What’s your take on parquet?

I’m still reading into it. Why is it closely related to apache? Does inly apache push it? Meaning, if apache drops it, there’d be no interest from others to push it further?

It’s published under apache hadoop license. It is a permissive license. Is there a drawback to the license?

Do you use it? When?

I assume for sharing small data, csv is sufficient. Also, I assume csv is more accessible than parquet.

    Friends don’t let friends use csv in 2024. Excel needs a good parquet importer and exporter today. Ya hearing Microsoft? Quit pissing around with recall and build something useful!

        Excel mostly, csv wasn’t much of a standard and thus it’s horrible to work with. We can fix that with a parquet importer and exporter!
