parquet-go is a pure-go implementation of reading and writing the parquet format file.
- Support Read/Write Nested/Flat Parquet File
- Simple to use
- High performance
- git.apache.org/thrift.git/lib/go/thrift
- github.com/golang/snappy
Add the parquet-go library to your $GOPATH/src:
go get github.com/xitongsys/parquet-go/...Look at a few examples in example/.
go run example/local_flat.goThere are two types in Parquet: Primitive Type and Logical Type. Logical types are stored as primitive types. The following list is the currently implemented data types:
| Parquet Type | Primitive Type | Go Type |
|---|---|---|
| BOOLEAN | BOOLEAN | bool |
| INT32 | INT32 | int32 |
| INT64 | INT64 | int64 |
| INT96 | INT96 | string |
| FLOAT | FLOAT | float32 |
| DOUBLE | DOUBLE | float64 |
| BYTE_ARRAY | BYTE_ARRAY | string |
| FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY | FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY | string |
| UTF8 | BYTE_ARRAY | string |
| INT_8 | INT32 | int32 |
| INT_16 | INT32 | int32 |
| INT_32 | INT32 | int32 |
| INT_64 | INT64 | int64 |
| UINT_8 | INT32 | uint32 |
| UINT_16 | INT32 | uint32 |
| UINT_32 | INT32 | uint32 |
| UINT_64 | INT64 | uint64 |
| DATE | INT32 | int32 |
| TIME_MILLIS | INT32 | int32 |
| TIME_MICROS | INT64 | int64 |
| TIMESTAMP_MILLIS | INT64 | int64 |
| TIMESTAMP_MICROS | INT64 | int64 |
| INTERVAL | FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY | string |
| DECIMAL | INT32,INT64,FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY,BYTE_ARRAY | int32,int64,string,string |
| LIST | slice | |
| MAP | map |
- Although DECIMAL can be stored as INT32,INT64,FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY,BYTE_ARRAY, Currently I suggest to use FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY.
All types
All types
INT32, INT64, INT_8, INT_16, INT_32, INT_64, UINT_8, UINT_16, UINT_32, UINT_64, TIME_MILLIS, TIME_MICROS, TIMESTAMP_MILLIS, TIMESTAMP_MICROS
BYTE_ARRAY, UTF8
BYTE_ARRAY, UTF8
- Some platforms don't support all kinds of encodings. If you are not sure, just use PLAIN and PLAIN_DICTIONARY.
There are three repetition types in Parquet: REQUIRED, OPTIONAL, REPEATED.
| Repetition Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| REQUIRED | V1 int32 `parquet:"name=v1, type=INT32"` |
No extra description |
| OPTIONAL | V1 *int32 `parquet:"name=v1, type=INT32"` |
Declare as pointer |
| REPEATED | V1 []int32 `parquet:"name=v1, type=INT32, repetitontype=REPEATED"` |
Add 'repetitiontype=REPEATED' in tags |
- The difference between a List and a REPEATED variable is the 'repetitiontype' in tags. Although both of them are stored as slice in go, they are different in parquet. You can find the detail of List in parquet at here. I suggest just use a List.
