This improves the efficiency and usability of the
__dataframe__protocol in a few ways:__dataframe__()output (anIbisDataFrameinstance), the wrapped query will execute at most once for all methods called. Once executed, the resultingpyarrow.Tableis stored on theIbisDataFrameinstance to be reused by subsequent access.IbisDataFrame, no computation results.Given these improvements, an
ibis.Tablepassed toaltair(dev) now results in only one execution, rather than potentially several executions.
