########## content/en/docs/Overview/_index.md: ########## @@ -6,4 +6,7 @@ description: > All about Parquet. --- -Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format available to any project in the Hadoop ecosystem, regardless of the choice of data processing framework, data model or programming language. +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. Review Comment: I think mentioning implementation (both as end-user software and as libs) is valuable but shouldn't be part of the elevator pitch. Other formats usually solve this by a dedicated sub-section or page, e.g.: - https://jpeg.org/jpegxl/software.html (the list format is good, the fact that there's only a single implementation is not) - https://paseto.io/ - https://autocrypt.org/dev-status.html This would also allow multiple implementations for a single language, which sometimes can be valuable (e.g. if you have a backwards compatible, conservative variant and a fancy new one). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
