ParquetSharp in PowerShell

The main requirement to using ParquetSharp from PowerShell is that ParquetSharpNative.dll is in the PATH or in the same directory as ParquetSharp.dll. The following guide shows one possible approach to achieve this:

Installation

You can install ParquetSharp with the NuGet command line interface.

First, make sure nuget.exe is in your PATH, or in the current directory, then run the following to install the latest version of ParquetSharp into a new directory called lib:

nuget install ParquetSharp -OutputDirectory lib

Then, go into the lib directory and add the required .dll files to bin. The library versions may not necessarily match, so adjust them as necessary:

New-Item -Name "bin" -ItemType Directory
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\System.Buffers.4.5.1\lib\net461\System.Buffers.dll" -Destination ".\bin"
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\System.Memory.4.5.4\lib\net461\System.Memory.dll" -Destination ".\bin"
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\System.Numerics.Vectors.4.5.0\lib\net46\System.Numerics.Vectors.dll" -Destination ".\bin"
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.4.5.3\lib\net461\System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll" -Destination ".\bin"
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\System.ValueTuple.4.5.0\lib\net461\System.ValueTuple.dll" -Destination ".\bin"

Finally, copy ParquetSharp.dll and ParquetSharpNative.dll into bin. This will depend on the current version of ParquetSharp, as well as your architecture and OS:

# Replace path with the appropriate version of ParquetSharp
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\ParquetSharp.12.1.0\lib\net461\ParquetSharp.dll" -Destination ".\bin"

# Replace path with the appropriate version of ParquetSharp and architecture
Copy-Item -Path ".\lib\ParquetSharp.12.1.0\runtimes\win-x64\native\ParquetSharpNative.dll" -Destination ".\bin"

The available runtime architectures are win-x64, linux-x64, linux-arm64, osx-x64, and osx-arm64.

Usage

Use Add-Type to load ParquetSharp.dll. Note that we're using custom directories:

# Replace path with the appropriate versions of ParquetSharp
Add-Type -Path ".\lib\ParquetSharp.12.1.0\lib\net471\ParquetSharp.dll"

Now you can use ParquetSharp as usual:

$reader = New-Object -TypeName ParquetSharp.ParquetFileReader -ArgumentList "./data.parquet"
