@SidneyLann that’s likely due to it just returning the result as is. It’s already a vector. Nothing is really executed unless there’s a row to actually get. Feel free to file an issue and we can do a proper reshape call there. ---

The rank in the second line should be 1 but not 2, right? In my app, indArray.getRow(0); return the whole INDArray when the first shape is 1, and return correct Row when the first shape is bigger then 1. That means I can get the first row when an INDArray has multiple rows, but can’t get the first row when an INDArray has ONLY 1 row. ---

@SidneyLann why would you need to do that though? A 1 x 8 is already a row vector and by definition the result. We generally treat 1 x 8 and 8 as the same. If you want just reshape it for now. I already mentioned you could file an issue if you see it as a bug and I ccan take a look. ---

for (int j = 0; j \< crawlIdsSize; j++) { tmp = outArray.getRow(j); … The behavior must be the same, must always get [8] but not [1,8] when crawlIdsSize is 1. ---

@SidneyLann just detect when it’s length 1 for now and file an issue then. I’m not going to fix this on the spot from a forum post. I’ll do it with a quick reproducer and a corresponding issue I can reference on the tracker. I already mentioned the likely issue and a workaround a few times now. I’m not going to do much more here. ---

Ok, will fire an issue. ---

@SidneyLann c vs f shouldn’t affect you here either. I would consider any of that as a distraction. As long as the results are correct it doesn’t matter. C vs f mainly affects matrix multiplies and a few other specific ops. C is the default ordering though. Why it returns certain orders I’d have to take a closer look at the indexing implementation again. ---

Ok. call tmp.setOrder(‘c’) if necessary.
