How to use

Converting Parquet

parquet_to_csv converts parquet files to csv files. By default it prints to the standard output, but can be directed via pipe or -o flag to write to a file.

Usage: parquet_to_csv.py [OPTIONS] INPUT_FILE

Options:
  -o, --output-path FILE  [default: (standard output)]
  --header / --no-header
  --verbose BOOLEAN
  --help                  Show this message and exit.

Selecting columns, gzip-ing output

Following UNIX principle, you should be using xsv for selecting columns from the csv or do other transformations: just pipe the output to xsv and you're all set.

Similarly if you'd want the file to be compressed, pipe the result to gzip and direct to a local file ending in .csv.gz.
