Arrow.write(io::IO, tbl)
Arrow.write(file::String, tbl)
tbl |> Arrow.write(io_or_file)
Write any [Tables.jl](https://github.com/JuliaData/Tables.jl)-compatible `tbl` out as arrow formatted data.
Providing an `io::IO` argument will cause the data to be written to it
in the ["streaming" format](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-streaming-format), unless `file=true` keyword argument is passed.
Providing a `file::String` argument will result in the ["file" format](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format) being written.
Multiple record batches will be written based on the number of
`Tables.partitions(tbl)` that are provided; by default, this is just
one for a given table, but some table sources support automatic
partitioning. Note you can turn multiple table objects into partitions
by doing `Tables.partitioner([tbl1, tbl2, ...])`, but note that
each table must have the exact same `Tables.Schema`.
By default, `Arrow.write` will use multiple threads to write multiple
record batches simultaneously (e.g. if julia is started with `julia -t 8` or the `JULIA_NUM_THREADS` environment variable is set).
Supported keyword arguments to `Arrow.write` include:
* `colmetadata=nothing`: the metadata that should be written as the table's columns' `custom_metadata` fields; must either be `nothing` or an `AbstractDict` of `column_name::Symbol => column_metadata` where `column_metadata` is an iterable of `<:AbstractString` pairs.
* `compress`: possible values include `:lz4`, `:zstd`, or your own initialized `LZ4FrameCompressor` or `ZstdCompressor` objects; will cause all buffers in each record batch to use the respective compression encoding
* `alignment::Int=8`: specify the number of bytes to align buffers to when written in messages; strongly recommended to only use alignment values of 8 or 64 for modern memory cache line optimization
* `dictencode::Bool=false`: whether all columns should use dictionary encoding when being written; to dict encode specific columns, wrap the column/array in `Arrow.DictEncode(col)`
* `dictencodenested::Bool=false`: whether nested data type columns should also dict encode nested arrays/buffers; other language implementations [may not support this](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/status.html)
* `denseunions::Bool=true`: whether Julia `Vector{<:Union}` arrays should be written using the dense union layout; passing `false` will result in the sparse union layout
* `largelists::Bool=false`: causes list column types to be written with Int64 offset arrays; mainly for testing purposes; by default, Int64 offsets will be used only if needed
* `maxdepth::Int=$DEFAULT_MAX_DEPTH`: deepest allowed nested serialization level; this is provided by default to prevent accidental infinite recursion with mutually recursive data structures
* `metadata=Arrow.getmetadata(tbl)`: the metadata that should be written as the table's schema's `custom_metadata` field; must either be `nothing` or an iterable of `<:AbstractString` pairs.
* `ntasks::Int`: number of buffered threaded tasks to allow while writing input partitions out as arrow record batches; default is no limit; for unbuffered writing, pass `ntasks=0`
* `file::Bool=false`: if a an `io` argument is being written to, passing `file=true` will cause the arrow file format to be written instead of just IPC streaming

Arrow.Writer{T<:IO}
An object that can be used to incrementally write Arrow partitions
# Examples
```julia
julia> writer = open(Arrow.Writer, tempname())
julia> partition1 = (col1 = [1, 2], col2 = ["A", "B"])
(col1 = [1, 2], col2 = ["A", "B"])
julia> Arrow.write(writer, partition1)
julia> partition2 = (col1 = [3, 4], col2 = ["C", "D"])
(col1 = [3, 4], col2 = ["C", "D"])
julia> Arrow.write(writer, partition2)
julia> close(writer)
```
It's also possible to automatically close the Writer using a do-block:
```julia
julia> open(Arrow.Writer, tempname()) do writer
partition2 = (col1 = [1, 2], col2 = ["A", "B"])
Arrow.write(writer, partition1)
partition2 = (col1 = [3, 4], col2 = ["C", "D"])
Arrow.write(writer, partition1)
end
```
