Parquet and AVRO Format for AWS S3

Main advantages for customers:

  • Reduces IO operations.
  • Fetches specific columns that you need to access.
  • It consumes less space.
  • Support type-specific encoding.

Currently Syniti puts data in CSV. We've faced following issues because of this

  • extra columns in .mir file than ref. Reading data from text delimited files which do not support schema evolution becomes a tedious task.
  • Unrecognized characters in columns making parsing erroneous.
  • Adding of \r column in the column name itself because of text file creation and handling of such characters by different libraries.
Status: Future Consideration
