colstore.create¶

colstore.create(path, *, statistics=False)[source]¶

Open a new file for streaming writes; fail if it already exists.

Use this when you want to be sure you are not overwriting anything. statistics=True records per-column statistics so later filters can skip data that cannot match; off by default, most useful for selective queries on sorted or clustered data.

Parameters:

path (str | PathLike[str])
statistics (bool)

Return type:

ColStoreWriter
