pyarrow.MemoryMappedFile

class pyarrow.MemoryMappedFile

Bases: pyarrow.lib.NativeFile

A stream that represents a memory-mapped file.

Supports ‘r’, ‘r+’, ‘w’ modes.

__init__()

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__()	Initialize self.
close(self)
create(path, size)
download(self, stream_or_path[, buffer_size])	Read file completely to local path (rather than reading completely into memory).
fileno(self)
flush(self)	Flush the stream, if applicable.
isatty(self)
read(self[, nbytes])	Read indicated number of bytes from file, or read all remaining bytes if no argument passed
read1(self[, nbytes])	Read and return up to n bytes.
read_at(self, nbytes, offset)	Read indicated number of bytes at offset from the file
read_buffer(self[, nbytes])
readable(self)
readall(self)
readinto(self, b)	Read into the supplied buffer
readline(self[, size])	NOT IMPLEMENTED.
readlines(self[, hint])	NOT IMPLEMENTED.
resize(self, new_size)	Resize the map and underlying file.
seek(self, int64_t position, int whence=0)	Change current file stream position
seekable(self)
size(self)	Return file size
tell(self)	Return current stream position
truncate(self)	NOT IMPLEMENTED
upload(self, stream[, buffer_size])	Pipe file-like object to file
writable(self)
write(self, data)	Write byte from any object implementing buffer protocol (bytes, bytearray, ndarray, pyarrow.Buffer)
writelines(self, lines)

Attributes

closed
mode	The file mode.

close(self)

closed

static create(path, size)

download(self, stream_or_path, buffer_size=None)

Read file completely to local path (rather than reading completely into memory). First seeks to the beginning of the file.

fileno(self)

flush(self)

Flush the stream, if applicable.

An error is raised if stream is not writable.

isatty(self)

mode

The file mode. Currently instances of NativeFile may support:

• rb: binary read

• wb: binary write

• rb+: binary read and write

read(self, nbytes=None)

Read indicated number of bytes from file, or read all remaining bytes if no argument passed

Parameters

nbytes (int, default None) –

Returns

data (bytes)

read1(self, nbytes=None)

Read and return up to n bytes.

Alias for read, needed to match the IOBase interface.

read_at(self, nbytes, offset)

Read indicated number of bytes at offset from the file

Parameters

• nbytes (int) –

• offset (int) –

Returns

data (bytes)

read_buffer(self, nbytes=None)

readable(self)

readall(self)

readinto(self, b)

Read into the supplied buffer

Parameters

b (any python object supporting buffer interface) –

Returns

number of bytes written

readline(self, size=None)

NOT IMPLEMENTED. Read and return a line of bytes from the file.

If size is specified, read at most size bytes.

Line terminator is always b”n”.

readlines(self, hint=None)

NOT IMPLEMENTED. Read lines of the file

Parameters

hint (int maximum number of bytes read until we stop) –

resize(self, new_size)

Resize the map and underlying file.

Parameters

new_size (new size in bytes) –

seek(self, int64_t position, int whence=0)

Change current file stream position

Parameters

• position (int) – Byte offset, interpreted relative to value of whence argument

• whence (int, default 0) – Point of reference for seek offset

Notes

Values of whence: * 0 – start of stream (the default); offset should be zero or positive * 1 – current stream position; offset may be negative * 2 – end of stream; offset is usually negative

Returns

new_position (the new absolute stream position)

seekable(self)

size(self)

Return file size

tell(self)

Return current stream position

truncate(self)

NOT IMPLEMENTED

upload(self, stream, buffer_size=None)

Pipe file-like object to file

writable(self)

write(self, data)

Write byte from any object implementing buffer protocol (bytes, bytearray, ndarray, pyarrow.Buffer)

Parameters

data (bytes-like object or exporter of buffer protocol) –

Returns

nbytes (number of bytes written)

writelines(self, lines)
