Hi,

I don't know anything about Julia but I'd suspect that there must be something particularly slow in the way it interacts with C. For comparison,  "time python3 swig/python/gdal-utils/osgeo_utils/samples/ogrinfo.py /vsigzip//vsicurl/https://bulk.meteostat.net/v2/hourly/2022/08554.csv.gz -al > /dev/null" that does essentially your loop, and also prints on stdout, runs in 1.5 seconds (compared to native ogrinfo that runs in 0.7 s). Perhaps you could write a Julia wrapper to get all fields of feature at once and return whatever dictionary or equivalent data structure is idiomatic (and efficient )in Julia ? Also are you sure your Julia wrapper is built with optimization enabled?

Hi,

Im trying to read files like

https://bulk.meteostat.net/v2/hourly/2022/08554.csv.gz

in my Julia wrapper. The point is that, although I’m kind off succeeding, the hole operation is very slow.

What I’m doing (code not committed yet so can’t post a link) is to read like this

layer = getlayer(dataset, 0)

for f in layer

               for k = 1: Gdal.nfield(f)

Gdal.getfield(f, k-1)

…

This works but it’s extremely slow because each “getfield” takes about 1e-4 seconds and the file has ~8 k rows, each with 13 fields. That amounts to > 10 sec.

I’ve searched but couldn’t find a way to read the entire file at once (which takes 1e-2 seconds if I read it, locally, with a gzip wrapper) and return it as a single string array that I could parse later.

Is that possible?

Thanks

Joaquim
