How should I get the shape of a dask dataframe?
Performing .shape is giving me the following error.
AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'shape'
How should I get the shape instead?
Answer
You can get the number of columns directly
len(df.columns) # this is fast
You can also call len on the dataframe itself, though beware that this will trigger a computation.
len(df) # this requires a full scan of the data
Dask.dataframe doesn't know how many records are in your data without first reading through all of it.
