Just as an example for de_sh on why brotli looks compelling:
Zipped GeoPackage: 72,3 MB Brotli GeoParquet: 57,8 MB ZSTD GeoParquet: 77,0 MB
Yeah, I agree Brotli looks pretty awesome for geo data. With the france eurocrops dataset it's like 3.0gig vs 3.45gigs for brotli vs zstd.
So unfortunately we're using brotli compression, which DuckDB doesn't support. Trying to open LFK-AKTI_EPSG25832.parquet from source cooperative or files I've converted seems to result in
Error: Invalid Error: Unsupported compression codec "BROTLI". Supported options are uncompressed, gzip, snappy or zstd
.I think zstd is generally recommend, see https://twitter.com/kylebarron2/status/1691483893461839872
