Hi everyone, Last year, I contributed a new Parquet command-line tool in PR #384. The new CLI is easier to interpret than the current parquet-tools and supports conversion from JSON, CSV, and Avro. I'd really like to get a version of it released, but it is still waiting because it's a really big patch.
The initial plan was to add it as a module of parquet-mr, but with the review stalled, I'm wondering if it may be easier to get it in by making it a separate Parquet repository with separate releases. Then we could get it released more quickly. What does everyone think about a separate repo and release? Any other ideas to get this tool out to Parquet users? rb -- Ryan Blue Software Engineer Netflix
