# parquet-format-safe
This crate contains an implementation of Thirft and generated Rust code
associated to Parquet's thrift definition.
Note that this crate does not contain functionality to read the parquet format.
See [parquet2](https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/parquet2) for such functionality.
* supports `sync` and `async` read API
* supports `sync` and `async` write API
* the write API returns the number of written bytes
* the read API is panic free
* the read API has a bound on the maximum number of possible bytes read, to avoid OOM.
It must be used with the fork of thrift's compiler available
at https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/thrift/tree/safe .
