamp_start(uint64_t timestamp_start) const¶: Sets the inclusive starting timestamp when opening this array.

void set_config(const Config &config) const¶

Sets the array config.

Pre: The array must be closed.

Closes the array. The destructor calls this automatically if the underlying pointer is owned.

Example:

tiledb::Array array(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/array-name", TILEDB_READ);
array.close();

template<typename T> std::vector<std::pair<std::string, std::pair<T, T>>> non_empty_domain()¶

Example:

tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/array-name", TILEDB_READ);
// Specify the domain type (example uint32_t)
auto non_empty = array.non_empty_domain<uint32_t>();

// Open the array for writing
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "my_dense_array", TILEDB_WRITE);
Query query(ctx, array);
query.set_layout(TILEDB_GLOBAL_ORDER);
std::vector a1_data = {1, 2, 3};
query.set_data_buffer("a1", a1_data);
query.submit();
query.finalize();
array.close();

Public Types

enum Status¶

The query or query attribute status.

Values:

enumerator FAILED¶: Query failed.

enumerator COMPLETE¶: Query completed (all data has been read)

enumerator INPROGRESS¶: Query is in progress

enumerator INCOMPLETE¶: Query completed (but not all data has been read)

enumerator UNINITIALIZED¶: Query not initialized.

enumerator INITIALIZED¶: Query initialized (strategy created).

Public Functions

Query(const Context &ctx, const Array &array, tiledb_query_type_t type)¶

Creates a TileDB query object.

The query type (read or write) must be the same as the type used to open the array object.

The storage manager also acquires a shared lock on the array. This means multiple read and write queries to the same array can be made concurrently (in TileDB, only consolidation requires an exclusive lock for a short period of time).

Example:

// Open the array for writing
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "my_array", TILEDB_WRITE);
tiledb::Query query(ctx, array, TILEDB_WRITE);

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context
array: Open Array object
type: The TileDB query type

Query(const Context &ctx, const Array &array)¶

Creates a TileDB query object.

The query type (read or write) is inferred from the array object, which was opened with a specific query type.

The storage manager also acquires a shared lock on the array. This means multiple read and write queries to the same array can be made concurrently (in TileDB, only consolidation requires an exclusive lock for a short period of time).

Example:

// Open the array for writing
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Array array(ctx, "my_array", TILEDB_WRITE);
Query query(ctx, array);
// Equivalent to:
// Query query(ctx, array, TILEDB_WRITE);

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context
array: Open Array object

std::shared_ptr<tiledb_query_t> ptr() const¶: Returns a shared pointer to the C TileDB query object.

tiledb_query_type_t query_type() const¶: Returns the query type (read or write).

Query &set_layout(tiledb_layout_t layout)¶

Sets the layout of the cells to be written or read.

Return

Reference to this Query

Parameters

layout: For a write query, this specifies the order of the cells provided by the user in the buffers. For a read query, this specifies the order of the cells that will be retrieved as results and stored in the user buffers. The layout can be one of the following:
- TILEDB_COL_MAJOR: This means column-major order with respect to the subarray.
- TILEDB_ROW_MAJOR: This means row-major order with respect to the subarray.
- TILEDB_GLOBAL_ORDER: This means that cells are stored or retrieved in the array global cell order.
- TILEDB_UNORDERED: This is applicable only to writes for sparse arrays, or for sparse writes to dense arrays. It specifies that the cells are unordered and, hence, TileDB must sort the cells in the global cell order prior to writing.

tiledb_layout_t query_layout() const¶: Returns the layout of the query.

Query &set_condition(const QueryCondition &condition)¶

Sets the read query condition.

Note that only one query condition may be set on a query at a time. This overwrites any previously set query condition. To apply more than one condition at a time, use the QueryCondition::combine API to construct a single object.

Return

Reference to this Query

Parameters

condition: The query condition object.

const Array &array()¶: Returns the array of the query.

Status query_status() const¶: Returns the query status.

bool has_results() const¶: Returns true if the query has results. Applicable only to read queries (it returns false for write queries).

Status submit()¶

Submits the query. Call will block until query is complete.

