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.

Parquet is a storage format; graphQL is a query language/transmission strategy.

@djnattyp
exactly. and parquet is optimized for parallel processing, making it ideal for big data frameworks because data gets distributed to the nodes. no need for parquet as long as you can calculate on a local machine. and for the ones who are complaining about csv. most data that make it into a parquet file comes from... csv files ๐Ÿ˜Š
