How do you load the Parquet files efficiently in Python?

Just wondering what the community thinks about this. Has anyone tried it yet?

The Hugging Face datasets library is definitely the easiest approach: ds = load_dataset('qurancn/Islamic-Culture'). It automatically handles the train/val/test splits and pagination. For streaming massive batches into PyTorch, using PyArrow directly on the parquet files is blazing fast.
