Convert ODS to Parquet

OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) is an open standard file format for spreadsheets. It's part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) family, developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). Many office suites support it, including LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice.

ODS files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. The format supports a wide range of features including formulas, styles, charts, and macros.

One of the main advantages of ODS is its open nature, which ensures long-term accessibility and interoperability. It uses a compressed XML format, making it both efficient in storage and easy to process programmatically.

Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format that works great with big data processing frameworks. It compresses and encodes data efficiently, which saves a lot of storage space and makes reading data faster.

Parquet can handle complex nested data structures. It lets you query and work with specific columns without having to read the entire dataset.

Compression

Parquet supports several compression algorithms like Snappy, Gzip, and LZO. These compression techniques help reduce storage space and speed up data processing tasks.
