----------------------------------
Summary: Add context manager methods to ParquetWriter
Key: ARROW-2090
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2090
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Reporter: Alec Posney
Add the ability to use python {{with}} syntax on the {{ParquetWriter}} object.
For example:
{code:python}
with pq.ParquetWriter(foo, schema) as writer:
writer.write_table(table)
{code}
The benefit of this syntax is that it removes the chances of you writing out a
partial (invalid) parquet file, which is currently possible if you forget to
call the close method, or more likely the close method is not called due to an
exception being thrown.
It should still be possible to use the previous syntax for backwards
compatibility and fine grained control reasons.
Similarly, the {{parquet}} module level {{write_table}} method should be able
to use the new syntax without changing previous behaviour.
