Description
The core Buffer class represents a block of memory in either CPU or GPU memory.
There's no current method on Buffer
to expose the memory via the buffer protocol without always forcing a copy. The closest thing is the as_array_like
method, which returns an ArrayLike
, but there's no way to get a BytesLike
from it.
So what I want is
@abstractmethod
def as_bytes_like(self) -> collections.abc.Buffer:
(#2814 tracks the unification of BytesLike
and collections.abc.Buffer
types)
In practice, this means that the obstore integration (#1661) won't need to force a memory copy when uploading data.
