ParquetSharp.DataFrame is a .NET library for reading and writing Apache Parquet files into/from .NET DataFrames, using ParquetSharp.

Reading Parquet files

Parquet data is read into a DataFrame using ToDataFrame extension methods on ParquetFileReader, for example:

using ParquetSharp;

using (var parquetReader = new ParquetFileReader(parquet_file_path))
{
    var dataFrame = parquetReader.ToDataFrame();
    parquetReader.Close();
}

Overloads are provided that allow you to read specific columns from the Parquet file, and/or a subset of row groups:

var dataFrame = parquetReader.ToDataFrame(columns: new [] {"col_1", "col_2"});
var dataFrame = parquetReader.ToDataFrame(rowGroupIndices: new [] {0, 1});

Writing Parquet files

Parquet files are written using the ToParquet extension method on DataFrame:

using ParquetSharp;
using Microsoft.Data.Analysis;

var dataFrame = new DataFrame(columns);
dataFrame.ToParquet(parquet_file_path);

Parquet writing options can be overridden by providing an instance of WriterProperties:

using (var propertiesBuilder = new WriterPropertiesBuilder())
{
    propertiesBuilder.Compression(Compression.Snappy);
    using (var properties = propertiesBuilder.Build())
    {
        dataFrame.ToParquet(parquet_file_path, properties);
    }
}

The logical type to use when writing a column can optionally be overridden. This is required when writing decimal columns, as you must specify the precision and scale to be used (see the Parquet documentation for more details). This also allows writing an integer column as a Parquet date or time.

dataFrame.ToParquet(parquet_file_path, logicalTypeOverrides: new Dictionary<string, LogicalType>
{
    {"decimal_column", LogicalType.Decimal(precision: 29, scale: 3)},
    {"date_column", LogicalType.Date()},
    {"time_column", LogicalType.Time(isAdjustedToUtc: true, TimeUnit.Millis)},
});
