Parquet

Load a parquet file. Only metadata is read initially, data is loaded in chunks on demand. (Note: ParquetFiles.jl also provides load support for Parquet files under the FileIO.jl package.)

julia> using Parquet

julia> parfile = "customer.impala.parquet"

julia> p = ParFile(parfile)
Parquet file: /home/tan/Work/julia/packages/Parquet/test/parquet-compatibility/parquet-testdata/impala/1.1.1-SNAPPY/customer.impala.parquet
    version: 1
    nrows: 150000
    created by: impala version 1.2-INTERNAL (build a462ec42e550c75fccbff98c720f37f3ee9d55a3)
    cached: 0 column chunks

Examine the schema.

julia> nrows(p)
150000

julia> ncols(p)
8

julia> colnames(p)
8-element Array{AbstractString,1}:
 "c_acctbal"   
 "c_mktsegment"
 "c_nationkey" 
 "c_name"      
 "c_address"   
 "c_custkey"   
 "c_phone"     
 "c_comment"   

julia> schema(p)
Schema:
    schema {
      optional INT64 c_custkey
      optional BYTE_ARRAY c_name
      optional BYTE_ARRAY c_address
      optional INT32 c_nationkey
      optional BYTE_ARRAY c_phone
      optional DOUBLE c_acctbal
      optional BYTE_ARRAY c_mktsegment
      optional BYTE_ARRAY c_comment
    }

Can convert the parquet schema to different forms:

julia> schema(JuliaConverter(STDOUT), p, :Customer)
type Customer
    Customer() = new()
    c_custkey::Int64
    c_name::Vector{UInt8}
    c_address::Vector{UInt8}
    c_nationkey::Int32
    c_phone::Vector{UInt8}
    c_acctbal::Float64
    c_mktsegment::Vector{UInt8}
    c_comment::Vector{UInt8}
end

julia> schema(ThriftConverter(STDOUT), p, :Customer)
struct Customer {
     optional i64 c_custkey
     optional binary c_name
     optional binary c_address
     optional i32 c_nationkey
     optional binary c_phone
     optional double c_acctbal
     optional binary c_mktsegment
     optional binary c_comment
}

julia> schema(ProtoConverter(STDOUT), p, :Customer)
message Customer {
    optional sint64 c_custkey;
    optional bytes c_name;
    optional bytes c_address;
    optional sint32 c_nationkey;
    optional bytes c_phone;
    optional double c_acctbal;
    optional bytes c_mktsegment;
    optional bytes c_comment;
}

Can inject the type dynamically to a module to have further methods working directly on the Julia type.

julia> schema(JuliaConverter(Main), p, :Customer)

julia> Base.show(io::IO, cust::Customer) = println(io, String(copy(cust.c_name)), " Phone#:", String(copy(cust.c_phone)))

Create cursor to iterate over records. In parallel mode, multiple remote cursors can be created and iterated on in parallel.

julia> rc = RecCursor(p, 1:5, colnames(p), JuliaBuilder(p, Customer))
Record Cursor on /home/tan/Work/julia/packages/Parquet/test/parquet-compatibility/parquet-testdata/impala/1.1.1-SNAPPY/customer.impala.parquet
    rows: 1:5
    cols: c_acctbal.c_mktsegment.c_nationkey.c_name.c_address.c_custkey.c_phone.c_comment


julia> i = start(rc);

julia> while !done(rc, i)
        v,i = next(rc, i)
        show(v)
       end
