[FEATURE] single-CSV auto ingestion
🚨🚨 Feature Request
Related to #1156 (this issue is a building block to it)
Description
build the implementation of the API:
ds = ... # create dataset
"""
columns/structure of the file found at: "path/to/file.csv"
--------------------
col1, col2, col3
"text", 1, 5
"another_text", 1, 5.5
"""
ds.ingest("path/to/file.csv")
assert ds.col1.data() == ["text", "another_text"]
assert ds.col2.numpy(as_list=True) == [1, 1]
assert ds.col3.numpy(as_list=True) == [1, 5.5]
assert len(ds) == 2 # num rows
#1156 is the feature to support a directory of CSV files, but a single CSV file is sufficient for now.
Solution
you can probably use pandas to read the CSV file and then create one tensor per column. set the dtype for each column as the dtype found in pandas for that column. the htype can only be determined for text for now. in the future, we would want to infer htypes but now it isn't required.
i would create a new subdirectory + file under here called "structured/csv.py" and implement your code there, and following the same code structure as the unstructured classes found here.
