  • Working with data files too large for RAM
    1 project | /r/learnpython | 22 May 2023
    There's some good answers here, but another option I haven't seen suggested: Convert your txt file to HDF5 (Regardless if you follow my approach here, you should really consider converting your data to anything but a txt file). There's a nice library for working with it in python called h5py. The HDF format is designed specifically with working with very large sets of data (it even has compression options), often scientific in nature, but it's not a database. As far as how this fixes the specific issue you you've described, you can utilize numpy slicing to load one chunk your data at a time. Here's a stackoverflow answer which discusses a solution.
  • How to combine multiple numpy arrays stored on disk which are too big to fit in RAM?

    If it is a dataset, it should consist of individual instances. You could store these instances in separate files. Otherwise, HDF5 is a very convenient storage format. It allows random read/write access to elements of arrays stored on disk and has excellent Python support in form of the h5py package.
  • Is Python really this slow?

    If possible, try to monitor your memory usage during execution and if you see that you are consistently exceeding ~50% (my own rule of thumb, though you may want to discuss this with others as well) of what's available. If you are consistently using most of the available memory, then it's likely worth taking a moment to evaluate whether you can operate on subsets of the data from start to finish, and leave the rest of the data on disk until you are almost ready to use it. Tools like h5py are very helpful in these kinds of situations.
  • Python packages as API end points.

    Yea - I really struggled with getting the correct version on h5py to work with both tensorflow and allenai nlp modules. May be its about finding the right version of libraries. Github Issue. I ended up using pickle to save stuff, like John who commented on 26/03/2020 on the same(closed) issue.
