How parquetDatastore works

  • The constructor preserves file specifications for code that passes datastore descriptors around.
  • Parquet decoding and iterator-style operations such as read, hasdata, and reset require the generic datastore dispatch layer and are not provided by this constructor builtin.

Example

Create parquet datastore descriptor

ds = parquetDatastore('data.parquet')

Expected output:

ds = parquetDatastore object

Using parquetDatastore with coding agents

Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how parquetDatastore changes the result.

Run a small parquetDatastore example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.

Open-source implementation

Unlike proprietary runtimes, every RunMat function is open-source. Read exactly how parquetDatastore is executed, line by line, in Rust.
