dask_expr._collection.DataFrame.compute

dask_expr._collection.DataFrame.compute¶

DataFrame.compute(fuse=True, **kwargs)¶

Compute this DataFrame.

This turns a lazy Dask DataFrame into an in-memory pandas DataFrame. The entire dataset must fit into memory before calling this operation.

The optimizer runs over the DataFrame before triggering the computation. The optimizer injects a repartition operation that reduces the partition count to 1 to enable better optimization strategies.

Parameters

fusebool, default True: Whether to fuse the expression tree before computing. Fusing significantly reduces the number of tasks and improves performance. It shouldn’t be disabled unless absolutely necessary.
kwargs: Extra keywords to forward to the base compute function.
