Hello! Is there any work being done to support the Apache Parquet file
format?
The two data processing tools that I use locally with parquet are:
* python pandas [1] [2] for programmatic access
* visidata [3] (CLI that uses pandas under the hood) for more
"interactive" access
I'm wondering why Parquet is not yet a supported format in LibreOffice
Calc (and most desktop worksheet processing tools for that matter).
On an unrelated note, I was also surprised to find out that Tableau only
supports Parquet through a database server like Apache Drill [4][5].
I feel that parquet files are under-rated, and that perhaps pushing for
native desktop application support would encourage its usage over the
standard (and less efficient) CSV file format. I may be completely wrong
and would welcome feedback.
