The fastest, most compressed columnar format for big data | v0.1.0
KORE is a high-performance binary file format optimized for analytical workloads. It provides:

38% compression ratio (vs 63% for Parquet)
131x query speedup with column pruning & predicate pushdown
Zero data loss verification (400K+ cells tested)
Native Spark integration — read/write with PySpark

Quick Start
Rust Library
Add this crate as a dependency (when published) or include from path:
use kore_fileformat::*;

// Write data
kore_write_simple("output.kore", schema_json, data_json)?;

// Read data
let data = kore_read_simple("output.kore")?;

// Read specific column
let col = kore_read_col_simple("output.kore", "column_name")?;

// Get file info
let info = kore_info_simple("output.kore")?;
PySpark Integration ⭐ NEW
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from kore import KoreDataFrameReader, KoreDataFrameWriter

spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("KoreExample").getOrCreate()

# Read Kore file
df = KoreDataFrameReader(spark).load("data.kore")

# Write to Kore (38% compression!)
KoreDataFrameWriter(df).mode("overwrite").save("output.kore")

# Spark SQL support (3.5+)
spark.read.format("kore").load("file.kore").show()
See python/README.md for full PySpark documentation.
Publishing checklist

Ensure Cargo.toml metadata is correct (authors, repository, keywords).
Add LICENSE file if required (MIT by default here).
Replace any unimplemented!() stubs with full implementations if you need runtime functionality.
Run cargo build --release and cargo test to verify compilation and tests.
Optionally add CI configuration (GitHub Actions) for cargo test and cargo clippy.

Notes
This workspace contains copies of the original KORE source files. Some long implementations were stubbed out in this initial export; if you want the full original source code included verbatim, I can replace the stubs with the complete implementations from the upstream project files.

Kore is presented as a high-performance binary file format specifically engineered to optimize analytical workloads for big data processing. The core advantages of the Kore format are centered on superior data compression and enhanced query efficiency. It achieves a 38 percent compression ratio when compared to formats like Parquet, offering significant space savings. Furthermore, the format is designed to accelerate data retrieval by enabling query speedups of up to 131 times through techniques such as column pruning and predicate pushdown. Data integrity is ensured through zero data loss verification, which has been tested across over four hundred thousand cells.

The architecture of Kore strongly emphasizes integration with the big data ecosystem. A key feature is its native integration with Apache Spark, allowing for direct reading and writing of Kore files using PySpark, which supports Spark SQL functionality starting from version 3.5. This native support means that data stored in the Kore format can be seamlessly utilized within the Spark environment.

The format provides a structured programming interface, exemplified by a Rust library that allows users to perform fundamental operations on Kore files, such as writing simple data, reading data, extracting specific columns, and retrieving file metadata. This indicates that Kore is designed not only for storage efficiency but also for efficient manipulation at the file format level.

The project also facilitates broader system integration through dedicated Python interfaces, specifically including KoreDataFrameReader and KoreDataFrameWriter, which enable the efficient transfer of dataframes into and out of the Kore system within Spark applications. The development process involves careful consideration of compilation, testing, and deployment, as indicated by the presence of detailed build reports, various test results, and Dockerfile configurations, demonstrating a commitment to providing robust and deployable solutions for this specialized data format. The repository structure suggests a comprehensive approach to format development, encompassing source code, testing protocols, and operational deployment guides.
