Quickstart

This script demonstrates creating an Arrow Table, writing it to a Parquet file, and reading it back using PyArrow.

import pyarrow as pa

# Create a simple Arrow Table
data = {'column1': [1, 2, 3], 'column2': ['A', 'B', 'C']}
table = pa.table(data)

# Write the Table to a Parquet file
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
pq.write_table(table, 'example.parquet')

# Read the Table back from the Parquet file
table_read = pq.read_table('example.parquet')
print(table_read)
