Questions & Answers
FEATHER files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are FEATHER files?
FEATHER (Arrow IPC File, GeoArrow) exists in two versions that can be told apart by the first bytes of the file. Version 2, the default, is exactly the Arrow IPC file format, which starts with the signature ARROW1, supports all Arrow data types, and can compress each column with the LZ4 or ZSTD methods, where LZ4 is the usual default and ZSTD gives smaller files at the cost of speed. Version 1, a legacy variant from 2016 that starts with FEA1, lacks many data types and compression, and its support is now deprecated, so such files should be rewritten as version 2. Data are laid out in columns and split into record batches, with a footer that allows random access. A geometry column is marked with a GeoArrow extension type, such as geoarrow.point or geoarrow.wkb, and its metadata may carry the coordinate system. Such a file is vector data, so converting it to graphics means rendering: a program reads the geometry and attribute columns, draws points, lines, and polygons on a canvas in the coordinate system of the data, colors them by an attribute if requested, and saves the picture as PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or GeoTIFF with a chosen resolution. If the file holds only a plain table, there is nothing to draw.
