Parquet

AMI supports importing of data from Apache Parquet files via a lightweight adapter.

The Parquet adapter does not ship with AMI by default. Please contact support@3forge.com to get the adapter assigned to your 3forge account.

Setup

Requirements

• AMI parquet adapter
• Parquet files in a readily-accessible directory

Parquet Adapter Setup

1. Navigate to the 3forge Account portal and go to the 'Files' page. Download the Parquet adapter zip assigned to your account.

2. Unzip the adapter. There will be a lib folder containing .jar files for the adapter. Copy and paste these files into the amione/lib directory of your AMI instance.

3. Restart/Launch AMI. Parquet should now be available under Dashboard -> Data Modeler -> Attach Datasource

   

4. Provide a name for the datasource and the path to the directory containing your .parquet files. Click "Add Datasource."

5. You can then create datamodels as with any other datasource:

   

Note

The adapter currently only supports a full data import (SELECT * FROM ...) from the datasource
