Getting Data Into and Out of Deephaven#

The Deephaven system uses the Arrow Flight RPC to move data into and out of tables. Clients that want to read or write data will obtain Arrow FlightStreamReader or FlightStreamWriter, as appropriate, and read or write their to that object.

Tables are created and populated using Arrow Flight’s DoPut functionality. DoPut is powerful and flexible, but it may be daunting for first-time users. To help users get started, we we provide a helper class called TableMaker. This class provides a simpler interface for creating small tables. Likewise, we provide a method for streaming a table to a std::ostream.
