Create a new EdgeFrame in the server.

An EdgeFrame represents a collection of edges held on the xGT server that share the same property names and types. The source vertex of each edge in an EdgeFrame must belong to the same VertexFrame. This source VertexFrame is identified by the source parameter of this function. The target vertex of each edge in an EdgeFrame must belong to the same VertexFrame. This target VertexFrame is identified by the target parameter.

For each edge in the EdgeFrame, its source vertex is identified by the edge property name given in the parameter source_key, which must be one of the properties listed in the schema. The edge target vertex is identified by the property name given in the parameter target_key, which must be one of the properties listed in the schema.

Parameters:

name (str) – Must be a valid frame name. The namespace is optional, and if not given it will use the default namespace.
schema (list of lists) – List of lists associating property names with xGT data types. Each edge in the EdgeFrame will have these properties.

target (str or VertexFrame) – The name of a VertexFrame or a VertexFrame object. The target vertex of each edge in this EdgeFrame will belong to this VertexFrame.
source_key (str) – The edge property name that identifies the source vertex of an edge. This is one of the properties from the schema.
target_key (str) – The edge property name that identifies the target vertex of an edge. This is one of the properties from the schema.
frame_labels (dictionary) – A dictionary mapping a string to a list of strings. The key represents the permission type. The value represents the labels required for this permission. Permission types are create, read, update, and delete. By default, no labels are required.

Parameters:

data_source (str, list of str, pyarrow Table, pandas DataFrame) – The data source from which to create a frame. If a string or list of strings, each entry must be a file path possibly with wildcards. For the file path, the same protocols are supported as load(). Refer to load().
header_mode (str) –
Indicates how the file header should be processed:
- HeaderMode.NONE: No header exists.
- HeaderMode.IGNORE: Ignore the first line containing the header.
- HeaderMode.NORMAL: Process the header in non-strict mode. If a schema column is missing, a null value is ingested for that schema column. Any file column whose name does not correspond to a schema column or a security label column is ignored.
- HeaderMode.STRICT: Process the header in strict mode. The name of each header column should correspond to a schema column, a security label column, or be named IGNORE. Each schema column must appear in the file.
Optional. Default=HeaderMode.NONE. Only applies to CSV files.
delimiter (str) – Delimiter for CSV data. Only applies to CSV files.
column_mapping (dictionary) –
Maps the frame column names to input columns for the ingest. The key of each element is frame’s column name. The value is either the name of the input column (from the file header, pandas, or arrow table names) or the file column index. If file column names are used, the header_mode must be NORMAL. If only file column indices are used, the header_mode can be NORMAL, NONE, or IGNORE.

Optional. Default is None.

New in version 1.15.0.
frame_to_input_column_mapping (dictionary) –
Same as column_mapping.

Deprecated since version 1.15.0: Use column_mapping instead.

Raises:

XgtIOError – If there are errors in reading the data.
