capi_return_t tiledb_array_open(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_array_t *array, tiledb_query_type_t query_type)¶

Opens a TileDB array. The array is opened using a query type as input. This is to indicate that queries created for this tiledb_array_t object will inherit the query type. In other words, tiledb_array_t 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 tiledb_array_t objects created and opened with different query types.

Example:

tiledb_array_t* array;
tiledb_array_alloc(ctx, "hdfs:///tiledb_arrays/my_array", &array);
tiledb_array_open(ctx, array, TILEDB_READ);

Note

If the same array object is opened again without being closed, an error will be thrown.

Note

The config should be set before opening an array.

Note

If the array is to be opened at a specfic time interval, the timestamp{start, end} values should be set to a config that’s set to the array object before opening the array.

Parameters:

ctx – [in] The TileDB context.
array – [in] The array object to be opened.
query_type – [in] The type of queries the array object will be receiving.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

Checks if the array is open.

Parameters:

ctx – [in] The TileDB context.
array – [in] The array to be checked.
is_open – [out] 1 if the array is open and 0 otherwise.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

capi_return_t tiledb_array_reopen(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_array_t *array)¶

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

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

Example:

tiledb_array_t* array;
tiledb_array_alloc(ctx, "hdfs:///tiledb_arrays/my_array", &array);
tiledb_array_open(ctx, array, TILEDB_READ);
tiledb_array_reopen(ctx, array);

Note

This is applicable only to arrays opened for reads.

Note

If the array is to be reopened after opening at a specfic time interval, the timestamp{start, end} values and subsequent config object should be reset for the array before reopening.

Parameters:

ctx – [in] The TileDB context.
array – [in] The array object to be re-opened.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

capi_return_t tiledb_array_set_config(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_array_t *array, tiledb_config_t *config)¶

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:

// Assumming a int32 attribute
int32_t value = 0;
uint64_t size = sizeof(value);
uint8_t valid = 0;

int32_t tiledb_query_set_data_buffer(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query, const char *name, void *buffer, uint64_t *buffer_size)¶

Sets the buffer for an attribute/dimension to a query, which will either hold the values to be written (if it is a write query), or will hold the results from a read query.

The caller owns the buffer provided and is responsible for freeing the memory associated with it. For writes, the buffer holds values to be written which can be freed at any time after query completion. For reads, the buffer is allocated by the caller and will contain data read by the query after completion. The freeing of this memory is up to the caller once they are done referencing the read data.

Example:

int32_t a1[100];
uint64_t a1_size = sizeof(a1);
tiledb_query_set_data_buffer(ctx, query, "a1", a1, &a1_size);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The TileDB query.
name – The attribute/dimension to set the buffer for. Note that zipped coordinates have special name TILEDB_COORDS.
buffer – The buffer that either have the input data to be written, or will hold the data to be read.
buffer_size – In the case of writes, this is the size of buffer in bytes. In the case of reads, this initially contains the allocated size of buffer, but after the termination of the query it will contain the size of the useful (read) data in buffer.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

int32_t tiledb_query_set_offsets_buffer(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query, const char *name, uint64_t *buffer, uint64_t *buffer_size)¶

Sets the starting offsets of each cell value in the data buffer.

The caller owns the buffer provided and is responsible for freeing the memory associated with it. For writes, the buffer holds offsets to be written which can be freed at any time after query completion. For reads, the buffer is allocated by the caller and will contain offset data read by the query after completion. The freeing of this memory is up to the caller once they are done referencing the read data.

Example:

uint64_t a1[100];
uint64_t a1_size = sizeof(a1);
tiledb_query_set_offsets_buffer(ctx, query, "a1", a1, &a1_size);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The TileDB query.
name – The attribute/dimension to set the buffer for. Note that zipped coordinates have special name TILEDB_COORDS.
buffer – This buffer holds the starting offsets of each cell value in buffer_val.
buffer_size – In the case of writes, it is the size of buffer_off in bytes. In the case of reads, this initially contains the allocated size of buffer_off, but after the end of the query (tiledb_query_submit) it will contain the size of the useful (read) data in buffer_off.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

int32_t tiledb_query_set_validity_buffer(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query, const char *name, uint8_t *buffer, uint64_t *buffer_size)¶

Sets the validity byte map that has exactly one value for each value in the data buffer.

