Python/Rust Quick Start

This guide will help you get started with hudi-rs, a native Rust library for Apache Hudi with Python bindings. Learn how to install, set up, and perform basic operations using both Python and Rust interfaces.

Installation

# Python
pip install hudi
# Rust
cargo add hudi

Basic Usage

note

Currently, write capabilities and reading from MOR tables are not supported.

The examples below expect a Hudi table exists at /tmp/trips_table, created using the quick start guide.

Python Example

from hudi import HudiTableBuilder
import pyarrow as pa
hudi_table = (
    HudiTableBuilder
    .from_base_uri("/tmp/trips_table")
    .build()
)
# Read with partition filters
records = hudi_table.read_snapshot(filters=[("city", "=", "san_francisco")])
# Convert to PyArrow table
arrow_table = pa.Table.from_batches(records)
result = arrow_table.select(["rider", "city", "ts", "fare"])

Rust Example (with DataFusion)

1. Set up your project:

cargo new my_project --bin && cd my_project
cargo add tokio@1 datafusion@42
cargo add hudi --features datafusion

1. Add code to src/main.rs:

use std::sync::Arc;
use datafusion::error::Result;
use datafusion::prelude::{DataFrame, SessionContext};
use hudi::HudiDataSource;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let ctx = SessionContext::new();
    let hudi = HudiDataSource::new_with_options("/tmp/trips_table", []).await?;
    ctx.register_table("trips_table", Arc::new(hudi))?;
    // Read with partition filters
    let df: DataFrame = ctx.sql("SELECT * from trips_table where city = 'san_francisco'").await?;
    df.show().await?;
    Ok(())
}

Cloud Storage Integration

Python

from hudi import HudiTableBuilder
hudi_table = (
    HudiTableBuilder
    .from_base_uri("s3://bucket/trips_table")
    .with_option("aws_region", "us-west-2")
    .build()
)

Rust

use hudi::HudiDataSource;
let hudi = HudiDataSource::new_with_options(
    "s3://bucket/trips_table",
    [("aws_region", "us-west-2")]
).await?;

Supported Cloud Storage

• AWS S3 (s3://)
• Azure Storage (az://)
• Google Cloud Storage (gs://)

Set appropriate environment variables (AWS_*, AZURE_*, or GOOGLE_*) for authentication, or pass through the option() API.

Read with Timestamp

Add timestamp option for time-travel queries:

.with_option("hoodie.read.as.of.timestamp", "20241122010827898")
