MaxCompute:PyODPS sequence and execution operations

Last Updated:Aug 02, 2025

This topic describes how to perform PyODPS sequence and execution operations.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, complete the following operations:

Procedure

  1. Download the test dataset and import it to MaxCompute.

    1. Download and extract the Iris dataset, and rename iris.data to iris.csv.

    2. Create a table named pyodps_iris and upload the dataset iris.csv to the table. For more information, see Create tables and upload data.

      Sample statement:

      CREATE TABLE if not exists pyodps_iris
      (
      sepallength  DOUBLE comment 'sepal length (cm)',
      sepalwidth   DOUBLE comment 'sepal width (cm)',
      petallength  DOUBLE comment ''petal length (cm)',
      petalwidth   DOUBLE comment 'petal width (cm)',
      name         STRING comment 'type'
      );
  2. Log on to the DataWorks console.In the navigation pane on the left, click Workspaces. Find the target workspace and click Quick Access > DataStudio in the Actions column to go to the DataStudio page.

  3. On the DataStudio page, right-click your workflow and choose Create Node > MaxCompute > PyODPS 2. Enter a name for the node and click Confirm.

  4. On the configuration tab of the PyODPS node, enter the following sample code.

    from odps import DataFrame
    iris = DataFrame(o.get_table('pyodps_iris'))
    
    # Obtain columns.
    print iris.sepallength.head(5)
    
    print iris['sepallength'].head(5)
    
    # View the data type of a column.
    print iris.sepallength.dtype
    
    # Modify the data type of a column.
    iris.sepallength.astype('int')
    
    # Perform calculations.
    print iris.groupby('name').sepallength.max().head(5)
    
    print iris.sepallength.max()
    
    # Rename a column.
    print iris.sepalwidth.rename('speal_width').head(5)
    
    # Perform simple column operations.
    print (iris.sepallength + iris.sepalwidth).rename('sum_sepal').head(5)
  5. Click Run and view the result on the Run Log tab.

    The following result is returned:

  6. Create and run another PyODPS node named PyExecute.

    Use the following sample code:

    from odps import options
    from odps import DataFrame
    
    # View the Logview URL of the runtime instance.
    options.verbose = True
    iris = DataFrame(o.get_table('pyodps_iris'))
    iris[iris.sepallength < 5].exclude('sepallength')[:5].execute()
    
    my_logs = []
    def my_loggers(x):
        my_logs.append(x)
    
    options.verbose_log = my_loggers
    
    iris[iris.sepallength < 5].exclude('sepallength')[:5].execute()
    
    print(my_logs)
    
    # Cache the intermediate Collection result.
    cached = iris[iris.sepalwidth < 3.5].cache()
    print cached.head(3)
    
    # Perform asynchronous and parallel execution.
    from odps.df import Delay
    delay = Delay() # Create a Delay object.
    df = iris[iris.sepalwidth < 5].cache()  # A common dependency exists.
    future1 = df.sepalwidth.sum().execute(delay=delay) # The system immediately returns a future object, but the execution is not started.
    future2 = df.sepalwidth.mean().execute(delay=delay)
    future3 = df.sepalwidth.max().execute(delay=delay)
    
    delay.execute(n_parallel=3)
    
    print future1.result()
    print future2.result()
    print future3.result()

    The following result is returned:
