Function take

pub fn take(
    values: &dyn Array,
    indices: &dyn Array,
    options: Option<TakeOptions>,
) -> Result<ArrayRef, ArrowError>

Take elements by index from Array, creating a new Array from those indexes.

Errors

This function errors whenever:

• An index cannot be casted to usize (typically 32 bit architectures)
• An index is out of bounds and options is set to check bounds.

Safety

When options is not set to check bounds, taking indexes after len will panic.

Examples

let values = StringArray::from(vec!["zero", "one", "two"]);

// Take items at index 2, and 1:
let indices = UInt32Array::from(vec![2, 1]);
let taken = take(&values, &indices, None).unwrap();
let taken = taken.as_string::<i32>();

assert_eq!(*taken, StringArray::from(vec!["two", "one"]));
