The command "parquet-tools column-index" is used to retrieve the metadata information for the columns in a Parquet file.

The "${path-to-parquet}" is a placeholder representing the actual file path of the Parquet file you want to inspect. You need to replace "${path-to-parquet}" with the actual file path.

When you execute the command "parquet-tools column-index ${path-to-parquet}", it will display the column metadata information for each column in the Parquet file. The metadata includes details like the column name, column type, and other relevant information.

By using this command, you can gain insights into the structure and schema of the Parquet file, which can be useful for analysis and data processing purposes.
