Thread Safety for numpy, pandas for embedded python in UDF

Post by dhaneshp » Wed Jan 06, 2016 5:21 pm

There seems to be thread-safety issues while invoking python within C++ UDF's especially when the python code calls numpy or pandas. It turns out numpy and pandas aren't inherently thread-safe. As a consequence, scalar UDF's invoking the python code fail, and also it appears only one transform UDF call can be made in a session.

Any pointers on how to ensure thread safety while invoking python within C++ UDF? I see a few links like http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/118 ... -C-Part-II

Would this help? Any recommendations on how to get around this problem?

You may want to ask this question in the HP Developer Community, where there’s more of an HP presence.
