19//! This crate contains the official Native Rust implementation of
20//! [Apache Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/), part of
21//! the [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) project.
22//! The crate provides a number of APIs to read and write Parquet files,
23//! covering a range of use cases.
24//!
25//! Please see the [parquet crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/parquet)
26//! page for feature flags and tips to improve performance.
27//!
28//! # Format Overview
29//!
30//! Parquet is a columnar format, which means that unlike row formats like [CSV], values are
31//! iterated along columns instead of rows. Parquet is similar in spirit to [Arrow], but
32//! focuses on storage efficiency whereas Arrow prioritizes compute efficiency.
33//!
34//! Parquet files are partitioned for scalability. Each file contains metadata,
35//! along with zero or more "row groups", each row group containing one or
36//! more columns. The APIs in this crate reflect this structure.
37//!
38//! Data in Parquet files is strongly typed and differentiates between logical
39//! and physical types (see [`schema`]). In addition, Parquet files may contain
40//! other metadata, such as statistics, which can be used to optimize reading
41//! (see [`file::metadata`]).
42//! For more details about the Parquet format itself, see the [Parquet spec]
43//!
44//! [Parquet spec]: https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/README.md#file-format
45//!
46//! # APIs
47//!
48//! This crate exposes a number of APIs for different use-cases.
49//!
50//! ## Metadata and Schema
51//!
52//! The [`schema`] module provides APIs to work with Parquet schemas. The
53//! [`file::metadata`] module provides APIs to work with Parquet metadata.
54//!
55//! ## Reading and Writing Arrow (`arrow` feature)
56//!
57//! The [`arrow`] module supports reading and writing Parquet data to/from
58//! Arrow [`RecordBatch`]es. Using Arrow is simple and performant, and allows workloads
59//! to leverage the wide range of data transforms provided by the [arrow] crate, and by the
60//! ecosystem of [Arrow] compatible systems.
61//!
62//! Most users will use [`ArrowWriter`] for writing and [`ParquetRecordBatchReaderBuilder`] for
63//! reading from synchronous IO sources such as files or in-memory buffers.
64//!
65//! Lower level APIs include
66//! * [`ParquetPushDecoder`] for file grained control over interleaving of IO and CPU.
67//! * [`ArrowColumnWriter`] for writing using multiple threads,
68//! * [`RowFilter`] to apply filters during decode
69//!
70//! ### EXPERIMENTAL: Content-Defined Chunking
71//!
72//! [`ArrowWriter`] supports content-defined chunking (CDC), which creates data page
73//! boundaries based on content rather than fixed sizes. CDC enables efficient
74//! deduplication in content-addressable storage (CAS) systems: when the same data
75//! appears in successive file versions, it will produce identical byte sequences that
76//! CAS backends can deduplicate.
77//!
78//! Enable CDC via [`WriterProperties`]:
79//!
80//! ```rust
81//! # use parquet::file::properties::{WriterProperties, CdcOptions};
82//! let props = WriterProperties::builder()
83//!     .set_content_defined_chunking(Some(CdcOptions::default()))
84//!     .build();
85//! ```
86//!
87//! See [`CdcOptions`] for chunk size and normalization parameters.
88//!
89//! [`WriterProperties`]: file::properties::WriterProperties
90//! [`CdcOptions`]: file::properties::CdcOptions
91//!
92//! [`ArrowWriter`]: arrow::arrow_writer::ArrowWriter
93//! [`ParquetRecordBatchReaderBuilder`]: arrow::arrow_reader::ParquetRecordBatchReaderBuilder
94//! [`ParquetPushDecoder`]: arrow::push_decoder::ParquetPushDecoder
95//! [`ArrowColumnWriter`]: arrow::arrow_writer::ArrowColumnWriter
96//! [`RowFilter`]: arrow::arrow_reader::RowFilter
97//!
98//! ## `async` Reading and Writing Arrow (`arrow` feature + `async` feature)
99//!
100//! The [`async_reader`] and [`async_writer`] modules provide async APIs to
101//! read and write [`RecordBatch`]es  asynchronously.
102//!
103//! Most users will use [`AsyncArrowWriter`] for writing and [`ParquetRecordBatchStreamBuilder`]
104//! for reading, automatically optimizing IO based on any predicates or projections provided.
105//! Object storage services such as S3 can be integrated by implementing
106//! [`AsyncFileReader`] on top of a client such as the [object_store] crate,
107//! or by passing a writer implementing [`AsyncWrite`] (such as
108//! `object_store::buffered::BufWriter`) to [`AsyncArrowWriter`].
109//!
110//! [`async_reader`]: arrow::async_reader
111//! [`async_writer`]: arrow::async_writer
112//! [`AsyncArrowWriter`]: arrow::async_writer::AsyncArrowWriter
113//! [`AsyncFileReader`]: arrow::async_reader::AsyncFileReader
114//! [`AsyncWrite`]: https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/trait.AsyncWrite.html
115//! [`ParquetRecordBatchStreamBuilder`]: arrow::async_reader::ParquetRecordBatchStreamBuilder
116//!
117//! ## Variant Logical Type (`variant_experimental` feature)
118//!
119//! The [`variant`] module supports reading and writing Parquet files
120//! with the [Variant Binary Encoding] logical type, which can represent
121//! semi-structured data such as JSON efficiently.
122//!
123//! [Variant Binary Encoding]: https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/VariantEncoding.md
124//!
125//! ## Read/Write Parquet Directly
126//!
127//! Workloads needing finer-grained control, or to avoid a dependence on arrow,
128//! can use the APIs in [`mod@file`] directly. These APIs  are harder to use
129//! as they directly use the underlying Parquet data model, and require knowledge
130//! of the Parquet format, including the details of [Dremel] record shredding
131//! and [Logical Types].
