About PARQUET Files
Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format optimized for analytical workloads. Parquet provides efficient compression and encoding schemes, making it ideal for big data processing with Apache Spark, Hadoop, Presto, and cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift). It supports complex nested data structures and schema evolution.
