read_parquet: Read a Parquet file

In arrow: Integration to 'Apache' 'Arrow'

Read a Parquet file

Description

'Parquet' is a columnar storage file format. This function enables you to read Parquet files into R.

Usage

read_parquet(
  file,
  col_select = NULL,
  as_data_frame = TRUE,
  props = ParquetArrowReaderProperties$create(),
  mmap = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

file	A character file name or URI, raw vector, an Arrow input stream, or a FileSystem with path (SubTreeFileSystem). If a file name or URI, an Arrow InputStream will be opened and closed when finished. If an input stream is provided, it will be left open.
col_select	A character vector of column names to keep, as in the "select" argument to data.table::fread(), or a tidy selection specification of columns, as used in dplyr::select().
as_data_frame	Should the function return a tibble (default) or an Arrow Table?
props	ParquetArrowReaderProperties
mmap	Use TRUE to use memory mapping where possible
...	Additional arguments passed to ParquetFileReader$create()

Value

A tibble if as_data_frame is TRUE (the default), or an Arrow Table otherwise.

Examples

tf <- tempfile()
on.exit(unlink(tf))
write_parquet(mtcars, tf)
df <- read_parquet(tf, col_select = starts_with("d"))
head(df)
