Apache Parquet

What do you like best?

I love the way it is created to store columnar data. The best thing i like most is that it is built to support very efficient compression and encoding schemes and can be used by anyone. And this is very much helpful in Big Data Analysis.

What do you dislike?

It was a bit hard to learn by myself but the Apache parquet site provides all the configurations in step by step procedures. So that was not a big issue with me. So honestly there is not much I dislike about it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would definitely recommend apache prequet to anyone if you are using columnar data processing in any project that you are working

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

In the hadoop project system that i have been i had to use compressed columnar data and there for the data processing frameworks Apache parquet helped me alot and made my work easier.
