Convert Parquet to TXT

Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format that works great with big data processing frameworks. It compresses and encodes data efficiently, which saves a lot of storage space and makes reading data faster.

Parquet can handle complex nested data structures. It lets you query and work with specific columns without having to read the entire dataset.

Compression

Parquet supports several compression algorithms like Snappy, Gzip, and LZO. These compression techniques help reduce storage space and speed up data processing tasks.

TXT (Text) files are simple. They just contain plain text without any formatting.

TXT files have some handy features:

• They work on all operating systems and devices
• They are small and easy to create, change, and read
• There is no formatting, just text
• Any text editor can open and edit them

People often use TXT files for:

• Quick notes and memos
• Making readme files for software projects
• Storing settings information
• Sharing raw data between different systems

TXT files do not have fancy formatting options. But their simplicity makes them perfect when you just need plain text and want to keep file size small.
