a promising fast alternative to fsspec https://developmentseed.org/obstore/latest/blog/2025/02/10/releasing-obstore-04/

Looks cool, but I guess this is more useful for the internals of e.g. pandas, polars,… because as an end-user you should not have to deal with this directly, no?

that’s a very good point 😄 could be useful for Kedro though !

For kedro datasets that don’t implement object store readers?

or for folks that want to swap fsspec with a more performant alternative in their datasets

That was my claim: with pandas, polars etc we really wouldn’t need to use fsspec directly. So it is an interesting project to be used in those libs but a user should never have to deal with it 😀
