Slice columns¶
H2O-3 lazily slices out columns of data and will only materialize a shared copy upon some type of triggering IO. This example shows how to slice columns from a frame of data.
import h2o
h2o.init()
# Import the iris with headers dataset
path = "http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv"
df = h2o.import_file(path=path)
# Slice a column by index. The resulting dataset will include the first (left-most)
# colum of the original dataset.
c1 = df[:,0]
