Crate arrow_buffer

Buffer abstractions for Apache Arrow

Modules

• alloc
  Defines memory-related functions, such as allocate/deallocate/reallocate memory regions, cache and allocation alignments.
• bit_chunk_iterator
  Types for iterating over bitmasks in 64-bit chunks
• bit_util
  Utils for working with bits
• buffer
  This module contains two main structs: Buffer and MutableBuffer. A buffer represents a contiguous memory region that can be shared via offsets.

Structs

• Buffer
  Buffer represents a contiguous memory region that can be shared with other buffers and across thread boundaries.
• MutableBuffer
  A MutableBuffer is Arrow’s interface to build a Buffer out of items or slices of items. Buffers created from MutableBuffer (via into) are guaranteed to have its pointer aligned along cache lines and in multiple of 64 bytes. Use MutableBuffer::push to insert an item, MutableBuffer::extend_from_slice to insert many items, and into to convert it to Buffer.
• i256
  A signed 256-bit integer

Traits

• ArrowNativeType
  Trait expressing a Rust type that has the same in-memory representation as Arrow. This includes i16, f32, but excludes bool (which in arrow is represented in bits).
• ToByteSlice
  Allows conversion from supported Arrow types to a byte slice.
