Hello,
I'm pleased to announce the release of the Apache Parquet Format version
2.9.0.
Parquet is a general-purpose columnar file format for nested data. It
uses space-efficient encodings and a compressed and splittable structure
for processing frameworks like Hadoop.
Version 2.9.0 makes minor improvements and fixes to the Parquet format
specification. A significant improvement is the addition of the LZ4_RAW
compression algorithm which deprecates the unfortunately underspecified
LZ4 algorithm.
The full list of changes for this release is available below:
https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/apache-parquet-format-2.9.0/CHANGES.md
This release can be downloaded from: https://parquet.apache.org/downloads/
Thanks to everyone for contributing!
Regards,
Antoine Pitrou.
