ParquetIndexer¶

ParquetIndexer manages the Hive-partitioned Parquet store (year=YYYY/month=MM/). It is used by Zarr2Parquet to persist h2ds data and can be used directly for analysis.

from h2mare.storage.parquet_indexer import ParquetIndexer

idx = ParquetIndexer("data/processed/parquet")

Constructor¶

ParquetIndexer(
    parquet_root,
    time_col="time",
    lon_col="lon",
    lat_col="lat",
)

Parameter	Default	Description
`parquet_root`	—	Root directory for the Parquet store
`time_col`	`"time"`	Name of the time column
`lon_col`	`"lon"`	Name of the longitude column
`lat_col`	`"lat"`	Name of the latitude column

Writing¶

`add_data(df, time_mode="date", fmt=None)`¶

Add or replace data in the store. Handles first writes, schema evolution, and overlap resolution automatically.

idx.add_data(df)

Parameter	Default	Description
`df`	—	`pl.DataFrame` to write
`time_mode`	`"date"`	`"date"` for daily dates, `"datetime"` for sub-daily
`fmt`	`None`	strptime format string, only used when the time column is a string

Key behaviours: - Atomic writes — each partition is written to .tmp_write_YYYY_MM then renamed into place. - Overlap resolution — when new data overlaps existing partitions in time or columns, all affected partitions are merged with a single DuckDB FULL OUTER JOIN and rewritten atomically. - Schema evolution — new columns are detected and added; missing columns in existing partitions are backfilled with nulls. - Float32 storage — Float64 columns are downcast to Float32 on write.

Reading¶

`scan(dates=None, bbox=None, columns=None) → pl.LazyFrame`¶

Return a lazy frame with optional filters. Does not load data into memory.

lf = idx.scan(dates=("2021-01-01", "2021-12-31"), bbox=(-10, 30, 20, 50))
df = lf.collect()

Parameter	Description
`dates`	`(start, end)` tuple for a range, or `list[str]` for discrete dates
`bbox`	`(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)` spatial filter
`columns`	Column name or list; `time`, `lon`, `lat` are always included

`load(dates=None, bbox=None, columns=None) → pl.DataFrame`¶

Same as scan() but collects and returns a pl.DataFrame.

Metadata¶

Method	Returns	Description
`get_schema()`	`dict[str, pl.DataType]`	Column names and dtypes
`get_time_coverage()`	`DateRange \\| None`	Start and end of stored data
`get_geoextent()`	`BBox \\| None`	Spatial extent of stored data

Visualization¶

idx.plot.time_series("sst", agg_by="month")
idx.plot.spatial_maps("sst", agg_by="season")

indexer.plot is a cached_property returning a ParquetPlotter. The cache is invalidated automatically after each add_data() call.
