Write Parquet file or dataset on Amazon S3.

The concept of Dataset goes beyond the simple idea of ordinary files and enable more complex features like partitioning and catalog integration (Amazon Athena/AWS Glue Catalog).

Note

This operation may mutate the original pandas dataframe in-place. To avoid this behaviour please pass in a deep copy instead (i.e. df.copy())

Note

If database and table arguments are passed, the table name and all column names will be automatically sanitized using wr.catalog.sanitize_table_name and wr.catalog.sanitize_column_name. Please, pass sanitize_columns=True to enforce this behaviour always.

Note

In case of use_threads=True the number of threads that will be spawned will be gotten from os.cpu_count().

Note

This function has arguments which can be configured globally through wr.config or environment variables:

  • catalog_id

  • concurrent_partitioning

  • database

Check out the Global Configurations Tutorial for details.

Parameters:
  • df (pandas.DataFrame) – Pandas DataFrame https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.html

  • path (str, optional) – S3 path (for file e.g. s3://bucket/prefix/filename.parquet) (for dataset e.g. s3://bucket/prefix). Required if dataset=False or when dataset=True and creating a new dataset

  • index (bool) – True to store the DataFrame index in file, otherwise False to ignore it.

  • compression (str, optional) – Compression style (None, snappy, gzip, zstd).

  • pyarrow_additional_kwargs (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Additional parameters forwarded to pyarrow. e.g. pyarrow_additional_kwargs={‘coerce_timestamps’: ‘ns’, ‘use_deprecated_int96_timestamps’: False, ‘allow_truncated_timestamps’=False}

  • max_rows_by_file (int) – Max number of rows in each file. Default is None i.e. dont split the files. (e.g. 33554432, 268435456)

  • use_threads (bool, int) – True to enable concurrent requests, False to disable multiple threads. If enabled os.cpu_count() will be used as the max number of threads. If integer is provided, specified number is used.

  • boto3_session (boto3.Session(), optional) – Boto3 Session. The default boto3 session will be used if boto3_session receive None.

  • s3_additional_kwargs (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Forwarded to botocore requests. e.g. s3_additional_kwargs={‘ServerSideEncryption’: ‘aws:kms’, ‘SSEKMSKeyId’: ‘YOUR_KMS_KEY_ARN’}

  • sanitize_columns (bool) – True to sanitize columns names (using wr.catalog.sanitize_table_name and wr.catalog.sanitize_column_name) or False to keep it as is. True value behaviour is enforced if database and table arguments are passed.

  • dataset (bool) – If True store a parquet dataset instead of a ordinary file(s) If True, enable all follow arguments: partition_cols, mode, database, table, description, parameters, columns_comments, concurrent_partitioning, catalog_versioning, projection_enabled, projection_types, projection_ranges, projection_values, projection_intervals, projection_digits, catalog_id, schema_evolution.

  • filename_prefix (str, optional) – If dataset=True, add a filename prefix to the output files.

  • partition_cols (List[str], optional) – List of column names that will be used to create partitions. Only takes effect if dataset=True.

  • bucketing_info (Tuple[List[str], int], optional) – Tuple consisting of the column names used for bucketing as the first element and the number of buckets as the second element. Only str, int and bool are supported as column data types for bucketing.

  • concurrent_partitioning (bool) – If True will increase the parallelism level during the partitions writing. It will decrease the writing time and increase the memory usage. https://aws-sdk-pandas.readthedocs.io/en/2.20.1/tutorials/022%20-%20Writing%20Partitions%20Concurrently.html

  • mode (str, optional) – append (Default), overwrite, overwrite_partitions. Only takes effect if dataset=True. For details check the related tutorial: https://aws-sdk-pandas.readthedocs.io/en/2.20.1/tutorials/004%20-%20Parquet%20Datasets.html

  • catalog_versioning (bool) – If True and mode=”overwrite”, creates an archived version of the table catalog before updating it.

  • schema_evolution (bool) – If True allows schema evolution (new or missing columns), otherwise a exception will be raised. True by default. (Only considered if dataset=True and mode in (“append”, “overwrite_partitions”)) Related tutorial: https://aws-sdk-pandas.readthedocs.io/en/2.20.1/tutorials/014%20-%20Schema%20Evolution.html
