Bodo Error Messages

This section lists some of the compilation error messages you may encounter with your jitted functions, reasons for them and suggestions on how to proceed with resolving them.

Unsupported Bodo Functionality

  • BodoError: <functionality> not supported yet

    As the error states, this message is encountered when you are attempting to call an as yet unsupported API within a jit function. For example :

    @bodo.jit
def unsupported_func(pd_str_series):
    return pd_str_series.str.casefold()

    would result in an unsupported BodoError as follows:

    BodoError: Series.str.casefold not supported yet

    Please submit a request for us to support your required functionality here. Also consider joining our community slack, where you can interact directly with fellow Bodo users to find a workaround for your requirements. For longer and more detailed discussions, please join our discourse.

    Object Mode can be used to switch to Python interpreted context to be able to run your workload, but we strongly recommend trying to find a Bodo-native workaround.

  • BodoError: <operation> : <parameter_name> parameter only supports default value

    Certain methods only support default parameter values for some of their parameters. Please see supported Pandas API for a list of supported pandas functionality and their respective parameters. We also have a list of supported Numpy , as well as ML operations.

Typing Errors

  • BodoError: <operation>: <operand> must be a compile time constant

    Bodo needs certain arguments to be known at compile time to produce an optimized binary. Please see the section on compile time constants for more details.

  • BodoError: dtype <DataType> cannot be stored in arrays

    This error message is encountered when Bodo is unable to assign a supported type to elements of an array.

    Example:

    @bodo.jit
def obj_in_array():
    df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': ["1", "2"], 'col2': [3, 4]})
    return df.select_dtypes(include='object')

a = obj_in_array()
print(a)

    Error: 

    BodoError: dtype pyobject cannot be stored in arrays

    In this example, we get this error because we attempted to get Bodo to recognize col1 as a column with the datatype object, and the object type is too generic for Bodo. A workaround for this specific example would be to return df.select_dtypes(exclude='int').

  • Invalid Series.dt/Series.cat/Series.str, cannot handle conditional yet

    This error is encountered when there are conditional assignments of series functions Series.dt, Series.cat or Series.str, which Bodo cannot handle yet.

    Example:

    @bodo.jit
def conditional_series_str(flag):
    s = pd.Series(["Str_Series"])
    s1 = pd.Series(["Str_Series_1"]).str
    if flag:
        s1 = s.str
    else:
        s1 = s1
    return s1.split("_")

    Error:

    BodoError: ...
          Invalid Series.str, cannot handle conditional yet

    When using these operations, you need to include the function and accessor together inside the control flow if it is absolutely necessary. For this specific case, we simply compute the str.split within the conditional:

    @bodo.jit
def test_category(flag):
    s = pd.Series(["A_Str_Series"])
    s1 = pd.Series(["test_series"]).str
    s2 = None
    if flag:
        s2 = s.str.split("_")
    else:
        s2 = s1.split("_")
    return s2

Unsupported Numba Errors

  • numba.core.errors.TypingError: Compilation error

    This is likely due to unsupported functionality. If you encounter this error, please provide us a minimum reproducer for this error here.

  • numba.core.errors.TypingError: Unknown attribute <attribute> of type

    This is an uncaught error due to unsupported functionality. If you encounter this error, please provide us a minimum reproducer for this error here.
