Description
Parquet was developed to provide the benefits of efficient, compressed columnar data representation to all projects within the Hadoop ecosystem. Designed with a focus on accommodating complex nested data structures, Parquet employs the record shredding and assembly technique outlined in the Dremel paper, which we consider to be a more effective strategy than merely flattening nested namespaces. This format supports highly efficient compression and encoding methods, and various projects have shown the significant performance improvements that arise from utilizing appropriate compression and encoding strategies for their datasets. Furthermore, Parquet enables the specification of compression schemes at the column level, ensuring its adaptability for future developments in encoding technologies. It is crafted to be accessible for any user, as the Hadoop ecosystem comprises a diverse range of data processing frameworks, and we aim to remain neutral in our support for these different initiatives. Ultimately, our goal is to empower users with a flexible and robust tool that enhances their data management capabilities across various applications.
Description
GNU Gzip is a widely used data compression tool that was originally developed by Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project, with the decompression component crafted by Mark Adler. This program emerged as an alternative to the older compress utility due to the restrictions imposed by Unisys and IBM patents on the LZW algorithm utilized by compress, which made its usage unfeasible. The improved compression efficiency offered by gzip serves as an additional benefit. You can find stable source releases on the primary GNU download server (available via HTTPS, HTTP, and FTP) and on various mirrors, with a recommendation to use a mirror whenever possible. Gzip compresses the specified files through the implementation of Lempel-Ziv coding (specifically LZ77). Typically, each file is transformed into one that carries the ‘.gz’ extension while preserving its original ownership modes, access rights, and modification timestamps. For certain operating systems, such as MSDOS, OS/2 FAT, and Atari, the default extension utilized is ‘z’. In cases where no files are provided, the program will compress data from the standard input and direct it to the standard output, ensuring versatile usage across different systems. This flexibility makes gzip an invaluable tool for efficient data management.
