polars 是做什麼的?

概述

Polars 是一個基於 Apache Arrow 構建、閃電般快速的 DataFrame 函式庫,適用於 Python 和 Rust。使用 Polars 的基於表達式的 API、延遲評估框架以及高效能資料操作功能,以實現高效率的資料處理、從 pandas 遷移以及資料管線最佳化。

快速入門

安裝與基本使用

安裝本次驗證的當前穩定 Polars 發行版本:

uv pip install "polars==1.41.2"

僅在需要時安裝可選整合套件:

uv pip install "polars[excel,database,fsspec,pandas,numpy]==1.41.2"

基本的 DataFrame 建立與操作:

import polars as pl

# 建立 DataFrame
df = pl.DataFrame({
    "name": ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"],
    "age": [25, 30, 35],
    "city": ["NY", "LA", "SF"]
})

# 選取欄位
df.select("name", "age")

# 篩選資料列
df.filter(pl.col("age") > 25)

# 新增計算欄位
df.with_columns(
    age_plus_10=pl.col("age") + 10
)

核心概念

運算式

運算式是 Polars 操作的基本建構區塊。它們描述對資料進行的轉換,並且可以被組合、重複使用以及最佳化。

關鍵原則:

  • 使用 pl.col("欄位名稱") 來參照欄位
  • 串聯方法以建立複雜的轉換
  • 運算式是延遲的,僅在特定上下文(select、with_columns、filter、group_by)中執行

範例:

# 基於運算式的計算
df.select(
    pl.col("name"),
    (pl.col("age") * 12).alias("age_in_months")
)

延遲 vs 即時評估

即時(DataFrame): 操作立即執行

df = pl.read_csv("file.csv")  # 立即讀取
result = df.filter(pl.col("age") > 25)  # 立即執行

延遲(LazyFrame): 操作建立查詢計劃,並在執行前進行最佳化

lf = pl.scan_csv("file.csv")  # 尚未讀取
result = lf.filter(pl.col("age") > 25).select("name", "age")
df = result.collect()  # 現在執行最佳化後的查詢

何時使用延遲評估:

  • 處理大型資料集
  • 複雜的查詢管線
  • 僅需要部分欄位/資料列時
  • 效能至關重要

延遲評估的優點:

  • 自動查詢最佳化
  • 謂詞下推 (Predicate pushdown)
  • 投影下推 (Projection pushdown)
  • 並行執行

如需詳細概念,請載入 references/core_concepts.md。

常用操作

Select

選取與操作欄位:

# 選取特定欄位
df.select("name", "age")

# 使用運算式選取
df.select(
    pl.col("name"),
    (pl.col("age") * 2).alias("double_age")
)

# 選取符合模式的所有欄位
df.select(pl.col("^.*_id$"))

Filter

根據條件篩選資料列:

# 單一條件
df.filter(pl.col("age") > 25)

# 多重條件(比使用 & 更簡潔)
df.filter(
    pl.col("age") > 25,
    pl.col("city") == "NY"
)

# 複雜條件
df.filter(
    (pl.col("age") > 25) | (pl.col("city") == "LA")
)

With Columns

在保留現有欄位的情況下新增或修改欄位:

# 新增欄位
df.with_columns(
    age_plus_10=pl.col("age") + 10,
    name_upper=pl.col("name").str.to_uppercase()
)

# 平行計算(所有欄位同時計算)
df.with_columns(
    pl.col("value") * 10,
    pl.col("value") * 100,
)

Group By 與聚合

分組資料並計算聚合:

# 基本分組
df.group_by("city").agg(
    pl.col("age").mean().alias("avg_age"),
    pl.len().alias("count")
)

# 多重分組鍵
df.group_by("city", "department").agg(
    pl.col("salary").sum()
)

# 條件式聚合
df.group_by("city").agg(
    (pl.col("age") > 30).sum().alias("over_30")
)

如需詳細操作模式,請載入 references/operations.md。

聚合與視窗函數

聚合函數

group_by 上下文中的常見聚合:

  • pl.len() - 計算資料列數
  • pl.col("x").sum() - 總和
  • pl.col("x").mean() - 平均值
  • pl.col("x").min() / pl.col("x").max() - 極值
  • pl.first() / pl.last() - 第一個/最後一個值

使用 over() 的視窗函數

在保留資料列數量的情況下套用聚合:

# 為每一列新增群組統計值
df.with_columns(
    avg_age_by_city=pl.col("age").mean().over("city"),
    rank_in_city=pl.col("salary").rank().over("city")
)

# 多重分組欄位
df.with_columns(
    group_avg=pl.col("value").mean().over("category", "region")
)

對應策略:

  • group_to_rows(預設):保留原始資料列順序
  • explode:速度更快,但會將群組資料列併在一起
  • join:建立清單欄位

資料 I/O

支援的格式

Polars 支援讀取和寫入:

  • CSV、Parquet、JSON、Excel
  • 資料庫(透過連接器)
  • 雲端儲存(S3、Azure、GCS)
  • Google BigQuery
  • 多檔案/分區檔案

