Bloom Filter Join Mock in Python

A mock hash join that uses a Bloom filter to pre-filter one table before performing an exact match, reducing the number of comparisons in large dataset joins.

bloom filter join hashing
Python
import hashlib
import random
import string


class BloomFilter:
    def __init__(self, size: int = 200, num_hashes: int = 3):
        self.bits = [False] * size
        self.size = size
        self.num_hashes = num_hashes

    def _hashes(self, item: str):
        result = []

How to Implement row_number Window Function in Python

This code implements a SQL-style ROW_NUMBER() window function in pure Python, partitioning rows by a set of columns and ranking them within each partition by an ordered set of columns.

Python
from collections import defaultdict
import itertools


def row_number(rows, partition_by, order_by):
    partitions = defaultdict(list)
    for index, row in enumerate(rows):
        key = tuple(row[col] for col in partition_by)
        partitions[key].append((index, row))

    result = []
    for key in partitions:
