# File source

## Description

File data sources are files on disk or on S3.
Currently only Parquet and Delta formats are supported.

## Example

parquet_file_source = FileSource(
    file_format=ParquetFormat(),
    path="file:///feast/customer.parquet",
)
```

## Supported Types

File data sources support all eight primitive types and their corresponding array types.
