snowflake.snowpark.DataFrameReader.avro¶

DataFrameReader.avro(path: str) → DataFrame[source] (https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowpark-python/blob/v1.26.0/snowpark-python/src/snowflake/snowpark/dataframe_reader.py#L649-L675)¶

Specify the path of the AVRO file(s) to load.

Parameters:

path – The stage location of an AVRO file, or a stage location that has AVRO files.

Note

When using DataFrame.select(), quote the column names to select the desired columns. This is needed because converting from AVRO to class:DataFrame does not capitalize the column names from the original columns and a DataFrame.select() without quote looks for capitalized column names.

Returns:

a DataFrame that is set up to load data from the specified AVRO file(s) in a Snowflake stage.
