Petastorm
Petastorm library enables single machine or distributed training
...Petastorm supports popular Python-based machine learning (ML) frameworks such as Tensorflow, PyTorch, and PySpark. It can also be used from pure Python code. A dataset created using Petastorm is stored in Apache Parquet format. On top of a Parquet schema, petastorm also stores higher-level schema information that makes multidimensional arrays into a native part of a petastorm dataset. Petastorm supports extensible data codecs. These enable a user to use one of the standard data compressions (jpeg, png) or implement her own.
