Description: Json2Parquet |Build Status|
        ===========================
        
        This library wraps ``pyarrow`` to provide some tools to easily convert
        JSON data into Parquet format. It is mostly in Python. It iterates over
        files. It copies the data several times in memory. It is not meant to be
        the fastest thing available. However, it is convenient for smaller data
        sets, or people who don't have a huge issue with speed.
        
        Installation
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install json2parquet
        
        Usage
        ~~~~~
        
        Here's how to load a random JSON dataset.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from json2parquet import convert_json
        
            # Infer Schema (requires reading dataset for column names)
            convert_json(input_filename, output_filename)
        
            # Given columns
            convert_json(input_filename, output_filename, ["my_column", "my_int"])
        
            # Given PyArrow schema
            import pyarrow as pa
            schema = pa.schema([
                pa.field('my_column', pa.string),
                pa.field('my_int', pa.int64),
            ])
            convert_json(input_filename, output_filename, schema)
        
        
        You can also work with Python data structures directly
        
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from json2parquet import load_json, ingest_data, write_parquet
        
            # Loading JSON to a PyArrow RecordBatch (schema is optional as above)
            load_json(input_filename, schema)
        
            # Working with a list of dictionaries
            ingest_data(input_data, schema)
        
            # Writing Parquet Files from PyArrow Record Batches
            write_parquet(data, destination)
        
            # You can also pass any keyword arguments that PyArrow accepts
            write_parquet(data, destination, compression='snappy')
        
        
        Although ``json2parquet`` can infer schemas, it has helpers to pull in external ones as well
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from json2parquet import load_json
            from json2parquet.helpers import get_schema_from_redshift
        
            # Fetch the schema from Redshift (requires psycopg2)
            schema = get_schema_from_redshift(redshift_schema, redshift_table, redshift_uri)
        
            # Load JSON with the Redshift schema
            load_json(input_filename, schema)
        
        
        Operational Notes
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        If you are using this library to convert JSON data to be read by ``Spark``, ``Athena``, ``Spectrum`` or ``Presto`` make sure you use ``use_deprecated_int96_timestamps`` when writing your Parquet files, otherwise you will see some really screwy dates.
