Francois Saint-Jacques resolved ARROW-8061. ------------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 0.17.0 Resolution: Fixed Issue resolved by pull request 6670 [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/6670] > [C++][Dataset] Ability to specify granularity of ParquetFileFragment (support > row groups) > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-8061 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8061 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ - Dataset > Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche > Assignee: Ben Kietzman > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 0.17.0 > > Time Spent: 5.5h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Specifically for parquet (not sure if it will be relevant for other file > formats as well, for IPC/feather potentially ther record batch), it would be > useful to target row groups instead of files as fragments. > Quoting the original design documents: _"In datasets consisting of many > fragments, the dataset API must expose the granularity of fragments in a > public way to enable parallel processing, if desired. "._ > And a comment from Wes on that: _"a single Parquet file can "export" one or > more fragments based on settings. The default might be to split fragments > based on row group"_ > Currently, the level on which fragments are defined (at least in the typical > partitioned parquet dataset) is "1 file == 1 fragment". > Would it be possible or desirable to make this more fine grained, where you > could also opt to have a fragment per row group? > We could have a ParquetFragment that has this option, and a ParquetFileFormat > specific option to say what the granularity of a fragment is (file vs row > group)? > cc [~fsaintjacques] [~bkietz] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
