Struct StreamWriter

pub struct StreamWriter<W> { /* private fields */ }

Arrow Stream Writer

Writes Arrow RecordBatches to bytes using the IPC Streaming Format.

See Also

• FileWriter for writing IPC Files

Example

let batch = record_batch!(("a", Int32, [1, 2, 3])).unwrap();
// create a new writer, the schema must be known in advance
let mut writer = StreamWriter::try_new(&mut stream, &batch.schema()).unwrap();
// write each batch to the underlying stream
writer.write(&batch).unwrap();
// When all batches are written, call finish to flush all buffers
writer.finish().unwrap();

Implementations

impl<W> StreamWriter<BufWriter<W>>

where W: Write,

pub fn try_new_buffered( writer: W, schema: &Schema, ) -> Result<StreamWriter<BufWriter<W>>, ArrowError>

Try to create a new stream writer with the writer wrapped in a BufWriter.

See StreamWriter::try_new for an unbuffered version.

impl<W> StreamWriter<W>

where W: Write,

pub fn try_new( writer: W, schema: &Schema, ) -> Result<StreamWriter<W>, ArrowError>

Try to create a new writer, with the schema written as part of the header.

Note that there is no internal buffering. See also StreamWriter::try_new_buffered.

Errors

An ‘Err’ may be returned if writing the header to the writer fails.

pub fn try_new_with_options( writer: W, schema: &Schema, write_options: IpcWriteOptions, ) -> Result<StreamWriter<W>, ArrowError>

Try to create a new writer with IpcWriteOptions.

Errors

An ‘Err’ may be returned if writing the header to the writer fails.

pub fn write(&mut self, batch: &RecordBatch) -> Result<(), ArrowError>

Write a record batch to the stream

pub fn finish(&mut self) -> Result<(), ArrowError>

Write continuation bytes, and mark the stream as done

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &W

Gets a reference to the underlying writer.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut W

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying writer.

It is inadvisable to directly write to the underlying writer.

pub fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<(), ArrowError>

Flush the underlying writer.

Both the BufWriter and the underlying writer are flushed.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Result<W, ArrowError>

Unwraps the the underlying writer.

The writer is flushed and the StreamWriter is finished before returning.

Errors

An ‘Err’ may be returned if an error occurs while finishing the StreamWriter or while flushing the writer.

Example

// The result we expect from an empty schema
let expected = vec![
    255, 255, 255, 255,  48,   0,   0,   0,
     16,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,  10,   0,
     12,   0,  10,   0,   9,   0,   4,   0,
     10,   0,   0,   0,  16,   0,   0,   0,
      0,   1,   4,   0,   8,   0,   8,   0,
      0,   0,   4,   0,   8,   0,   0,   0,
      4,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,
    255, 255, 255, 255,   0,   0,   0,   0
];

let schema = Schema::empty();
let buffer: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
let options = IpcWriteOptions::try_new(8, false, MetadataVersion::V5)?;
let stream_writer = StreamWriter::try_new_with_options(buffer, &schema, options)?;

assert_eq!(stream_writer.into_inner()?, expected);

Trait Implementations

impl<W> RecordBatchWriter for StreamWriter<W>

where W: Write,

fn write(&mut self, batch: &RecordBatch) -> Result<(), ArrowError>

Write a single batch to the writer.

fn close(self) -> Result<(), ArrowError>

Write footer or termination data, then mark the writer as done.
