The command "parquet-tools head ${path-to-parquet}" is used to display the first few rows (head) of a Parquet file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "parquet-tools" refers to a command-line tool that is used to work with Parquet files.
- "head" is a command within the parquet-tools tool that prints the first few rows of a Parquet file.
- "${path-to-parquet}" is a placeholder indicating the path to the Parquet file you want to view. This will be replaced with the actual file path when running the command.
By executing this command, the parquet-tools utility will read the Parquet file specified by "${path-to-parquet}" and display the contents of the first few rows in a tabular format, allowing you to quickly inspect the data structure and values stored within the file.
