class ak.contents.ByteMaskedArray(self, mask, content, valid_when, *, parameters=None)#

The ByteMaskedArray implements an ak.types.OptionType with two aligned buffers, a boolean mask and content. At any element i where mask[i] == valid_when, the value can be found at content[i]. If mask[i] != valid_when, the value is missing (None).

This is equivalent to NumPy’s masked arrays if valid_when=False.

There is no Apache Arrow equivalent because Arrow uses bitmaps to mask all node types.

To illustrate how the constructor arguments are interpreted, the following is a simplified implementation of __init__, __len__, and __getitem__:

class ByteMaskedArray(Content):
    def __init__(self, mask, content, valid_when):
        assert isinstance(mask, Index8)
        assert isinstance(content, Content)
        assert isinstance(valid_when, bool)
        assert len(mask) <= len(content)
        self.mask = mask
        self.content = content
        self.valid_when = valid_when

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.mask)

    def __getitem__(self, where):
        if isinstance(where, int):
            if where < 0:
                where += len(self)
            assert 0 <= where < len(self)
            if self.mask[where] == self.valid_when:
                return self.content[where]
            else:
                return None

        elif isinstance(where, slice) and where.step is None:
            return ByteMaskedArray(
                self.mask[where.start : where.stop],
                self.content[where.start : where.stop],
                valid_when=self.valid_when,
            )

        elif isinstance(where, str):
            return ByteMaskedArray(
                self.mask, self.content[where], valid_when=self.valid_when
            )

        else:
            raise AssertionError(where)
