Limitations

We are working hard to create a unified API from the most popular dataframe libraries. However, all the technologies are in different development stages. Many issues have been flying under the radar, but here, we want to highlight some of the most important ones.

Right now, the main limitations are as follows:

Creating a UDF for string processing in cuDF and Dask-cuDF since they are not supported yet: https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/7301.
cuDF, Dask-cuDF, and Vaex database connections are handled using Dask, which needs to load data as pandas dataframes and then convert them into the appropriate format based on a certain engine.
Regex cuDF support is limited. For example, it still can handle lowercase and uppercase characters at the same time: https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/5217.

Dr. Argenis Leon

Argenis Leon created Optimus, an open-source python library built over PySpark aimed to provide an easy-to-use API to clean, process, and merge data at scale. Since 2012, Argenis has been working on big data-related projects using Postgres, MongoDB, Elasticsearch for social media data collection and analytics. In 2015, he started working on Machine learning projects in Retail, AdTech, and Real Estate in Venezuela and Mexico. In 2019 he created Bumblebee, a low-code open-source web platform to clean and wrangle big data using CPU and GPUs using NVIDIA RAPIDS. Nowadays Argenis is Co-founder and CTO of boitas (backed by YCombinator) a wholesale marketplace for SMB in Latin America.
