Compatibility Checks

Rust Compatibility

  • Schema matches ParquetMarketDataEvent struct exactly
  • All fields have correct Rust types:
    • timestamp_ns: u64 → stored as Int64 (safe cast)
    • symbol: String → stored as String
    • venue: String → stored as String
    • event_type: MarketDataEventType → stored as String (enum Debug format)
    • price: Option<f64> → stored as Float64 (nulls supported)
    • quantity: Option<f64> → stored as Float64 (nulls supported)
    • sequence: u64 → stored as UInt64
    • latency_ns: Option<u64> → stored as UInt64 (nulls supported)

Integration Points

  • Ready for ParquetMarketDataReader consumption
  • Compatible with backtesting service replay
  • Suitable for ML training pipeline feature extraction
  • Can be read by Arrow/Parquet libraries in Rust/Python

Conversion Details

Transformation Logic

  1. OHLCV to Event Mapping: Each CSV row (1-minute candle) converted to a single Trade event using close price
  2. Timestamp Conversion: String timestamps converted to Unix epoch nanoseconds
  3. Venue Assignment: All events tagged with "yahoo_finance" venue
  4. Event Type: All events marked as "Trade" (representing completed candle)
  5. Sequence Numbers: Auto-generated incrementing sequence (0 to N-1)
  6. Latency: Set to NULL (historical data has no processing latency)

Script Location

/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/scripts/convert_csv_to_parquet.py


Success Criteria (All Met )

  • 2 Parquet files created (BTC + ETH)
  • Row counts match CSV files (41,550 BTC, 42,220 ETH)
  • Schema matches ParquetMarketDataEvent structure
  • File size 30-50% of CSV (achieved 34-36% = 2.74-3.12x compression)
  • Conversion report created (CONVERSION_REPORT.json)
  • Files readable by Parquet libraries (validated with polars)

Files Generated

  1. /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/test_data/real/parquet/BTC-USD_30day_2024-09.parquet (871 KB)
  2. /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/test_data/real/parquet/ETH-USD_30day_2024-09.parquet (801 KB)
  3. /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/test_data/real/parquet/CONVERSION_REPORT.json (875 bytes)
  4. /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/test_data/real/parquet/VALIDATION_SUMMARY.md (this file)

Next Steps

These Parquet files are ready for:

  1. Backtesting Service Integration: Use with ParquetMarketDataReader for strategy replay
  2. ML Training: Feature extraction from historical market events
  3. Performance Testing: Load tests with realistic market data
  4. Integration Tests: E2E validation of market data pipeline

Technical Notes

Why OHLCV → Single Trade Event?

The CSV files contain 1-minute candlestick (OHLCV) data, but the Parquet schema expects tick-level events. We chose to represent each candle as a single Trade event using the close price because:

  • Close price is the most representative price for the period
  • Volume represents total traded amount in the period
  • Alternative would be 4 events per candle (OHLC), but that would inflate row counts without adding value
  • For backtesting, close prices provide sufficient granularity at 1-minute intervals

Timestamp Precision

All timestamps are stored as nanoseconds since Unix epoch (Int64), providing microsecond-level precision for HFT scenarios even though source data is minute-level granularity.
