Hey all, I am happy to share the release of Hardwood 1.0!
It's a new Parquet reader (and soon, writer) for the JVM, built from the ground up to minimise external dependencies and with a strong focus on performance, multi-threaded at its core. It's open-source (Apache License, version 2) and available from Maven Central now. For folks interested, all the details are in the official announcement [1]. Any questions or feedback will be very welcome, either here or off-list. All the best, --Gunnar [1] https://www.morling.dev/blog/hardwood-1-0-fast-lightweight-apache-parquet-reader-for-the-jvm/
