read_parquet_metadata

function of dascore.utils.tables

source

read_parquet_metadata(
    path ,
)-> ‘dict[str, str]’

Return what a parquet file states about itself, reading no rows.

The footer alone, so a caller which needs what a file says before it decides how to read the table – which dimensions its columns are in, say – does not pay for the table to find out.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
path	The parquet file to read.
