Available on crate feature io_parquet only.
Expand description

Returns a vector of iterators of Array (ArrayIter) corresponding to the top level parquet fields whose name matches fields’s names.

Implementation

This operation is IO-bounded O(C) where C is the number of columns in the row group - it reads all the columns to memory from the row group associated to the requested fields.

This operation is single-threaded. For readers with stronger invariants (e.g. implement Clone) you can use read_columns to read multiple columns at once and convert them to ArrayIter via to_deserializer.
