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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for go-parquet-tools.