The caller owns the buffer provided and is responsible for freeing the memory associated with it. For writes, the buffer holds validity values to be written which can be freed at any time after query completion. For reads, the buffer is allocated by the caller and will contain the validity map read by the query after completion. The freeing of this memory is up to the caller once they are done referencing the read data.

Example:

uint8_t a1[100];
uint64_t a1_size = sizeof(a1);
tiledb_query_set_validity_buffer(ctx, query, "a1", a1, &a1_size);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The TileDB query.
name – The attribute/dimension to set the buffer for. Note that zipped coordinates have special name TILEDB_COORDS.
buffer – The validity byte map that has exactly one value for each value in buffer.
buffer_size – In the case of writes, this is the size of buffer_validity_bytemap in bytes. In the case of reads, this initially contains the allocated size of buffer_validity_bytemap, but after the termination of the query it will contain the size of the useful (read) data in buffer_validity_bytemap.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The TileDB query.
name – The attribute/dimension to get the buffer for. Note that the zipped coordinates have special name TILEDB_COORDS.
buffer – The buffer to retrieve.
buffer_size – A pointer to the size of the buffer. Note that this is a double pointer and returns the original variable address from set_buffer.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The TileDB query.
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 reads and writes for sparse arrays, or for sparse writes to dense arrays. For writes, it specifies that the cells are unordered and, hence, TileDB must sort the cells in the global cell order prior to writing. For reads, TileDB will return the cells without any particular order, which will often lead to better performance.

int32_t tiledb_query_set_condition(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query, const tiledb_query_condition_t *cond)¶

Sets the query condition to be applied on a read.

Example:

tiledb_query_condition_t* query_condition;
tiledb_query_condition_alloc(ctx, &query_condition);

  ctx, query_condition, "longitude", &value, sizeof(value), TILEDB_LT);
tiledb_query_set_condition(ctx, query, query_condition);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The TileDB query.
cond – The TileDB query condition.

int32_t tiledb_query_finalize(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query)¶

Example:

tiledb_query_t* query;
// ... Your code here ... //
tiledb_query_finalize(ctx, query);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The query object to be flushed.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

int32_t tiledb_query_submit_and_finalize(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query)¶

Submits and finalizes the query. This is applicable only to global layout writes. The function will error out if called on a query with non global layout. Its purpose is to submit the final chunk (partial or full tile) in a global order write query. tiledb_query_submit_and_finalize drops the tile alignment restriction of the buffers (i.e. compared to the regular global layout submit call) given the last chunk of a global order write is most frequently smaller in size than a tile.

Example:

tiledb_query_t* query;
while (stop_condition) {
  tiledb_query_set_buffer(ctx, query, attr, tile_aligned_buffer, &size);
  tiledb_query_submit(ctx, query);
}
tiledb_query_set_buffer(ctx, query, attr, final_chunk, &size);
tiledb_query_submit_and_finalize(ctx, query);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The query object to be flushed.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

Example:

tiledb_query_free(&query);

Parameters:

query – The query object to be deleted.

int32_t tiledb_query_submit(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_query_t *query)¶

Submits a TileDB query.

Example:

tiledb_query_submit(ctx, query);

Note

tiledb_query_finalize must be invoked after finish writing in global layout (via repeated invocations of tiledb_query_submit), in order to flush any internal state.

Note

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 tiledb_query_set_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 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 tiledb_query_set_buffer, and resubmit the query.

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
query – The query to be submitted.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

capi_return_t tiledb_buffer_list_get_num_buffers(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, const tiledb_buffer_list_t *buffer_list, uint64_t *num_buffers)¶

Gets the number of buffers in the buffer list.

Example:

tiledb_buffer_list_t* buffer_list;
tiledb_buffer_list_alloc(ctx, &buffer_list);
uint64_t num_buffers;
tiledb_buffer_list_get_num_buffers(ctx, buffer_list, &num_buffers);
// num_buffers == 0 because the list is empty.

