Parquet files

I built a Rust-based CLI/terminal UI for inspecting Parquet files—data, metadata, and row-group-level structure—right from the terminal. If someone sent me a Parquet file, I used to open DuckDB or Polars just to see what was inside. Now I can do it with one command.

The author introduces Parqeye, a Rust-based CLI tool for inspecting Parquet files, simplifying data inspection from the terminal. The post receives a positive reception despite having no comments.