Bool bool `parquet:"name=bool, type=BOOLEAN"`
Int32 int32 `parquet:"name=int32, type=INT32"`
Int64 int64 `parquet:"name=int64, type=INT64"`
Int96 string `parquet:"name=int96, type=INT96"`
Float float32 `parquet:"name=float, type=FLOAT"`
Double float64 `parquet:"name=double, type=DOUBLE"`
ByteArray string `parquet:"name=bytearray, type=BYTE_ARRAY"`
FixedLenByteArray string `parquet:"name=FixedLenByteArray, type=FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY, length=10"`
Utf8 string `parquet:"name=utf8, type=UTF8, encoding=PLAIN_DICTIONARY"`
Int_8 int32 `parquet:"name=int_8, type=INT_8"`
Int_16 int32 `parquet:"name=int_16, type=INT_16"`
Int_32 int32 `parquet:"name=int_32, type=INT_32"`
Int_64 int64 `parquet:"name=int_64, type=INT_64"`
Uint_8 uint32 `parquet:"name=uint_8, type=UINT_8"`
Uint_16 uint32 `parquet:"name=uint_16, type=UINT_16"`
Uint_32 uint32 `parquet:"name=uint_32, type=UINT_32"`
Uint_64 uint64 `parquet:"name=uint_64, type=UINT_64"`
Date int32 `parquet:"name=date, type=DATE"`
TimeMillis int32 `parquet:"name=timemillis, type=TIME_MILLIS"`
TimeMicros int64 `parquet:"name=timemicros, type=TIME_MICROS"`
TimestampMillis int64 `parquet:"name=timestampmillis, type=TIMESTAMP_MILLIS"`
TimestampMicros int64 `parquet:"name=timestampmicros, type=TIMESTAMP_MICROS"`
Interval string `parquet:"name=interval, type=INTERVAL"`
Decimal1 int32 `parquet:"name=decimal1, type=DECIMAL, scale=2, precision=9, basetype=INT32"`
Decimal2 int64 `parquet:"name=decimal2, type=DECIMAL, scale=2, precision=18, basetype=INT64"`
Decimal3 string `parquet:"name=decimal3, type=DECIMAL, scale=2, precision=10, basetype=FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY, length=12"`
Decimal4 string `parquet:"name=decimal4, type=DECIMAL, scale=2, precision=20, basetype=BYTE_ARRAY"`
Map map[string]int32 `parquet:"name=map, type=MAP, keytype=UTF8, valuetype=INT32"`
List []string `parquet:"name=list, type=LIST, valuetype=UTF8"`
Repeated []int32 `parquet:"name=repeated, type=INT32, repetitiontype=REPEATED"`Read/Write a parquet file need a ParquetFile interface implemented
type ParquetFile interface {
Seek(offset int, pos int) (int64, error)
Read(b []byte) (n int, err error)
Write(b []byte) (n int, err error)
Close()
Open(name string) (ParquetFile, error)
Create(name string) (ParquetFile, error)
}Using this interface, parquet-go can read/write parquet file on different platforms. Currently local and HDFS interfaces are implemented.(It's not possible for S3, because it doesn't support random access.)
Three Writers are supported: ParquetWriter, JSONWriter, CSVWriter.
-
ParquetWriter is used to write predefined Golang structs. Example of ParquetWriter
-
JSONWriter is used to write JSON strings Example of JSONWriter
-
CSVWriter is used to write data format similar with CSV(not nested) Example of CSVWriter
Two Readers are supported: ParquetReader, ColumnReader
-
ParquetReader is used to read predefined Golang structs Example of ParquetReader
-
ColumnReader is used to read some columns. The read function return 3 slices([value], [RepetitionLevel], [DefinitionLevel]) of the records. Example of ColumnReader
There are three methods to define the schema:
type Student struct {
Name string `parquet:"name=name, type=UTF8, encoding=PLAIN_DICTIONARY"`
Age int32 `parquet:"name=age, type=INT32"`
Id int64 `parquet:"name=id, type=INT64"`
Weight float32 `parquet:"name=weight, type=FLOAT"`
Sex bool `parquet:"name=sex, type=BOOLEAN"`
Day int32 `parquet:"name=day, type=DATE"`
}JSON schema can be used to define some complicated schema, which can't be defined by tag.
type Student struct {
Name string
Age int32
Id int64
Weight float32
Sex bool
Classes []string
Scores map[string][]float32
Friends []struct {
Name string
Id int64
}
Teachers []struct {
Name string
Id int64
}
}
var jsonSchema string = `

}Read/Write initial functions have a parallel parameters np which is the number of goroutines in reading/writing.
