LSDB v0.1 release
We're very pleased to announce the release of LSDB v0.1. We have APIs in place to support several basic end-to-end analysis operations. Included in this release:
Catalog-level API, wrapping dask dataframes
Create catalog from hipscat-on-disk or in-memory pandas dataframe
Crossmatch, using 3D kdtree
Filter catalog using cone search or polygon search
Wrappers for .query, .assign, and .merge operations on dask dataframes
Join catalogs by equijoin column or by association table (pre-computed crossmatch)
Read data from cloud buckets
Write analysis results to new hipscat catalog
Benchmarks of common operations, and some initial performance tuning
And LOTS of small polish and bug fixes
We will talk a little tomorrow about our priorities for the coming quarter, as they relate to LSDB as well as hipscat and hipscat-import.
