pyarrow.flight.FlightClient

class pyarrow.flight.FlightClient(location, tls_root_certs=None, *, cert_chain=None, private_key=None, override_hostname=None, middleware=None, write_size_limit_bytes=None, disable_server_verification=None, generic_options=None)

Bases: _Weakrefable

A client to a Flight service.

Connect to a Flight service on the given host and port.

Parameters:

locationstr, tuple or Location

Location to connect to. Either a gRPC URI like grpc://localhost:port, a tuple of (host, port) pair, or a Location instance.

tls_root_certsbytes or None

PEM-encoded

cert_chain: bytes or None

Client certificate if using mutual TLS

private_key: bytes or None

Client private key for cert_chain is using mutual TLS

override_hostnamestr or None

Override the hostname checked by TLS. Insecure, use with caution.

middlewarelist optional, default None

A list of ClientMiddlewareFactory instances.

write_size_limit_bytesint optional, default None

A soft limit on the size of a data payload sent to the server. Enabled if positive. If enabled, writing a record batch that (when serialized) exceeds this limit will raise an exception; the client can retry the write with a smaller batch.

disable_server_verificationbool optional, default False

A flag that indicates that, if the client is connecting with TLS, that it skips server verification. If this is enabled, all other TLS settings are overridden.

generic_optionslist optional, default None

A list of generic (string, int or string) option tuples passed to the underlying transport. Effect is implementation dependent.
