pandas.read_orc¶

pandas.read_orc(path, columns=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Load an ORC object from the file path, returning a DataFrame.

New in version 1.0.0.

Parameters

pathstr, path object or file-like object

Any valid string path is acceptable. The string could be a URL. Valid URL schemes include http, ftp, s3, and file. For file URLs, a host is expected. A local file could be: file://localhost/path/to/table.orc.

If you want to pass in a path object, pandas accepts any os.PathLike.

By file-like object, we refer to objects with a read() method, such as a file handle (e.g. via builtin open function) or StringIO.

columnslist, default None

If not None, only these columns will be read from the file.

**kwargs

Any additional kwargs are passed to pyarrow.

Returns

DataFrame
