-# Apache Parquet Benchmarking
+# Parquet benchmark data
+
+This repository contains Parquet benchmark data. Such data is useful to help
+optimize Parquet implementations but also advance the Parquet format itself.
+
+At this point the community requests donation of Parquet footers and especially
+footers that are large and slow to parse/process. Typically these are footers 
of
+wide schemata: either coming from lots of individual columns and/or deeply 
nested
+structs.
+
+To donate Parquet footers we have built a binary `parquet-dump-footer` as part
+of parquet tools. This utility extracts footers from parquet, scrubs binary 
data
+for privacy reasons and allows to pretty print (`--debug`) the result for
+inspection before submission.
+
+When you are ready to donate a footer please open a PR against this repository
+and add your footer under `footer/<name>.footer`.
+
+Use `parquet-dump-footer --help` for explantion of all the options.
+
+## alternate parquet-dump-footer binary
+
+You can use binaries in this repo for different architectures. The binaries 
are built
+from parquet-cpp using the following cmake configuration.
