Module polars::export::arrow::io::parquet::read::schema

This is supported on crate feature io_parquet only.

APIs to handle Parquet <-> Arrow schemas.

Structs

FileMetaData

Metadata for a Parquet file.

SchemaDescriptor

A schema descriptor. This encapsulates the top-level schemas for all the columns, as well as all descriptors for all the primitive columns.

Enums

ParquetType

Representation of a Parquet type. Used to describe primitive leaf fields and structs, including top-level schema. Note that the top-level schema type is represented using GroupType whose repetition is None.

Functions

infer_schema

Infers a Schema from parquet’s FileMetaData. This first looks for the metadata key "ARROW:schema"; if it does not exist, it converts the parquet types declared in the file’s parquet schema to Arrow’s equivalent.

read_schema_from_metadata

Reads an arrow schema from Parquet’s file metadata. Returns None if no schema was found.
