parquet2arrow-rs

This is a command line tool to convert .parquet files to .arrow files.

Why?: It's simple, and fast.

On my computer, it converts a 500MB Parquet file with 14.6 million rows to an arrow file in around 2 seconds.

time ./target/release/parquet2arrow -i ~/Downloads/data.parquet -o ./out/example.arrow
Done, wrote 14656519 rows
