# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล

Distributed data processing library for ML and AI workloads.

## When to use Ray Data

**Use Ray Data when:**
- Processing large datasets (>100GB) for ML training
- Need distributed data preprocessing across cluster
- Building batch inference pipelines
- Loading multi-modal data (images, audio, video)
- Scaling data processing from laptop to cluster

**Key features**:
- **Streaming execution**: Process data larger than memory
- **GPU support**: Accelerate transforms with GPUs
- **Framework integration**: PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace
- **Multi-modal**: Images, Parquet, CSV, JSON, audio, video

**Use alternatives instead**:
- **Pandas**: Small data (<1GB) on single machine
- **Dask**: Tabular data, SQL-like operations
- **Spark**: Enterprise ETL, SQL queries

## Quick start

### Installation

```bash
pip install -U 'ray[data]'
```

### Load and transform data

```python
import ray

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_parquet("s3://bucket/data/*.parquet")

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ds.map_batches(lambda batch: {"processed": batch["text"].str.lower()})

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
for batch in ds.iter_batches(batch_size=100):
    print(batch)
```

### Integration with Ray Train

```python
import ray
from ray.train import ScalingConfig
from ray.train.torch import TorchTrainer

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
train_ds = ray.data.read_parquet("s3://bucket/train/*.parquet")

def train_func(config):
    # Access dataset in training
    train_ds = ray.train.get_dataset_shard("train")

    for epoch in range(10):
        for batch in train_ds.iter_batches(batch_size=32):
            # Train on batch
            pass

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
trainer = TorchTrainer(
    train_func,
    datasets={"train": train_ds},
    scaling_config=ScalingConfig(num_workers=4, use_gpu=True)
)
trainer.fit()
```

## Reading data

### From cloud storage

```python
import ray

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_parquet("s3://bucket/data/*.parquet")

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_CSV("s3://bucket/data/*.CSV")

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_JSON("gs://bucket/data/*.JSON")

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_images("s3://bucket/images/")
```

### From Python objects

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.from_items([{"id": i, "value": i * 2} for i in range(1000)])

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.range(1000000)  # Synthetic data

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"col1": [1, 2, 3], "col2": [4, 5, 6]})
ds = ray.data.from_pandas(df)
```

## Transformations

### Map batches (vectorized)

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
def process_batch(batch):
    batch["doubled"] = batch["value"] * 2
    return batch

ds = ds.map_batches(process_batch, batch_size=1000)
```

### Row transformations

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
def process_row(row):
    row["squared"] = row["value"] ** 2
    return row

ds = ds.map(process_row)
```

### Filter

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ds.filter(lambda row: row["value"] > 100)
```

### Group by and aggregate

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ds.groupby("category").count()

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ds.groupby("category").map_groups(lambda group: {"sum": group["value"].sum()})
```

## GPU-accelerated transforms

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
def preprocess_images_gpu(batch):
    import torch
    images = torch.tensor(batch["image"]).cuda()
    # GPU preprocessing
    processed = images * 255
    return {"processed": processed.cpu().numpy()}

ds = ds.map_batches(
    preprocess_images_gpu,
    batch_size=64,
    num_gpus=1  # Request GPU
)
```

## Writing data

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds.write_parquet("s3://bucket/output/")

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds.write_CSV("output/")

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds.write_JSON("output/")
```

## Performance optimization

### Repartition

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ds.repartition(100)  # 100 blocks for 100-core cluster
```

### Batch size tuning

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds.map_batches(process_fn, batch_size=10000)  # vs batch_size=100
```

### Streaming execution

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_parquet("s3://huge-dataset/")
for batch in ds.iter_batches(batch_size=1000):
    process(batch)  # Streamed, not loaded to memory
```

## Common patterns

### Batch inference

```python
import ray

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
def load_model():
    # Load once per worker
    return MyModel()

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
class BatchInference:
    def __init__(self):
        self.model = load_model()

    def __call__(self, batch):
        predictions = self.model(batch["input"])
        return {"prediction": predictions}

# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = ray.data.read_parquet("s3://data/")
predictions = ds.map_batches(BatchInference, batch_size=32, num_gpus=1)
predictions.write_parquet("s3://output/")
```

### Data preprocessing pipeline

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
ds = (
    ray.data.read_parquet("s3://raw/")
    .map_batches(clean_data)
    .map_batches(tokenize)
    .map_batches(augment)
    .write_parquet("s3://processed/")
)
```

## Integration with ML frameworks

### PyTorch

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
torch_ds = ds.to_torch(label_column="label", batch_size=32)

for batch in torch_ds:
    # batch is dict with tensors
    inputs, labels = batch["features"], batch["label"]
```

### TensorFlow

```python
# ข้อมูล Processing RAY ข้อมูล
tf_ds = ds.to_tf(feature_columns=["image"], label_column="label", batch_size=32)

for features, labels in tf_ds:
    # Train model
    pass
```
