RE: Command line tool to quickly inspect Parquet files

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Hi, your contribution was rejected because I found out this this already exists, so I thought maybe your project is a little bit redundant. The only difference currently seems to be the --tail command. Since I don't know anything about Parquet I asked others about it and they agreed it wasn't unique enough to be accepted - if you continue working on this project please highlight reasons why it's unique in future contributions.

Also, have you ever heard of Click? It's made by Armin Ronacher, the same guy who made Flask, and it's amazing! I'd definitely recommend using that over argparse when creating a CLI.

Fair enough. A colleague sent me that link after I released this tool. I understand where you are coming from.
I think it's more of a convenience thing, I don't think anyone using Python data stack would be up to install & build big java source code so that he/she could check some file contents.