常見 I/O 操作

CSV:

# 即時
df = pl.read_csv("file.csv")
df.write_csv("output.csv")

# 延遲(大型檔案時較佳)
lf = pl.scan_csv("file.csv")
result = lf.filter(...).select(...).collect()

Parquet(推薦用於效能):

df = pl.read_parquet("file.parquet")
df.write_parquet("output.parquet")

JSON:

df = pl.read_json("file.json")
df.write_json("output.json")

如需完整的 I/O 文件,請載入 references/io_guide.md。

轉換

Join

合併 DataFrame:

# 內部連接
df1.join(df2, on="id", how="inner")

# 左外部連接
df1.join(df2, on="id", how="left")

# 在不同欄位名稱上連接
df1.join(df2, left_on="user_id", right_on="id")

串聯

堆疊 DataFrame:

# 垂直(堆疊資料列)
pl.concat([df1, df2], how="vertical")

# 水平(新增欄位)
pl.concat([df1, df2], how="horizontal")

# 對角線(聯集不同結構)
pl.concat([df1, df2], how="diagonal")

Pivot 與 Unpivot

重塑資料:

# Pivot(寬格式)
df.pivot(on="product", values="sales", index="date")

# Unpivot(長格式)
df.unpivot(index="id", on=["col1", "col2"])

如需詳細轉換範例,請載入 references/transformations.md。

從 pandas 遷移

Polars 提供了比 pandas 更佳的效能,且 API 更簡潔。主要差異:

概念差異

  • 無索引:Polars 僅使用整數位置
  • 嚴格型別:無隱含型別轉換
  • 延遲評估:可透過 LazyFrame 使用
  • 預設平行化:操作會自動平行化

常見操作對應

操作PandasPolars
選取欄位df["col"]df.select("col")
篩選df[df["col"] > 10]df.filter(pl.col("col") > 10)
新增欄位df.assign(x=...)df.with_columns(x=...)
Group bydf.groupby("col").agg(...)df.group_by("col").agg(...)
視窗df.groupby("col").transform(...)df.with_columns(...).over("col")

關鍵語法模式

Pandas 順序(慢):

df.assign(
    col_a=lambda df_: df_.value * 10,
    col_b=lambda df_: df_.value * 100
)

Polars 平行(快):

df.with_columns(
    col_a=pl.col("value") * 10,
    col_b=pl.col("value") * 100,
)

最佳實踐

效能最佳化

  1. 對大型資料集使用延遲評估:

    lf = pl.scan_csv("large.csv")  # 不要使用 read_csv
    result = lf.filter(...).select(...).collect()
    
  2. 在熱路徑中避免使用 Python 函式:

    • 保持在運算式 API 內以獲得平行化
    • 僅在必要時使用 .map_elements()
    • 優先使用 Polars 原生操作
  3. 對極大型資料使用串流:

    lf.collect(engine="streaming")
    
  4. 盡早選取所需的欄位:

    # 好:盡早選取欄位
    lf.select("col1", "col2").filter(...)
    
    # 不好:先在所有欄位上篩選
    lf.filter(...).select("col1", "col2")
    
  5. 使用適當的資料型別:

    • 對低基數字串使用 Categorical
    • 使用適當的整數大小(i32 vs i64)
    • 對時間資料使用日期型別

運算式模式

條件操作:

pl.when(condition).then(value).otherwise(other_value)

跨多欄位的欄位操作:

df.select(pl.col("^.*_value$") * 2)  # 正則表達式模式

空值處理:

pl.col("x").fill_null(0)
pl.col("x").is_null()
pl.col("x").drop_nulls()

biopython

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.

bioservices

Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.

bulk-rnaseq

End-to-end bulk RNA-seq orchestrator — takes raw FASTQ reads through QC and trimming (FastQC, fastp/Trim Galore), alignment and quantification (STAR, Salmon, featureCounts), assembles a gene-level counts matrix, then hands off to differential expression (pydeseq2), pathway/GSEA enrichment (pathway-enrichment), and publication figures (scientific-visualization). Use whenever the user has bulk RNA-seq reads or quant output and wants a complete, reproducible differential-expression workflow — e.g.

cellxgene-census

Query the CZ CELLxGENE Census programmatically for versioned public single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. Use when you need population-scale cell metadata, gene expression slices, Census summary counts, source H5AD URIs/downloads, embeddings, spatial Census data, or reference atlas comparisons across organisms, tissues, diseases, assays, and cell types. For analyzing your own local single-cell data use scanpy, anndata, or scvi-tools.

Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search OpenAlex, PubMed, and Google Scholar for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.

clinical-decision-support

Prepare and validate research-only clinical decision-support evaluation, evidence-profile, cohort, survival, biomarker/model, privacy, and governance artifacts. Use for aggregate or synthetic research documentation and traceability—not patient care or live clinical operation.

clinical-reports

Create safety-bounded draft structures and run local deterministic checks for clinical case, diagnostic, trial, safety, and aggregate research reports. Use only with synthetic, de-identified, or aggregate inputs and verified source-fact manifests; every output requires qualified review.
