Enhance and accelerate machine learning data pipelines using Apache Arrow and its subprojects
Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description

Apache Arrow is an open source, columnar in-memory data format designed for efficient data processing and analytics. This book harnesses the author's 15 years of experience to show you a standardized way to work with tabular data across various programming languages and environments, enabling high-performance data processing and exchange. This updated second edition gives you an overview of the Arrow format, highlighting its versatility and benefits through real-world use cases. It guides you through enhancing data science workflows, optimizing performance with Apache Parquet and Spark, and ensuring seamless data translation. You'll explore data interchange and storage formats, and Arrow's relationships with Parquet, Protocol Buffers, FlatBuffers, JSON, and CSV. You'll also discover Apache Arrow subprojects, including Flight, SQL, Database Connectivity, and nanoarrow. You'll learn to streamline machine learning workflows, use Arrow Dataset APIs, and integrate with popular analytical data systems such as Snowflake, Dremio, and DuckDB. The latter chapters provide real-world examples and case studies of products powered by Apache Arrow, providing practical insights into its applications. By the end of this book, you'll have all the building blocks to create efficient and powerful analytical services and utilities with Apache Arrow.

What you will learn

Use Apache Arrow libraries to access data files, both locally and in the cloud
Understand the zero-copy elements of the Apache Arrow format
Improve the read performance of data pipelines by memory-mapping Arrow files
Produce and consume Apache Arrow data efficiently by sharing memory with the C API
Leverage the Arrow compute engine, Acero, to perform complex operations
Create Arrow Flight servers and clients for transferring data quickly
Build the Arrow libraries locally and contribute to the community

Who this book is for

This book is for developers, data engineers, and data scientists looking to explore the capabilities of Apache Arrow from the ground up. Whether you're building utilities for data analytics and query engines, or building full pipelines with tabular data, this book can help you out regardless of your preferred programming language. A basic understanding of data analysis concepts is needed, but not necessary. Code examples are provided using C++, Python, and Go throughout the book.
