Docker Setup

I have setup the docker container to run the model evaluation.

Initial Query

I have a list of several thousand file paths in /tmp/files. Write a python script that merges these all together and splits the content into 16 files called /tmp/merged_%d for i in 0..15 where each is approximately the same size. To do this, sort files by size (largest first) and add files in order always to the smallest one. "/tmp/files" is a list of file paths, one per line.

# List of file paths
files_list = "/tmp/files"

# Output file prefix
output_prefix = "/tmp/merged_"

# Number of output files
num_output_files = 16

# Initialize list of output files with zero size
output_files = [(0, open(output_prefix % i, 'wb')) for i in range(num_output_files)]

# Read file sizes and paths from the list
with open(files_list, 'r') as f:
    files_to_merge = [(os.path.getsize(line.strip()), line.strip()) for line in f]

# Sort files by size in descending order
files_to_merge.sort(reverse=True)

# Merge files
for file_size, file_path in files_to_merge:
    # Find the output file with the smallest size
    smallest_file = heappop(output_files)

    # Open the input file
    with open(file_path, 'rb') as in_file:
        # Add the contents of the input file to the smallest output file
        shutil.copyfileobj(in_file, smallest_file[1])

    # Update the size of the smallest file and add it back to the heap
    heappush(output_files, (smallest_file[0] + file_size, smallest_file[1]))

# Close all output files
for _ in output_files:
    heappop(output_files)[1].close()
This script first initializes the output files and reads the file sizes and paths from the list. It then sorts the files by size in descending order and starts merging them. For each file, it finds the output file with the smallest size, adds the contents of the input file to it, and updates the size of the output file. Finally, it closes all output files.

Output

To merge and split the files as per your requirement, you can use the following Python script. This script reads the file paths from "/tmp/files", sorts them by size, and then distributes their content to 16 output files with similar sizes.

Sure, here is a Python script that should do what you're asking for. This script reads the file paths from '/tmp/files', sorts them by file size in descending order, and then merges them into 16 files in '/tmp/merged_%d' format, trying to keep the sizes of the output files as balanced as possible.

Please note that this script merges the files in binary mode, so it should work with both text and binary files. Also, it assumes that all the file paths in '/tmp/files' are valid and accessible. You might want to add some error handling code to make it more robust.

Docker Setup

I have setup the docker container to run the model evaluation.

Initial Query

I have a list of several thousand file paths in /tmp/files. Write a python script that merges these all together and splits the content into 16 files called /tmp/merged_%d for i in 0..15 where each is approximately the same size. To do this, sort files by size (largest first) and add files in order always to the smallest one. "/tmp/files" is a list of file paths, one per line.

Output

Sure, here is a Python script that should do what you're asking for. This script reads the file paths from "/tmp/files", sorts them by file size in descending order, and then merges them into 16 files with approximately the same size.

for f in files:
    f.close()
Please note that this script merges the files in binary mode. If your files are text files, you might want to open them in text mode ("r" and "a" instead of "rb" and "ab"). Also, this script doesn't handle errors that might occur when opening or reading files. You might want to add some error handling code to make it more robust.
