• Repository: https://github.com/mmore500/joinem

Install

python3 -m pip install joinem

Features

• Lazily streams I/O to expeditiously handle numerous large files.
• Supports CSV and parquet input files.
  • Due to current polars limitations, JSON and feather files are not supported.
  • Input formats may be mixed.
• Supports output to CSV, JSON, parquet, and feather file types.
• Allows mismatched columns and/or empty data files with --how diagonal and --how diagonal_relaxed.
• Provides a progress bar with --progress.

Example Usage

Pass input filenames via stdin, one filename per line.

find path/to/*.parquet path/to/*.csv | python3 -m joinem out.parquet

Output file type is inferred from the extension of the output file name. Supported output types are feather, JSON, parquet, and csv.

find -name '*.parquet' | python3 -m joinem out.json

Use --progress to show a progress bar.

ls -1 path/{*.csv,*.pqt} | python3 -m joinem out.csv --progress

If file columns may mismatch, use --how diagonal.

find path/to/ -name '*.csv' | python3 -m joinem out.csv --how diagonal

If some files may be empty, use --how diagonal_relaxed.

To run via Singularity/Apptainer,

ls -1 *.csv | singularity run docker://ghcr.io/mmore500/joinem out.feather