Parameters:

ctx – TileDB context.
buffer_list – The buffer list.
num_buffers – Set to the number of buffers in the buffer list.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success or TILEDB_ERR for error.

capi_return_t tiledb_buffer_list_get_total_size(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, const tiledb_buffer_list_t *buffer_list, uint64_t *total_size)¶

capi_return_t tiledb_buffer_list_get_buffer(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, const tiledb_buffer_list_t *buffer_list, uint64_t buffer_idx, tiledb_buffer_t **buffer)¶

Gets the buffer at the given index in the buffer list. The returned buffer object is simply a pointer to memory managed by the underlying buffer list, meaning this function does not perform a copy.

It is the caller’s responsibility to free the returned buffer with tiledb_buffer_free. Since the returned buffer object does not “own” the underlying allocation, the underlying allocation is not freed when freeing it with tiledb_buffer_free.

Example:

tiledb_buffer_list_t* buffer_list;
// Create and populate the buffer_list

// Get the buffer at index 0.
tiledb_buffer_t *buff0;
tiledb_buffer_list_get_buffer(ctx, buffer_list, 0, &buff0);

// Always free the returned buffer object
tiledb_buffer_free(&buff0);
tiledb_buffer_list_free(&buffer_list);

Parameters:

ctx – TileDB context.
buffer_list – The buffer list.
buffer_idx – Index of buffer to get from the buffer list.
buffer – Set to a newly allocated buffer object pointing to the underlying allocation in the buffer list corresponding to the buffer.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success or TILEDB_ERR for error.

capi_return_t tiledb_buffer_list_flatten(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, tiledb_buffer_list_t *buffer_list, tiledb_buffer_t **buffer)¶

Copies and concatenates all the data in the buffer list into a new buffer.

Example:

tiledb_buffer_t* buff;
tiledb_buffer_list_flatten(ctx, buffer_list, &buff);
// ...
tiledb_buffer_free(&buff);

Parameters:

ctx – TileDB context.
buffer_list – The buffer list.
buffer – Will be set to a newly allocated buffer holding a copy of the concatenated data from the buffer list.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success or TILEDB_ERR for error.

int32_t tiledb_object_walk(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, const char *path, tiledb_walk_order_t order, int32_t (*callback)(const char*, tiledb_object_t, void*), void *data)¶

Walks (iterates) over the TileDB objects contained in path. The traversal is done recursively in the order defined by the user. The user provides a callback function which is applied on each of the visited TileDB objects. The iteration continues for as long the callback returns non-zero, and stops when the callback returns 0. Note that this function ignores any object (e.g., file or directory) that is not TileDB-related.

Example:

tiledb_object_walk(ctx, "arrays", TILEDB_PREORDER, NULL, NULL);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
path – The path in which the traversal will occur.
order – The order of the recursive traversal (e.g., pre-order or post-order.
callback – The callback function to be applied on every visited object. The callback should return 0 if the iteration must stop, and 1 if the iteration must continue. It takes as input the currently visited path, the type of that path (e.g., array or group), and the data provided by the user for the callback. The callback returns -1 upon error. Note that path in the callback will be an absolute path.
data – The data passed in the callback as the last argument.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.

int32_t tiledb_object_ls(tiledb_ctx_t *ctx, const char *path, int32_t (*callback)(const char*, tiledb_object_t, void*), void *data)¶

Similar to tiledb_walk, but now the function visits only the children of path (i.e., it does not recursively continue to the children directories).

Example:

tiledb_object_ls(ctx, "arrays", NULL, NULL);

Parameters:

ctx – The TileDB context.
path – The path in which the traversal will occur.
callback – The callback function to be applied on every visited object. The callback should return 0 if the iteration must stop, and 1 if the iteration must continue. It takes as input the currently visited path, the type of that path (e.g., array or group), and the data provided by the user for the callback. The callback returns -1 upon error. Note that path in the callback will be an absolute path.
data – The data passed in the callback as the last argument.

Returns:

TILEDB_OK for success and TILEDB_ERR for error.
