Parquet file is a columnar format file that helps to

  • Limit the I/O operations
  • Consumes less space
  • Fetches only required columns
Hope this helps.

Parquet is a columnar format supported by many data processing systems. The benifits of having a columnar storage are -

1- Columnar storage limits IO operations.

2- Columnar storage can fetch specific columns that you need to access.

3-Columnar storage consumes less space.

4- Columnar storage gives better-summarized data and follows type-specific encoding.
