parquet4seastar

parquet4sestar is an implementation of the Apache Parquet format for Seastar projects.

The project consists mainly of the parquet4seastar library. See examples/example.cc for a usage example of the basic library functionality, which is writing/reading .parquet files in batches of (definition level, repetition level, value) triplets to/from chosen columns. See src/cql_reader.cc and apps/main.cc for a usage of the record reader functionality (consuming assembled records by providing callbacks for each part of the record).

The apps directory contains a parquet2cql tool which can be used to print .parquet files to CQL. It can be invoked with:

BUILDDIR/apps/parquet2cql/parquet2cql --table TABLENAME --pk ROW_INDEX_COLUMN_NAME --file PARQUET_FILE_PATH

This project is not battle-tested and should not yet be considered stable. The interface of the library is subject to change.

Build instructions

The library follows standard CMake practices.

First, build Seastar. Then, install the dependencies: GZIP, Snappy and Thrift >= 0.11. Then, assuming that Seastar was built in DIR/build/dev, invoke

mkdir build
cd build
cmake \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=DIR/build/dev \
-DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=DIR/cmake ..
make

libparquet4seastar.a, tests and apps will be then be built in build.

The library can then be optionally installed with make install or consumed directly from the build directory. Use of CMake for consuming the library is recommended.

GZIP and Snappy are the only compression libraries used by default. Support for other compression libraries used in Parquet files can be added by merging #2.
