Blazingly fast DataFrames in Rust, Python & Node.js
Polars is a blazingly fast DataFrames library implemented in Rust using Apache Arrow Columnar Format as the memory model.
- Lazy | eager execution
- Multi-threaded
- SIMD
- Query optimization
- Powerful expression API
- Rust | Python | ...

Performance 🚀🚀
Polars is very fast. In fact, it is one of the best performing solutions available. See the results in h2oai's db-benchmark.
Python setup
Install the latest polars version with:
$ pip3 install -U 'polars[pyarrow]'
Releases happen quite often (weekly / every few days) at the moment, so updating polars regularly to get the latest bugfixes / features might not be a bad idea.
Rust setup
You can take latest release from crates.io, or if you want to use the latest features / performance improvements
point to the master branch of this repo.
polars = { git = "https://github.com/pola-rs/polars", rev = "<optional git tag>" }
Rust version
Required Rust version >=1.58

[Python]: compile polars from source
If you want a bleeding edge release or maximal performance you should compile polars from source.
This can be done by going through the following steps in sequence:
- Install the latest Rust compiler
- Install maturin:
$ pip3 install maturin - Choose any of:
- Fastest binary, very long compile times:
$ cd py-polars && maturin develop --rustc-extra-args="-C target-cpu=native" --release
- Fast binary, Shorter compile times:
$ cd py-polars && maturin develop --rustc-extra-args="-C codegen-units=16 -C lto=thin -C target-cpu=native" --release
- Fastest binary, very long compile times:
Note that the Rust crate implementing the Python bindings is called py-polars to distinguish from the wrapped
Rust crate polars itself. However, both the Python package and the Python module are named polars, so you
can pip install polars and import polars.
Arrow2
Polars has transitioned to arrow2. Arrow2 is a faster and safer implementation of the Apache Arrow Columnar Format. Arrow2 also has a more granular code base, helping to reduce the compiler bloat.
Use custom Rust function in python?
See this example.
Going big...
Do you expect more than 2^32 ~4,2 billion rows? Compile polars with the bigidx feature flag.
Or for python users install $ pip install -U polars-u64-idx.
Don't use this unless you hit the row boundary as the default polars is faster and consumes less memory.
