\usage{
read_parquet(
  file,
  col_select = NULL,
  as_data_frame = TRUE,
  props = ParquetArrowReaderProperties$create(),
  ...
)
}
\arguments{
\item{file}{A character file name or URI, \code{raw} vector, an Arrow input stream,
or a \code{FileSystem} with path (\code{SubTreeFileSystem}).
If a file name or URI, an Arrow \link{InputStream} will be opened and
closed when finished. If an input stream is provided, it will be left
open.}

\item{col_select}{A character vector of column names to keep, as in the
"select" argument to \code{data.table::fread()}, or a
\link[tidyselect:vars_select]{tidy selection specification}
of columns, as used in \code{dplyr::select()}.}

\item{as_data_frame}{Should the function return a \code{data.frame} (default) or
an Arrow \link{Table}?}

\item{props}{\link{ParquetArrowReaderProperties}}

\item{...}{Additional arguments passed to \code{ParquetFileReader$create()}}
}
\value{
A \link[=Table]{arrow::Table}, or a \code{data.frame} if \code{as_data_frame} is
\code{TRUE} (the default).
