Show HN: Parqeye – A CLI tool to visualize and inspect Parquet files

23•kaushiksrini•2h ago

I built a Rust-based CLI/terminal UI for inspecting Parquet files—data, metadata, and row-group-level structure—right from the terminal. If someone sent me a Parquet file, I used to open DuckDB or Polars just to see what was inside. Now I can do it with one command.

thank you so much! this was an annoyance of mine for so long. edit: any chance you make a brew package? if you'd like I'd be happy to PR it in.

yep! it’s available as a homebrew tap — you can install it with: `brew install kaushiksrini/parqeye/parqeye`

wonderous.

It’s crazy how long we’ve gone without a tool like this. This is huge. Thank you for finally building this!

Apart from some visual glitches, this is an INSTANT BUY !

Note: must the Windows binary really be 78MB ?

Can DuckDB be included in the tool, so you can run queries directly from the UI? [that would avoid opening DBeaver whenever you need that kind of feature]
