Looking under the hood of the parquet format

Understanding how the parquet format works helps with understanding why it can help you retreive your data fast, or perhaps why you struggle to get the desired performance out of your design.
Understanding how this format works helps with understanding why it can help you retreive your data fast, or perhaps why you struggle to get the desired performance out of your design.
And since the formats significantly overlap in architecture, this session can help you with design choices also if you're not using parquet but are using the SQL Server based columnstore type instead.
This is a bit of a deeper dive into the inner workings. But it's not merely aimed at satisfying the geek inside us. The goal of this session is to provide you with practical guidance through knowing well enough how it works internally.
