Convert Parquet to TXT

Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format optimized for use with big data processing frameworks. It offers efficient data compression and encoding schemes, which leads to significant storage savings and improved read performance.

Parquet is designed to support complex nested data structures and enables efficient querying and manipulation of specific columns without reading the entire dataset.

Compression

Parquet supports various compression algorithms such as Snappy, Gzip, and LZO. These compression techniques help in reducing the storage space and improving the performance of data processing tasks.

TXT (Text) is a simple, plain text file format that contains unformatted text.

Key features of TXT files include:

• Universal compatibility across all operating systems and devices
• Lightweight and easy to create, edit, and read
• No formatting or styling, just pure text content
• Can be opened and edited with any text editor

TXT files are commonly used for:

• Simple note-taking and quick memos
• Creating readme files for software projects
• Storing configuration information
• Exchanging raw data between different systems

While TXT files lack advanced formatting options, their simplicity makes them ideal for situations where plain text is sufficient and file size needs to be minimal.
