Data Types Reference

Spice uses Apache Arrow data types internally, providing consistent type handling across different data sources and accelerators. This section documents how Arrow types map to specific accelerators and object store formats.

For SQL type casting and conversion, see Type Casting Operators.

📄️ Accelerator Data Types

Spice adheres to Apache Arrow data types. Data accelerators do not support all Arrow data types. The table below outlines the data type compatibility for each accelerator, and datatype used within the accelerator.

📄️ Object Store Data Types

Spice adheres to Apache Arrow data types. The table below lists the types of supported file type from object stores and their corresponding Apache Arrow type mappings in Spice.
