history

Project history and usage

parquet-tools is a Go command-line utility for inspecting and manipulating Apache Parquet files.

Project history

The public repository was created in 2021. Its README describes a utility to inspect Parquet files and documents a growing command set for reading, importing, merging, splitting, transcoding, and reporting metadata from Parquet data.

Adoption history

The project packages a Parquet inspection workflow for users who want a single static-style CLI instead of a JVM-oriented toolchain. Its README documents releases, Homebrew installation, container images, and prebuilt deb and RPM packages.

How it is used

Practitioners use parquet-tools to print schemas, row counts, metadata, and records; import CSV, JSON, or JSONL into Parquet; merge or split files; and transcode compression or encoding. The README also documents access to local files and remote storage such as S3, GCS, Azure storage, HDFS, and HTTP endpoints.

Why package nerds care

For package users, go-parquet-tools is significant because Parquet debugging is common in data pipelines, and a small CLI with packaged binaries lowers the cost of checking column encodings, row groups, encryption metadata, and file layout during development or incident response.

Timeline

  • 2021: Public GitHub repository created.
  • 2024: v1.x releases available for the Go CLI.
  • 2026: v1.52.0 release published.

Related projects

  • Apache Parquet is the columnar storage format the tool inspects and rewrites. Homebrew distributes the command as go-parquet-tools while the executable is named parquet-tools.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for go-parquet-tools. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Build metadata lists 1 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