Note: finalize() must be invoked after finish writing in global layout (via repeated invocations of submit()), in order to flush any internal state. For the case of reads, if the returned status is TILEDB_INCOMPLETE, TileDB could not fit the entire result in the user’s buffers. In this case, the user should consume the read results (if any), optionally reset the buffers with set_data_buffer(), and then resubmit the query until the status becomes TILEDB_COMPLETED. If all buffer sizes after the termination of this function become 0, then this means that no useful data was read into the buffers, implying that the larger buffers are needed for the query to proceed. In this case, the users must reallocate their buffers (increasing their size), reset the buffers with set_data_buffer(), and resubmit the query.
Return: Query status

template<typename Fn> void submit_async(const Fn &callback)¶

Submit an async query, with callback. Call returns immediately.

Example:

// Create query
tiledb::Query query(...);
// Submit with callback
query.submit_async([]() { std::cout << "Callback: query completed.\n"; });

Note: Same notes apply as Query::submit().

Parameters

callback: Callback function.

void submit_async()¶

Submit an async query, with no callback. Call returns immediately.

Example:

// Create query
tiledb::Query query(...);
// Submit with no callback
query.submit_async();

Note: Same notes apply as Query::submit().

void finalize()¶: Flushes all internal state of a query object and finalizes the query. This is applicable only to global layout writes. It has no effect for any other query type.

void submit_and_finalize()¶: Submits and finalizes the last tile of a global order write. For remote TileDB arrays, this is optimized to use only one request to perform both the submit and finalize.

std::unordered_map<std::string, std::pair<uint64_t, uint64_t>> result_buffer_elements() const¶

Returns the number of elements in the result buffers from a read query. This is a map from the attribute name to a pair of values.

The first is number of elements (offsets) for var size attributes, and the second is number of elements in the data buffer. For fixed sized attributes (and coordinates), the first is always 0.

For variable sized attributes: the first value is the number of cells read, i.e. the number of offsets read for the attribute. The second value is the total number of elements in the data buffer. For example, a read query on a variable-length float attribute that reads three cells would return 3 for the first number in the pair. If the total amount of floats read across the three cells was 10, then the second number in the pair would be 10.

For fixed-length attributes, the first value is always 0. The second value is the total number of elements in the data buffer. For example, a read query on a single float attribute that reads three cells would return 3 for the second value. A read query on a float attribute with cell_val_num 2 that reads three cells would return 3 * 2 = 6 for the second value.

If the query has not been submitted, an empty map is returned.

Example:

// Submit a read query.
query.submit();
auto result_el = query.result_buffer_elements();

// For fixed-sized attributes, `.second` is the number of elements
// that were read for the attribute across all cells. Note: number of
// elements and not number of bytes.
auto num_a1_elements = result_el["a1"].second;

// Coords are also fixed-sized.
auto num_coords = result_el["__coords"].second;

// In variable attributes, e.g. std::string type, need two buffers,
// one for offsets and one for cell data ("elements").
auto num_a2_offsets = result_el["a2"].first;
auto num_a2_elements = result_el["a2"].second;

std::unordered_map<std::string, std::tuple<uint64_t, uint64_t, uint64_t>> result_buffer_elements_nullable() const¶

Returns the number of elements in the result buffers from a read query. This is a map from the attribute name to a tuple of values.

The first is number of elements (offsets) for var size attributes, and the second is number of elements in the data buffer. For fixed sized attributes (and coordinates), the first is always 0. The third element is the size of the validity bytemap buffer.

For variable sized attributes: the first value is the number of cells read, i.e. the number of offsets read for the attribute. The second value is the total number of elements in the data buffer. For example, a read query on a variable-length float attribute that reads three cells would return 3 for the first number in the pair. If the total amount of floats read across the three cells was 10, then the second number in the pair would be 10.

For fixed-length attributes, the first value is always 0. The second value is the total number of elements in the data buffer. For example, a read query on a single float attribute that reads three cells would return 3 for the second value. A read query on a float attribute with cell_val_num 2 that reads three cells would return 3 * 2 = 6 for the second value.

If the query has not been submitted, an empty map is returned.

