polars.DataFrame.hash_rows#

DataFrame.hash_rows( seed: int = 0, seed_1: int | None = None, seed_2: int | None = None, seed_3: int | None = None, ) → Series[source]#

Hash and combine the rows in this DataFrame.

The hash value is of type UInt64.

Parameters:

seed: Random seed parameter. Defaults to 0.
seed_1: Random seed parameter. Defaults to seed if not set.
seed_2: Random seed parameter. Defaults to seed if not set.
seed_3: Random seed parameter. Defaults to seed if not set.

Notes

This implementation of hash_rows() does not guarantee stable results across different Polars versions. Its stability is only guaranteed within a single version.

Examples

>>> df = pl.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "foo": [1, None, 3, 4],
...         "ham": ["a", "b", None, "d"],
...     }
... )
>>> df.hash_rows(seed=42)
