Hello Mich,Thanks for example. I have the same parquet-mr version which creates Parquet version 1. We need to create V2 as it is more optimized. We have Dremio where if we use Parquet V2 it is 75% better than Parquet V1 in case of read and 25 % better in case of write . so we are inclined towards this way. Please let us know why Spark is not going towards Parquet V2 ? Sent from my iPhone On Apr 16, 2024, at 1:04 PM, Mich Talebzadeh <mich.talebza...@gmail.com> wrote:
Well let us do a test in PySpark. Take this code and create a default parquet file. My spark is 3.4 cat parquet_checxk.py from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("ParquetVersionExample").getOrCreate()
data = "" 8974432), ("New York City", 8804348), ("Beijing", 21893000)] df = spark.createDataFrame(data, ["city", "population"])
df.write.mode("overwrite").parquet("parquet_example") # it create file in hdfs directory
Get the parquet files from hdfs to the current directory say hdfs dfs -get /user/hduser/parquet_example . cd ./parquet_example do an ls and pickup file 3 like below to inspect parquet-tools inspect part-00003-c33854c8-a8b6-4315-bf51-20198ce0ba62-c000.snappy.parquet
Now this is the output ############ file meta data ############ created_by: parquet-mr version 1.12.3 (build f8dced182c4c1fbdec6ccb3185537b5a01e6ed6b) num_columns: 2 num_rows: 1 num_row_groups: 1 format_version: 1.0 serialized_size: 563
############ Columns ############ name age
############ Column(name) ############ name: name path: name max_definition_level: 1 max_repetition_level: 0 physical_type: BYTE_ARRAY logical_type: String converted_type (legacy): UTF8 compression: SNAPPY (space_saved: -5%)
############ Column(age) ############ name: age path: age max_definition_level: 1 max_repetition_level: 0 physical_type: INT64 logical_type: None converted_type (legacy): NONE compression: SNAPPY (space_saved: -5%)
File Information: - format_version: 1.0: This line explicitly states that the format version of the Parquet file is 1.0, which corresponds to Parquet version 1.
- created_by: parquet-mr version 1.12.3: While this doesn't directly specify the format version, itt is accepted that older versions of parquet-mr like 1.12.3 typically write Parquet version 1 files.
Since in this case Spark 3.4 is capable of reading both versions (1 and 2), you don't necessarily need to modify your Spark code to access this file. However, if you want to create Parquet files in version 2 using Spark, you might need to consider additional changes like excluding parquet-mr or upgrading Parquet libraries and do a custom build.of Spark. However, taking klaws of diminishing returns, I would not advise that either.. You can ofcourse usse gzip for compression that may be more suitable for your needs.

Hello Community, Could any of you shed some light on below questions please ? Sent from my iPhone Any specific reason spark does not support or community doesn't want to go to Parquet V2 , which is more optimized and read and write is too much faster (form other component which I am using) Spark will read data written with v2 encodings just fine. You just don't need to worry about making Spark produce v2. And you should probably also not produce v2 encodings from other systems.
oops but so spark does not support parquet V2 atm ?, as We have a use case where we need parquet V2 as one of our components uses Parquet V2 .
Hi Prem,
Parquet v1 is the default because v2 has not been finalized and adopted by the community. I highly recommend not using v2 encodings at this time.

I am using spark 3.2.0 . but my spark package comes with parquet-mr 1.2.1 which writes in parquet version 1 not version version 2:(. so I was looking how to write in Parquet version2 ?
Sorry you have a point there. It was released in version 3.00. What version of spark are you using?
Thank you so much for the info! But do we have any release notes where it says spark2.4.0 onwards supports parquet version 2. I was under the impression Spark3.0 onwards it started supporting .
Well if I am correct, Parquet version 2 support was introduced in Spark version 2.4.0. Therefore, any version of Spark starting from 2.4.0 supports Parquet version 2. Assuming that you are using Spark version 2.4.0 or later, you should be able to take advantage of Parquet version 2 features.

Thank you for the information! I can use any version of parquet-mr to produce parquet file.
regarding 2nd question . Which version of spark is supporting parquet version 2? May I get the release notes where parquet versions are mentioned ?
Parquet-mr is a Java library that provides functionality for working with Parquet files with hadoop. It is therefore more geared towards working with Parquet files within the Hadoop ecosystem, particularly using MapReduce jobs. There is no definitive way to check exact compatible versions within the library itself. However, you can have a look at this

Hello Team, May I know how to check which version of parquet is supported by parquet-mr 1.2.1 ?
Which version of parquet-mr is supporting parquet version 2 (V2) ?
Which version of spark is supporting parquet version 2? May I get the release notes where parquet versions are mentioned ?
