- Built using the Rust implementation of Parquet and Arrow
pqrsroughly means "parquet-tools in rust"

Manoj Karthick
Apache Parquet command-line utility
USAGE:
pqrs [FLAGS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-d, --debug Show debug output
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
SUBCOMMANDS:
cat Prints the contents of Parquet file(s)
head Prints the first n records of the Parquet file
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
merge Merge file(s) into another parquet file
rowcount Prints the count of rows in Parquet file(s)
sample Prints a random sample of records from the Parquet file
schema Prints the schema of Parquet file(s)
size Prints the size of Parquet file(s)Prints the contents of the given files and folders. Recursively traverses and prints all the files if the input is a directory.
Supports json-like, json or CSV format. Use --json for JSON output, --csv for CSV output with column names in the first row, and --csv-data-only for CSV output without the column names row.

Prints the first N records of the parquet file. Use --records flag to set the number of records.

{"continent":"Europe","country":{"name":"France","city":["Paris","Nice","Marseilles","Cannes"]}}
{"continent":"Europe","country":{"name":"Greece","city":["Athens","Piraeus","Hania","Heraklion","Rethymnon","Fira"]}}Merge two Parquet files by placing row groups (or blocks) from the two files one after the other.
Disclaimer: This does not combine the files to have optimized row groups, do not use it in production!
