Blaze: crunching data in different formats through a single API.

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Blaze gives a pandas/numpy-like API that runs the same expression on CSVs, SQL or NoSQL back ends; Odo moves data between formats (JSON, SQL, CSV, Python structures) and can copy from S3 or SSH; DataShape declares column types so dates and decimals survive conversion. Continuum IO funds core work (a $3 million grant in 2013). Blaze chunks files to compute totals across many CSVs without blowing RAM and can swap to a faster database backend transparently though it is not a universal performance fix.
