coveralls: 
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/builds/31119546/badge)](https://coveralls.io/builds/31119546)

Coverage decreased (-1.4%) to 95.706% when pulling **d647441ac757cad9d409a542e3f8c07bcf5ecce3 on hoesler:distribute-melt** into **29cdae3079fdd8f6dc50ad7eebfbf6e33f0a2b46 on blue-yonder:master**.

nils-braun: @hoesler So first of all thank you very very much for this very good PR!
I just had a very quick over the code, and it looks quite well written. As @MaxBenChrist added himself as a reviewer, I will let him comment first but it already looks quite promising. 

Just to understand: the speed improvement came from the facts that you both do not need to do any pre-processing now and that you do need less memory, or? So the first part will especially be seen in "wide-column" (as you named it) data, but probably less in already melted data - whereas the second part will be seen always, correct?


hoesler: Hi @nils-braun.

Thank you very much. My primary goal was to improve memory consumption. This is archived by directly iterating the input data and skipping costly transformations. I tried to implement this iteration as performant as possible, but did not yet compare it to the speed of the original implementation. Under the new data model, however, it seems that accessing the "wide" dataframe in slices can speed things up, even though I am iterating over the groups multiple times using `itertools.isclice`. I didn't spent time in improving narrow and dict format yet. This still needs to be done.
TKlerx: Nice work @hoesler .
Any comment from @MaxBenChrist ?
I guess the coverage needs to be increased?!
MaxBenChrist: > Nice work @hoesler .

> I guess the coverage needs to be increased?!

sorry, was busy lately. very interesting work @hoesler, will try to understand everything this weekend.

We should aim for high Coverage, yes. but, If we know why the coverage drops and there are good reasons to not test it, then I am also fine with merging prs that reduce coverage.
hoesler: No problem. I am happy to improve coverage, just wanted to wait with the cumbersome work until I get some feedback on the overall design.
nils-braun: Thanks for answering all my questions @hoesler !

See below

5. Any reported errors or traceback
OOM

I was experimenting with tsfresh on the above mentioned dataset using a scikit learn pipeline:
`RelevantFeatureAugmenter(column_id='machine_id', column_sort='index', default_fc_parameters = MinimalFCParameters(), n_jobs=4, chunksize=10)
`
The code was executed from a Jupyter notebook which has 20GB of RAM available. The kernel died from out of memory errors, no matter which parameters I chose for `chunksize` or `n_jobs`. This seemed a bit strange cosidering the medium sized input and the tasks I was imagining tsfresh to do. My first idea was to fit (select features) only on a sample of the train data. This worked well, but the feature extraction during the transform step of the ~70 relevant features was still causing the same problem.
The next idea was scaling out. But before trying to distribute the work using dask, I started to trace at which step the memory starts to inflate and found that it the problem is the [sorting](https://github.com/blue-yonder/tsfresh/blob/a0039838a8264cbe8fb9f512849b778dfc3ccc8c/tsfresh/utilities/dataframe_functions.py#L359) of the [melted](https://github.com/blue-yonder/tsfresh/blob/a0039838a8264cbe8fb9f512849b778dfc3ccc8c/tsfresh/utilities/dataframe_functions.py#L338) dataframe while transforming the data into the normalized format. This doesn't seem too strange if you consider that it is actually sorting 6.024.604 * 75 = 451.845.300 rows.

Because this data transformation is done before sending any data to the distributor, scaling out won't be a solution here.

So I forked tsfresh and started to shift the heavy transformations from the "driver" to the workers and ended with skipping the melt transformation completely. A more straight forward approach was to simply iterate the wide format.

You can find my first draft here:
https://github.com/blue-yonder/tsfresh/compare/v0.16.0...hoesler:distribute-melt?expand=1

Using my modified code, the kernel barely exceeded 8GB during the fit step on the complete train data set. It seemed a bit slower, though I didn't do any benchmarks. But that is totally acceptable for me, especially because this could be easy improved by scaling out.

I would love to finalize that into a pull request, but I'd like to hear your opinion first.

Cheers
Christoph