Example:

// Submit a read query.
query.submit();
auto result_el = query.result_buffer_elements_nullable();

// For fixed-sized attributes, the second tuple element is the number of
// elements that were read for the attribute across all cells. Note: number
// of elements and not number of bytes.
auto num_a1_elements = std::get<1>(result_el["a1"]);

// In variable attributes, e.g. std::string type, need two buffers,
// one for offsets and one for cell data ("elements").
auto num_a2_offsets = std::get<0>(result_el["a2"]);
auto num_a2_elements = std::get<1>(result_el["a2"]);

// For both fixed-size and variable-sized attributes, the third tuple
// element is the number of elements in the validity bytemap.
auto num_a1_validity_values = std::get<2>(result_el["a1"]);
auto num_a2_validity_values = std::get<2>(result_el["a2"]);

tiledb::VFS::filebuf buff(vfs);

// Create new file, truncating it if it exists.
buff.open("file.txt", std::ios::out);
std::ostream os(&buff);
if (!os.good()) throw std::runtime_error("Error opening file");

std::string str = "This will be written to the file.";

os.write(str.data(), str.size());
// Alternatively:
// os << str;
os.flush();
buff.close();

Example (read from file):

// Create the file buffer.
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::VFS vfs(ctx);
tiledb::VFS::filebuf buff(vfs);
std::string file_uri = "s3://bucket-name/file.txt";

buff.open(file_uri, std::ios::in);
std::istream is(&buff);
if (!is.good()) throw std::runtime_error("Error opening file);

// Read all contents from the file
std::string contents;

Functions

template<typename T, typename E = typename std::vector<T>> std::vector<E> group_by_cell(const std::vector<uint64_t> &offsets, const std::vector<T> &data, uint64_t num_offsets, uint64_t num_data)¶

Convert an (offset, data) vector pair into a single vector of vectors. Useful for “unpacking” variable-length attribute data from a read query result in offsets + data form to a vector of per-cell data.

The offsets must be given in units of bytes.

Example:

std::vector<uint64_t> offsets;
std::vector<char> data;
...
query.set_data_buffer("attr_name", data);
query.set_offsets_buffer("attr_name", offsets);
query.submit();
...
auto attr_results = query.result_buffer_elements()["attr_name"];

// cell_vals length will be equal to the number of cells read by the query.
// Each element is a std::vector<char> with each cell's data for "attr_name"
auto cell_vals =
  group_by_cell(offsets, data, attr_results.first, attr_results.second);

// Reconstruct a std::string value for the first cell:
std::string cell_val(cell_vals[0].data(), cell_vals[0].size());

Note

This function, and the other utility functions, copy all of the input data when constructing their return values. Thus, these may be expensive for large amounts of data.

Return

std::vector<E>

class tiledb::Group¶

Public Functions

Group(const Context &ctx, const std::string &group_uri, tiledb_query_type_t query_type)¶

Constructor. Opens the group for the given query type. The destructor calls the close() method.

Example:

// Open the group for reading
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Group group(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/group-name", TILEDB_READ);

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context.
group_uri: The group URI.
query_type: Query type to open the group for.

Group(const Context &ctx, const std::string &group_uri, tiledb_query_type_t query_type, const Config &config)¶

Constructor. Sets a config to the group and opens it for the given query type. The destructor calls the close() method.

Example:

// Open the group for reading
tiledb::Context ctx;
tiledb::Config cfg;
cfg["rest.username"] = "user";

Parameters

ctx: TileDB context.
group_uri: The group URI.
query_type: Query type to open the group for.
config: COnfiguration parameters

~Group()¶: Destructor; calls close().

void open(tiledb_query_type_t query_type)¶

Opens the group using a query type as input.

This is to indicate that queries created for this Group object will inherit the query type. In other words, Group objects are opened to receive only one type of queries. They can always be closed and be re-opened with another query type. Also there may be many different Group objects created and opened with different query types. For instance, one may create and open an group object group_read for reads and another one group_write for writes, and interleave creation and submission of queries for both these group objects.

Example:

// Open the group for writing
tiledb::Group group(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/group-name", TILEDB_WRITE);
// Close and open again for reading.
group.close();
group.open(TILEDB_READ);

Parameters

query_type: The type of queries the group object will be receiving.

Exceptions

TileDBError: if the group is already open or other error occurred.

void set_config(const Config &config) const¶

Sets the group config.

Pre: The group must be closed.

void close(bool should_throw = true)¶

Closes the group. This must be called directly if you wish to check that any changes to the group were committed. This is automatically called by the destructor but any errors encountered are logged instead of throwing an exception from a destructor.

Example:

tiledb::Group group(ctx, "s3://bucket-name/group-name", TILEDB_READ);
group.close();

bool is_open() const¶: Checks if the group is open.

std::string uri() const¶: Returns the group URI.
