how to preview a parquet file? #316

Open fMagVen opened 2 years ago

The documentation is a little confusing and not giving a clear hint on how I could possibly do this.

@fMagVen There are many open and closed issues in this repo related to the alpha parquet data files support.

I am currently working on a new Tabular data viewer extension with the latest version of Perspective viewer that will come with a robust parquet data loading, including compressed parquet files, and new query/filter options.

Currently that extension supports only raw CSV data loading on a smaller scale: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RandomFractalsInc.tabular-data-viewer

Until then you can try other vscode extensions to view parquet files. Just search vscode marketplace.

i saw these but i thought it was unrelated to what i was trying to do well, good luck with your new project, it would be very beneficial to people who work with these file formats a lot well besides this one there is one other extension for parquet and it also didnt work here

@fMagVen & others asking for this feature: Agreed. Better parquet data support in vscode IDE is much needed.

Unfortunately, I have to juggle that priority with my quarterly contracts and other open dataViz vscode extensions updates I published to keep afloat and pay my monthly bills.

So, it's taking longer than usual. Appreciate the ping and your understanding on this!
