ServiceX front end package 2.1b1 release
Support multiple types of ServiceX backends implicitly
- The two types,
xAOD
anduproot
are both supported in the sense they can return different types of data (root or parquet files) - As long as you tell
servicex
what sort of file to expect, it can render the data intoawkward
arrays orpandas.DataFrame
's. - The interface and
.servicex
file have been update to support this, and also behave sensibly if the user doesn't specify anything.
Compatibility with ServiceX:
- Authentication framework will work only up to RC2
- Job submission, etc., should work accross most (all?) versions of ServiceX
