Do we need a Digitize function? #1124
Description
Numpy has a digitize function: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.digitize.html It's used to bin values from a column into given bins.
DataFrame has had a version of digitize for a while, but it's not well tested, or used, or optimized with binary search.
It will be removed in its current state.
Please use this issue to let us know whether you need or use something like digitize and how you use it so we can decide together whether DataFrame needs a function like this.
