Inspect Parquet from command line

Question

How do I inspect the content of a Parquet file from the command line?

The only option I see now is

$ hadoop fs -get my-path local-file
$ parquet-tool         


        

Answer 1

On Windows 10 x64, try Parq:

choco install parq

This installs everything into the current directory. You will have to add this directory manually to the path, or run parq.exe from within this directory.

My other answer builds parquet-reader from source. This utility looks like it does much the same job.
