go-py-arrow-bridge

GoDoc CircleCI

A rudimentary bridge for Apache Arrow between Go and Python to facilitate zero-copy.

This Go module demonstrates in the tests how easy it is to create an Arrow Table in Python and use the same Arrow Table in Go without copying the underlying buffers.

Installation

Add the package to your go.mod file:

require github.com/nickpoorman/go-py-arrow-bridge master

Or, clone the repository:

git clone --branch master https://github.com/nickpoorman/go-py-arrow-bridge.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/nickpoorman/go-py-arrow-bridge

Example

See the example or clone down the repo an run it via make run.

Benchmarks

As you can see below, the amount of time to move data across the Python/Go language boundary stays constant as the number of elements increases.

However, as the number of chunks increase, the amount of time also increases. I believe this is due to the large number of CGO calls happening in loops. A future version might try to reduce the number of CGO calls by implementing the schema data gathering in C. In the meantime, a workaround could compress the table down to a single chunk before crossing the language boundary.

These results are from my Mid 2012 MacBook Air (1.8GHz i5 / 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3).
