Doesn't support object fields in Parquet #273

Open mboyanna opened 3 months ago

mboyanna commented 3 months ago

When parquet contains fields that are structs (objects) with just a few values, or even a collection like a list or set underneath, it the browser should be able to show it.

I would love to see something like this, supporting nested and hierarchical data structures in Parquet, but also lists and JSON in CSV and other plaintext formats.

This is something that DuckDB should help make possible. Even if it requires the user to opt-in to this for each column you're doing this on, it would be a huge help for those of us dealing with folks throwing JSON into CSVs.
