DataFusion is an extensible query engine written in `Rust <http://rustlang.org>`_ that
uses `Apache Arrow <https://arrow.apache.org>`_ as its in-memory format.

The documentation on this site is for the `core DataFusion project <https://github.com/apache/datafusion>`_, which contains
libraries and binaries for developers building fast and feature rich database and analytic systems,
customized to particular workloads. See `use cases <https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/introduction.html#use-cases>`_ for examples.

The following related subprojects target end users and have separate documentation.

- `DataFusion Python <https://datafusion.apache.org/python/>`_ offers a Python interface for SQL and DataFrame
  queries.
- `DataFusion Java <https://datafusion.apache.org/java/>`_ offers a Java interface for SQL and DataFrame
  queries.
- `DataFusion Comet <https://datafusion.apache.org/comet/>`_ is an accelerator for Apache Spark based on
  DataFusion.
- `DataFusion Ballista <https://datafusion.apache.org/ballista/>`_ is distributed processing extension for DataFusion.

"Out of the box," DataFusion offers `SQL <https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/index.html>`_
and `Dataframe <https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/dataframe/struct.DataFrame.html>`_ APIs,
excellent `performance <https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/>`_, built-in support for CSV, Parquet, JSON, and Avro,
extensive customization, and a great `community`_.
`Python Bindings <https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python>`_ are also available.
`Ballista <https://datafusion.apache.org/ballista/>`_ is Apache DataFusion extension enabling the parallelized execution of workloads across multiple nodes in a distributed environment.

DataFusion features a full query planner, a columnar, streaming, multi-threaded,
vectorized execution engine, and partitioned data sources. You can
customize DataFusion at almost all points including additional data sources,
query languages, functions, custom operators and more.
See the `Architecture <https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/architecture.html>`_ section for more details.
