## Build
Run `cargo build` or `cargo build --release` to build in release mode.
Some features take advantage of SSE4.2 instructions, which can be
enabled by adding `RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+sse4.2"` before the
`cargo build` command.
## Test
Run `cargo test` for unit tests. To also run tests related to the binaries, use `cargo test --features cli`.
## Binaries
The following binaries are provided (use `cargo install --features cli` to install them):
- **parquet-schema** for printing Parquet file schema and metadata.
`Usage: parquet-schema <file-path>`, where `file-path` is the path to a Parquet file. Use `-v/--verbose` flag
to print full metadata or schema only (when not specified only schema will be printed).
- **parquet-read** for reading records from a Parquet file.
`Usage: parquet-read <file-path> [num-records]`, where `file-path` is the path to a Parquet file,
and `num-records` is the number of records to read from a file (when not specified all records will
be printed). Use `-j/--json` to print records in JSON lines format.
- **parquet-rowcount** for reporting the number of records in one or more Parquet files.
`Usage: parquet-rowcount <file-paths>...`, where `<file-paths>...` is a space separated list of one or more
files to read.
If you see `Library not loaded` error, please make sure `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` is set properly:
```
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(rustc --print sysroot)/lib
```
## Benchmarks
Run `cargo bench` for benchmarks.
## Docs
To build documentation, run `cargo doc --no-deps --all-features`.
To compile and view in the browser, run `cargo doc --no-deps --all-features --open`.
Before submitting a pull request, run `cargo fmt --all` to format the change.
## Update Parquet Format
To generate the parquet format (thrift definitions) code run [`./regen.sh`](./regen.sh).
You may need to manually patch up doc comments that contain unescaped `[]`
