Antoine Pitrou updated ARROW-5089:
----------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Minor)
> [C++/Python] Writing dictionary encoded columns to parquet is extremely slow
> when using chunk size
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-5089
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5089
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Florian Jetter
> Priority: Major
> Labels: performance
>
> Currently, there is a workaround for dict encoded columns in place to handle
> writing dict encoded columns to parquet.
> The workaround converts the dict encoded array to its plain version before
> writing to parquet. This is painfully slow since for every row group the
> entire array is converted over and over again.
> The following example is orders of magnitude slower than the non-dict encoded
> version:
> {code}
> import pyarrow as pa
> import pyarrow.parquet as pq
> import pandas as pd
> df = pd.DataFrame({"col": ["A", "B"] * 100000}).astype("category")
> table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
> buf = pa.BufferOutputStream()
> pq.write_table(
> table,
> buf,
> chunk_size=100,
> )
> {code}
