Using DuckDB with s3?

I'm trying to use DuckDB in a jupyter notebook to access and query some parquet files held in s3, but can't seem to get it to work. Judging on past experience, I feel like I need to assign the appropriate file system but I'm not sure how/where to do that.

The below code raises the error: RuntimeError: IO Error: No files found that match the pattern "s3://<bucket>/<file>.parquet"

import boto3
import duckdb

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
client=boto3.client("s3")
con = duckdb.connect(database=':memory:', read_only=False)

con.execute("""
SET s3_region='-----';
SET s3_access_key_id='-----';
SET s3_secret_access_key='-----';
""")
out = con.execute(f"select * from parquet_scan('s3://<bucket>/<file>.parquet') limit 10;").fetchall()

I'd like to use the pandas read_sql functionality if I can, but put this code to avoid adding complexity to the question.

I'm confused because this code works:

import pandas as pd
import boto3

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
client=boto3.client("s3")

df = pd.read_parquet("s3://<bucket>/<file>.parquet")
duckdb pandas amazon-s3 python

HTTPFS is not included in the package. However you can build it from source, see the snippet below

This assumes you have python3/pip3 installed on your linux machine or container. I'm using photon4 container, on other linux distros package names might be slightly different.

# install build dependencies
yum install build-essential cmake git openssl-devel python3-devel -y

# install python dependencies
pip3 install setuptools numpy

# clone repo with source code
git clone https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb && cd duckdb

# set a flag to build package with HTTPFS
export BUILD_HTTPFS=1
make

# once duckdb libs are built, do it again enabling python package
export BUILD_PYTHON=1
make

After that it should be available even without running pip install. If you building it in separate container, you can copy or replace this file: tools/pythonpkg/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.9/duckdb.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so to /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ on your target machine

Do this instead

con.execute("""
INSTALL httpfs;
LOAD httpfs;
SET s3_region='-----';
SET s3_access_key_id='-----';
SET s3_secret_access_key='-----';
""")
