Apache Arrow Cookbooks

Cookbooks are a collection of recipes about common tasks that Arrow users might want to do. The cookbook is actually composed of multiple cookbooks, one for each supported platform, which contain the recipes for that specific platform.

The cookbook aims to provide immediate instructions for common tasks, in contrast with the Arrow User Guides which provides in-depth explanation. In terms of the Diátaxis framework, the cookbook is task-oriented while the user guide is learning-oriented. The cookbook will often refer to the user guide for deeper explanation.

All cookbooks are buildable to HTML and verifiable by running a set of tests that confirm that the recipes are still working as expected.

Each cookbook is implemented using platform specific tools. For this reason a Makefile is provided which abstracts platform specific concerns and makes it possible to build/test all cookbooks without any platform specific knowledge (as long as dependencies are available on the target system).

See https://arrow.apache.org/cookbook/ for the latest published version using the latest stable version of Apache Arrow. See https://arrow.apache.org/cookbook/dev for the latest published version using the development version of Apache Arrow.

Building Platform Specific Cookbook

Refer to make help to learn the commands that build or test the cookbook for the platform you are targeting.

Prerequisites

Both the R and Python cookbooks will try to install the dependencies they need (including latests pyarrow/arrow-R version). This means that as far as you have a working Python/R environment able to install dependencies through the respective package manager you shouldn't need to install anything manually.
