Hi Antoine,
  Thanks for the feedback - I definitely agree. In rebuilding the website,
I kept the content/taglines from the initial version, just to preserve
parity. This tagline is something that certainly can and should be updated.

I actually personally like this description of parquet Databricks' glossary:

> Apache Parquet is an open source, column-oriented data file format
> designed for efficient data storage and retrieval. It provides efficient
> data compression and encoding schemes with enhanced performance to handle
> complex data in bulk.


What are your thoughts on migrating to this?

Thanks,
