OmniSciΒΆ

This section describes usage related documents for the OmniSciDB-based engine of Modin.

This engine uses analytical database OmniSciDB to obtain high single-node scalability for specific set of dataframe operations. To enable this engine you can set the following environment variable:

export MODIN_STORAGE_FORMAT=omnisci

or use it in your code:

import modin.config as cfg
cfg.StorageFormat.put('omnisci')

Since OmniSci is run through its native engine Modin itself sets MODIN_ENGINE=Native and you might not specify it explicitly.

Note

If you encounter LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options error when using OmniSci, please refer to the respective section in Troubleshooting page to avoid the issue.
