Apache Parquet
Apache Parquet is a columnar storage file format that provides efficient data compression and encoding schemes. It is optimized for use with complex nested data structures and is effective for queries that process large volumes of data and for table-like datasets.
Fixed Width/Fixed Length
A fixed width (or fixed length) file is a text data file in which each field in a record is allocated a specific number of characters, regardless of the actual content length. This consistent column width ensures that data aligns in columns across rows, making the file appear like a table when viewed in a plain text editor. If a field's content does not fill the entire width, it's padded with spaces or other placeholder characters. Fixed width files are often used in legacy systems, mainframes, and financial data processing systems.
