+You either need to install `s3fs`, `adlfs`, `gcs`, or `pyarrow` to be able to
fetch files from an object store.
+
+## Connecting to a catalog
+
+Iceberg leverages the [catalog to have one centralized place to organize the
tables](https://iceberg.apache.org/catalog/). This can be a traditional Hive
catalog to store your Iceberg tables next to the rest, a vendor solution like
the AWS Glue catalog, or an implementation of Icebergs' own [REST
protocol](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/tree/main/open-api). Checkout the
[configuration](configuration.md) page to find all the configuration details.
+## Write a PyArrow dataframe
+
+Let's take the Taxi dataset, and write this to an Iceberg table.
+
+First download one month of data:
+
+```shell
+curl
https://d37ci6vzurychx.cloudfront.net/trip-data/yellow_tripdata_2023-01.parquet
-o /tmp/yellow_tripdata_2023-01.parquet
```
-pip install
"git+https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python.git#egg=pyiceberg[s3fs]";
+
+Load it into your PyArrow dataframe:
+
+```python
+import pyarrow.parquet as pq
+
+df = pq.read_table("/tmp/yellow_tripdata_2023-01.parquet")
```
-Or clone the repository for local development:
+Create a new Iceberg table:
-```sh
-git clone https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python.git
-cd iceberg-python
-pip3 install -e ".[s3fs,hive]"
+```python
+from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog
+
+catalog = load_catalog("default")
+
+table = catalog.create_table(
+ "default.taxi_dataset",
+ schema=df.schema, # Blocked by
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/305
+)
```
-You can mix and match optional dependencies depending on your needs:
+Append the dataframe to the table:
+
+```python
+table.append(df)
+len(table.scan().to_arrow())
+```
+
+3066766 rows have been written to the table.
+
+Now generate a tip-per-mile feature to train the model on:
+
+```python
+import pyarrow.compute as pc
+
+df = df.append_column("tip_per_mile", pc.divide(df["tip_amount"],
df["trip_distance"]))
+```
+
+Evolve the schema of the table with the new column:
+
+```python
+from pyiceberg.catalog import Catalog
+
+with table.update_schema() as update_schema:
+ # Blocked by https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/pull/305
+ update_schema.union_by_name(Catalog._convert_schema_if_needed(df.schema))
Review Comment:
I fully agree. I should have been more explicit in the comment above. Once
#305 is in, we can update the `union_by_name` to also accept `pa.Schema`. WDYT?
