The entropy function in the hana_ml.algorithms.pal.stats module calculates the information entropy of attributes in a DataFrame, with options to specify the data column to be processed, whether to output the details of distinct value counts, and the ratio of total number of threads that can be used by this function.
------
Here is the executable code template based on the provided help doc:

```python
from hana_ml.algorithms.pal.stats import entropy
from hana_ml import DataFrame

# Assuming that a connection context `cc` to a HANA database is available

# Create DataFrame from the existing HANA table
df = DataFrame(cc, 'TABLE_NAME')  # replace 'TABLE_NAME' with your actual table name

# Specify the columns to be processed
col = ['COLUMN_NAME1', 'COLUMN_NAME2']  # replace with your actual column names

# Set the distinct_value_count_detail parameter
distinct_value_count_detail = True

# Set the thread_ratio parameter
thread_ratio = 0.5

# Calculate the entropy
res1, res2 = entropy(data=df, col=col, distinct_value_count_detail=distinct_value_count_detail, thread_ratio=thread_ratio)

# Print the results
print("Entropy results:")
print(res1.collect())
print("\nDistinct values results:")
print(res2.collect())
```

Please replace `'TABLE_NAME'`, `'COLUMN_NAME1'`, and `'COLUMN_NAME2'` with your actual table and column names. Also, adjust the `distinct_value_count_detail` and `thread_ratio` parameters as per your requirements.
