SystemDSContext¶
All operations using SystemDS need a java instance running.
The connection is ensured by an SystemDSContext object.
An SystemDSContext object can be created using
from systemds.context import SystemDSContext
sds = SystemDSContext()
When the calculations are finished the context has to be closed again
sds.close()
Since it is annoying that it is always necessary to close the context, SystemDSContext
implements the python context management protocol, which supports the following syntax
with SystemDSContext() as sds:
  # do something with sds which is an SystemDSContext
  pass
This will automatically close the SystemDSContext once the with-block is left.
Note
Creating a context is an expensive procedure, because a sub-process starting a JVM might have to start, therefore try to do this only once for your program, or always leave at least one context open.
- 
class systemds.context.SystemDSContext(port: int = - 1)¶
- A context with a connection to a java instance with which SystemDS operations are executed. The java process is started and is running using a random tcp port for instruction parsing. - This class is used as the starting point for all SystemDS execution. It gives the ability to create all the different objects and adding them to the exectution. - 
__init__(port: int = - 1)¶
- Starts a new instance of SystemDSContext, in which the connection to a JVM systemds instance is handled Any new instance of this SystemDS Context, would start a separate new JVM. - Standard out and standard error form the JVM is also handled in this class, filling up Queues, that can be read from to get the printed statements from the JVM.

close()¶
- Close the connection to the java process and do necessary cleanup.

read(path: os.PathLike, **kwargs: Dict[str, Union[DAGNode, str, int, float, bool]]) → systemds.operator.operation_node.OperationNode¶

 - 
source(path: str, name: str, print_imported_methods: bool = False) → systemds.operator.nodes.source.Source¶
- Import methods from a given dml file. - The importing is done thorugh the DML command source, and adds all defined methods from the script to the Source object returned in python. This gives the flexibility to call the methods directly on the object returned. - In systemds a method called func_01 can then be imported using - `python res = self.sds.source("PATH_TO_FILE", "UNIQUE_NAME").func_01().compute(verbose = True) `- Parameters
- path – The absolute or relative path to the file to import 
- name – The name to give the imported file in the script, this name must be unique
