Read Parquet

Synopsis

This operator reads Apache Parquet files.

Description

Apache Parquet is a column-oriented data storage format of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. It enables efficient data storage as well as processing. While the parquet format, does allow for more complex structures like lists, maps and others, this operator does not support these as of now. That means, repetition count should not be higher than 1, only the first data item will be considered.

Input
