# Rationale As described on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2470, Parquet's role in the analytics ecosystem is substantial. However, https://parquet.apache.org/ currently emphasis Parquet's role in the Hadoop ecosystem. I think this causes confusion in several ways: 1. It implies that parquet is only focused on Hadoop, when I think it is a critical technology across other ecosystems that are unrelated to hadoop (e.g. Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, etc) 2. It may further the perception that the Apache Parquet project only focuses on / cares about Hadoop / Java implementation # Chanages Update the home page content to mirror the Apache Project Description https://projects.apache.org/project.html?parquet (which does not mention Hadoop specifically) > 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. Parquet is available in multiple languages including Java, C++, and Python. ## Before this PR  ## After the PR  -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
