+## What is PyPaimon?
+
+[PyPaimon](https://github.com/apache/paimon-python) is the Python SDK of Apache Paimon. It provides a way
+for users to get data from Paimon tables with Python for data analysis, and write data back to Paimon tables.
+
+## Version Overview
+
+This version of PyPaimon supports following features:
+
+1. Connect to `Catalog`.
+2. Get or create table.
+3. Batch read: Filter and projection pushdown, and reading data as Apache Arrow, Pandas, DuckDB and Ray format.
+4. Batch write: Insert into or overwrite table with Apache Arrow and Pandas data.
+
+The detailed document can found at https://paimon.apache.org/docs/master/program-api/python-api/.
+
+### Connect to Catalog
+
+You can create a `Catalog` with options just like in SQL:
+
+```python
+from pypaimon import CatalogFactory
+
+# Note that keys and values are all string
+catalog_options = {
+    'warehouse': 'file:///path/to/warehouse'
+}
+catalog = CatalogFactory.create(catalog_options)
+```
+
+Currently, PyPaimon only support filesystem catalog and rest catalog. See [Catalog](https://github.com/apache/paimon-python).
+
+
+### Get or create table
+
+You can get a existed table from `Catalog` by its identifier:
+
+```python
+table = catalog.get_table('database_name.table_name')
+```
+
+You can also create a new table. The table field definitions are described by `pyarrow.Schema`, and you can set primary keys,
+partition keys, table options and comment.
+
+```python
+import pyarrow as pa
+from pypaimon import Schema
+
+# field definitions
+pa_schema = pa.schema([
+    ('dt', pa.string()),
+    ('hh', pa.string()),
+    ('pk', pa.int64()),
+    ('value', pa.string())
+])
+# table schema
+schema = Schema(
+    pa_schema=pa_schema, 
+    partition_keys=['dt', 'hh'],
+    primary_keys=['dt', 'hh', 'pk'],
+    options={'bucket': '2'},
+    comment='my test table'
+)
+
+# create table 
+catalog.create_table(identifier='default.test_table', schema=schema, ignore_if_exists=False)
+```
+
+Then you can get table read and write interfaces from table.
+
+## Batch Write
+
+Assume that you already hava the table `default.test_table` described in the previous section. Let's see how to write or overwrite it.
+
+First, assume that you have a dataframe data of 2025-09-02, 12 o'clock, and you want to write it into the table.
+
+```python
+write_builder = table.new_batch_write_builder()
+table_write = write_builder.new_write()
+table_commit = write_builder.new_commit()
+
+# you can write data many times before committing
+dataframe = ...
+table_write.write_pandas(dataframe)
+
+commit_messages = table_write.prepare_commit()
+table_commit.commit(commit_messages)
+
+table_write.close()
+table_commit.close()
+```
+Let's see how to overwrite the partition 'dt=2025-09-02,hh=12' with new data.
+```python
+write_builder = table.new_batch_write_builder()
+# set partition to overwrite
+write_builder = write_builder.overwrite({'dt': '2025-09-02', 'hh': '12'})
+
+table_write = write_builder.new_write()
+table_commit = write_builder.new_commit()
+
+# then write data
+dataframe = ...
+table_write.write_pandas(dataframe)
+
+commit_messages = table_write.prepare_commit()
+table_commit.commit(commit_messages)
+
+table_write.close()
+table_commit.close()
+```
+
+### Various data formats
+
+PyPaimon supports reading data in following formats: Pandas, Apache Arrow and DuckDB, and writing data in following
+formats: Pandas, Apache Arrow. Please refer to the [document](https://paimon.apache.org/docs/master/program-api/python-api/) for details.
+
+## Batch read
+
+Assume that you already hava the table `default.test_table` described in the previous section. Let's see how to read data from it.
+
+```python
+from pypaimon.py4j import Catalog
+
+catalog_options = {
+  'warehouse': 'path/to/warehouse',
+  'metastore': 'filesystem',
+}
+catalog = Catalog.create(catalog_options)
+table = catalog.get_table('default.test_table')
+
+# use ReadBuilder to perform filter and projection pushdown
+read_builder = table.new_read_builder()
+
+# select partition: dt='2025-09-02',hh='12'
+predicate_builder = read_builder.new_predicate_builder()
+dt_predicate = predicate_builder.equal('dt', '2025-09-02')
+dt_hh = predicate_builder.equal('hh', '12')
+partition_predicate = predicate_builder.and_([dt_predicate, dt_hh])
+read_builder = read_builder.with_filter(partition_predicate)
+
+# select pk and value
+read_builder = read_builder.with_projection(['pk', 'value'])
+
+# plan splits
+table_scan = read_builder.new_scan()
+splits = table_scan.splits()
+
+# read data to pandas.DataFrame
+df = table_read.to_pandas(splits)
+```
+
+Then you can do some analysis on the dataframe with Python.
