I have encountered an issue with restarting the analysis from a snapshot of the dataframe.
The dataframe snapshot was taken with a selected column list, such as
df.Snapshot(myTree, myRootFile, ["ecal", "Cer14_5"]) ,
with “ecal” and “Cer14_5” two different data structures.
The root file of this snapshot looks fine in TTree. However, when I read it back with dataframe, it gives a flattened column list that prevents me from accessing the data structure’s components.
df = ROOT.RDataFrame(myTree, myRootFile)
print(rdf.GetColumnNames()) gives:
{ "ecal.height", "ecal.integral", "ecal.time", "ecal.pos", "ecal.left", "ecal.right", "ecal.overflow", "ecal", "Cer14_5.ped.ped.mean", "Cer14_5.ped.ped.err", "Cer14_5.ped", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.height", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.integral", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.time", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.pos", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.left", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.right", "Cer14_5.peaks.peaks.overflow", "Cer14_5.peaks", "Cer14_5.raw", "Cer14_5"}
So when I use ecal.time (ecal is a fdec::Peak while its component time is a double) in the code, its type (double) was mistakenly determined as fdec::Peak, and it gives an error as:
candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'fdec::Peak' to 'double' for 2nd argument
