@davidanthoff what’s the relationship between tabletraits.jl and tables.jl? Edit: and interabletables.jl

Tables.jl was started when @davidanthoff and I had a chance to hack together at JuliaCon 2018 in London for several hours on how we could join forces with TableTraits.jl/IterableTables.jl & DataStreams.jl (it’s better for everyone if there can be a single, standard tables interface). Tables.jl was t…

Thank you for this clarification…Tables.jl sounds very promising and it does make sense for there to be one common interface/ So will the queryverse be transitioning to Tables.jl ? Also how does Tables.jl handle non random access or even iterable structures like distributed tables? What about nest…

I do not plan to migrate the Queryverse.jl to Tables.jl . I’m not on board with a number of important design decisions in Tables.jl (*), and more generally don’t see a reason to start with yet another table interface for Queryverse.jl at this point. TableTraits.jl has been around for a long time, wit…

Understood. Can you elaborate on the interop story?

[image] quinnj: e we’re seeing with StatsModels.jl . It’s non-ideal, for example, to expect packages who want to do table s Query.jl will keep it’s front end dplyr like API, the discussion is on what the backend should look like. I also completely concur with @quinnj about having a unified i…

[image] swissr: I don’t understand this. Why should Queryverse.jl migrate to Tables.jl? Isn’t the goal of Queryverse to provide an API similar to R Tidyverse, how could it change the API? As @datnamer mentioned, this wouldn’t affect the user-facing API of Query.jl at all. [image] swissr: …

Thank you quinnj and datnamer for the detailed answers!
