Python interface to the Apache Arrow-based Feather File Format
Feather efficiently stores pandas DataFrame objects on disk. It depends on the
Apache Arrow for Python
Installing
pip install feather-format
pip users note: feather-format
depends on pyarrow
and may not be
available on your platform via pip. If that does not work try conda-forge.
From conda-forge:
conda install feather-format -c conda-forge
Limitations
Some features of pandas are not supported in Feather:
- Non-string column names
- Row indexes
- Object-type columns with non-homogeneous data
