Druid Parquet Extension

This module extends Druid Hadoop based indexing to ingest data directly from offline Apache Parquet files.

Note: druid-parquet-extensions depends on the druid-avro-extensions module, so be sure to include both.

Parquet Hadoop Parser

This extension provides two ways to parse Parquet files:

parquet - using a simple conversion contained within this extension
parquet-avro - conversion to avro records with the parquet-avro library and using the druid-avro-extensions module to parse the avro data

Selection of conversion method is controlled by parser type, and the correct hadoop input format must also be set in the ioConfig, org.apache.druid.data.input.parquet.DruidParquetInputFormat for parquet and org.apache.druid.data.input.parquet.DruidParquetAvroInputFormat for parquet-avro.

Both parse options support auto field discovery and flattening if provided with a flattenSpec with parquet or avro as the format. Parquet nested list and map logical types should operate correctly with json path expressions for all supported types. parquet-avro sets a hadoop job property parquet.avro.add-list-element-records to false (which normally defaults to true), in order to 'unwrap' primitive list elements into multi-value dimensions.

The parquet parser supports int96 Parquet values, while parquet-avro does not. There may also be some subtle differences in the behavior of json path expression evaluation of flattenSpec.

We suggest using parquet over parquet-avro to allow ingesting data beyond the schema constraints of Avro conversion. However, parquet-avro was the original basis for this extension, and as such it is a bit more mature.

Field	Type	Description	Required
type	String	Choose `parquet` or `parquet-avro` to determine how Parquet files are parsed	yes
parseSpec	JSON Object	Specifies the timestamp and dimensions of the data, and optionally, a flatten spec. Valid parseSpec formats are `timeAndDims`, `parquet`, `avro` (if used with avro conversion).	yes
binaryAsString	Boolean	Specifies if the bytes parquet column which is not logically marked as a string or enum type should be converted to strings anyway.	no(default == false)

When the time dimension is a DateType column, a format should not be supplied. When the format is UTF8 (String), either auto or a explicitly defined format is required.
