LOOP_SEATTLE (TsFile format)

Source and Citation

This dataset was converted from external source data into a unified forecasting format and then into TsFile. Licensing and citation requirements follow the original source. We do not claim ownership of the original data. Unless otherwise stated, the data is intended for research use.

Dataset Statistics

Frequency Number of series Median length Observations Dynamic columns Static columns Files
1D 323 365 117,895 1 0 1D/1D.tsfile
1H 323 8,760 2,829,480 1 0 1H/1H_1..1H_3.tsfile (3 shards)
5T 323 105,120 33,953,760 1 0 5T/5T_1..5T_33.tsfile (33 shards)

TsFile Storage Model

  • Each original series (id) is stored as one TsFile device (TAG dimension).
  • Time-varying targets and dynamic covariates are stored as measurements (FIELDs).
  • timestamp is mapped to Time as INT64 milliseconds.
  • Table names: LOOP_SEATTLE_1D, LOOP_SEATTLE_1H, LOOP_SEATTLE_5T.

Column Schema

Column Role TsFile type
Time Time column INT64
id TAG (device dimension) STRING
target FIELD (measurement) FLOAT

Note: 969 original id values contained invalid identifier characters and were normalized to valid device names, for example 0→_0, 1→_1, 2→_2.

Conversion Notes

  • Each original row stores one complete series (id, timestamp[], target and dynamic arrays). The converter flattens these nested rows into a long table before writing TsFile.
  • Numeric types are inferred from the source columns, for example float32 to FLOAT, float64 to DOUBLE, integers to INT64, and bool to BOOLEAN.
  • Time precision: milliseconds (INT64).
  • Large tables may be automatically sharded as <name>_1.tsfile, <name>_2.tsfile, and so on. These shards belong to the same logical table.

Reading Example

from tsfile import TsFileReader

reader = TsFileReader("1D/1D.tsfile")
schemas = reader.get_all_table_schemas()
# Table name: LOOP_SEATTLE_1D; see \"Column Schema\" below.
