Future direction
There are a few obvious places to go with this, and you probably don't really care about these, but just so you know I know...:
- Nothing is configurable outside of code. (E.g. the Parquet batch size is a constant.) Might have been better to do a CLI rather than a test. Production code would of course be more configurable/tunable.
- My dataset is a bit lopsided--an employees table with 500K records and a departments table with only 9. This made it a bit difficult to definitively establish how much concurrency actually benefitted in some areas but intuitively it made sense, and would probably bear out on actual data.
- As previously stated, I'm not familiar with Parquet/Arrow outside of my use of it with DuckDB/Overture Maps. There are probably additional ways to speed things up, and I look forward to learning about those when we work together.
Thanks, and do let me know if you have any additional questions.
