The command parquet-tools schema ${path-to-parquet} is used to retrieve the schema of a Parquet file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • parquet-tools is the name of the Parquet command-line tool.
  • schema is the command used to obtain the schema of the Parquet file.
  • ${path-to-parquet} is a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the actual path to your Parquet file.

When you execute this command in a terminal or command prompt, it will read the Parquet file specified by ${path-to-parquet} and display the schema of the file. The schema will include information about the column names, data types, and other metadata associated with the Parquet file's data structure.
