parqeye lets you peek inside your Parquet files. Instantly inspect their contents, schema, and metadata — right from your terminal.
Parquet is a column-oriented data storage format in the Apache Hadoop ecosystem inspired by Google Dremel interactive ad-hoc query system for analysis of read-only nested data.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Interactive Data Visualization – Browse through your Parquet data in a table view with keyboard navigation.
- Schema Explorer – Inspect column types, nested structures, and field definitions.
- File Metadata – View Parquet file-level metadata including version, created by, encoding stats and more.
- Row Group Statistics – Examine row group-level metadata, statistics, and data distribution across groups.
- Tab-based Interface – Quickly switch between Visualize, Schema, Metadata, and Row Groups views.
- Terminal-native – Works directly in your terminal.
