§ What you get

Everything Parquet exposes, modeled and queryable.

Reads structured, columnar data from local Parquet files and streams it as tabular records with an auto-inferred schema. Supports common data types (integers, doubles, strings, booleans, and timestamps) and can flatten nested fields. This enables analysis of data lake extracts, exported warehouse tables, logs, and other datasets stored in Parquet format without relying on an external API.
