David Capwell commented on CASSANDRA-17831:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Parquet does not require a schema
Not looked in a few years, but I remember that it does require a schema. We
have a schema within this context, so shouldn't be hard to match our schema to
parquet schema.
> Add support in CQLSH for COPY FROM / TO in compact Parquet format

> Key: CASSANDRA-17831
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17831
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Brad Schoening
> Assignee: Brad Schoening
> Priority: Normal
>
> CQL supports only CSV as a format for import and export. A binary big data
> format such as Avro and/or Parquet would be more compact and highly portable
> to other platforms.
> Parquet does not require a schema, so it appears the easier format to support.
> The existing syntax supports adding key value pair options, such as FORMAT =
> PARQUET
> {{ COPY table_name ... FROM 'file_name'[, 'file2_name', ...] }}
> {{[WITH option = 'value' [AND ...]]}}
> Side by side comparisons of CSV and Parquet show a 80% plus saving in disk
> space.
