pd.DataFrame supported APIs

The following table lists both implemented and not implemented methods. If you have need of an operation that is listed as not implemented, feel free to open an issue on the GitHub repository, or give a thumbs up to already created issues. Contributions are also welcome!

The following table is structured as follows: The first column contains the method name. The second column contains link to a description of corresponding pandas method. The third column is a flag for whether or not there is an implementation in Modin for the method in the left column. Y stands for yes, N stands for no, P stands for partial (meaning some parameters may not be supported yet), and D stands for default to pandas.

Note

Currently third column reflects implementation status for Ray and Dask engines. By default, support for a method in the HDK engine could be treated as D unless Notes column contains additional information. Similarly, by default Notes contains information about Ray and Dask engines unless Hdk is explicitly mentioned.
