Python: get all node descendants in a tree
$begingroup$
I have a CSV holding a "flat" table of a tree's edges (NOT binary, but a node cannot have two parents), ~1M edges:
node_id parent_id
1 0
2 1
3 1
4 2
...
The nodes are sorted in a way that a parent_id
must always come before any of its children, so a parent_id
will always be lower than node_id
.
I wish, for each node_id, to get the set of all ancestor nodes (including itself, propagated until root which is node 0 here), and a set of all descendant nodes (including itself, propagated until leaves), and speed is crucial.
Currently what I do at high level:
- Read the CSV in pandas, call it
nodes_df
- Iterate once through
nodes_df
to getnode_ancestors
, a{node_id: set(ancestors)}
dict adding for each node's ancestors itself and its parent's ancestors (which I know I have seen all by then) - Iterate through
nodes_df
again in reverse order to getnode_descendants
, a{node_id: set(ancestors)}
dict adding for each node's descendants itself and its child's descendants (which I know I have seen all by then)
Code:
import pandas as pd
from collections import defaultdict
# phase 1
nodes_df = pd.read_csv('input.csv')
# phase 2
node_ancestors = defaultdict(set)
node_ancestors[0] = set([0])
for id, ndata in nodes_df1.iterrows():
node_ancestors[ndata['node_id']].add(ndata['node_id'])
node_ancestors[ndata['node_id']].update(node_ancestors[ndata['parent_id']])
# phase 3
node_descendants = defaultdict(set)
node_descendants[0] = set([0])
for id, ndata in nodes_df1[::-1].iterrows():
node_descendants[ndata['node_id']].add(ndata['node_id'])
node_descendants[ndata['parent_id']].
update(node_descendants[ndata['node_id']])
So, this takes minutes on my laptop, which is ages for my application. How do I improve?
Plausible directions:
- Can I use pandas better? Can I get
node_ancestors
and/ornode_descendants
by some clever join which is out of my league? - Can I use a python graph library like
Networkx
origraph
(which in my experience is faster on large graphs)? E.g. in both libraries I have aget_all_shortest_paths
methods, which returns something like a{node_id: dist}
dictionary, from which I could select the keys, but... I need this for every node, so again a long long loop - Parallelizing - no idea how to do this
