Usage

Usage: json2parquet [OPTIONS] <JSON> <PARQUET>

Arguments:
  <JSON>     Input JSON file, stdin if not present
  <PARQUET>  Output file

Options:
  -s, --schema-file <SCHEMA_FILE>
          File with Arrow schema in JSON format
      --max-read-records <MAX_READ_RECORDS>
          The number of records to infer the schema from. All rows if not present. Setting max-read-records to zero will stop schema inference and all columns will be string typed

  -e, --encoding <ENCODING>
          Sets encoding for any column [possible values: plain, plain-dictionary, rle, rle-dictionary, delta-binary-packed, delta-length-byte-array, delta-byte-array, byte-stream-split]
      --data-page-size-limit <DATA_PAGE_SIZE_LIMIT>
          Sets data page size limit
      --dictionary-page-size-limit <DICTIONARY_PAGE_SIZE_LIMIT>
          Sets dictionary page size limit

      --dictionary
          Sets flag to enable/disable dictionary encoding for any column
      --statistics <STATISTICS>
          Sets flag to enable/disable statistics for any column [possible values: none, chunk, page]
      --max-statistics-size <MAX_STATISTICS_SIZE>
          Sets max statistics size for any column. Applicable only if statistics are enabled
  -p, --print-schema
          Print the schema to stderr
  -n, --dry
          Only print the schema
  -h, --help

The --schema-file option uses the same file format as --dry and --print-schema.

Examples

For usage examples, see the csv2parquet examples which shares a similar interface.

Limitations

Since we use the Arrow JSON loader, we are limited to what it supports. Right now, it supports JSON line-delimited files.

{ "a": 42, "b": true }
{ "a": 12, "b": false }
{ "a": 7, "b": true }
