ParquetFile Connection

Access level: read, write

Apache Parquet is a free and open-source column-oriented data storage format in the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. With the Jedox ParquetFile connection, you can connect to files with Parquet format. Once a connection has been established, data can be extracted and loaded.

PGP encryption and decryption are supported for file-based connections, such as ParquetQVX. PGP  must be configured in the Cloud Console for your Jedox environment. See Keys and Secrets for more information.

Type	The following file locations are supported: Connecting to a Jedox Files Location Connecting to a File System Location Connecting to an FTP Location Connecting to an HTTP location Connecting to an SFTP Location Connecting to a OneDrive Location Connecting to a WebDAV Location Connecting to a WebHDFS Location Connecting to an Azure (Blob Storage and Data Lake) Location Sharepoint
File / directory name	Path to the Parquet file or directory containing Parquet files. The syntax of the filename is location-specific.
Decryption method	Decryption method is only relevant when extracting data from an encrypted file. For PGP decryption, enter the passphrase that was set during key creation. The key will be a private / secret key. See Keys and Secrets for details. Directory connections will only work if the same passphrase can be used for all files (either the files use keys without passphrase, or the keys for the files have the same passphrase).
Encryption method	For PGP encryption, a public key ID is required; this can be obtained from the "name" column in the Keys & Secrets section of the Cloud Console.
