使用parquet-tools工具查看parquet文件

cdh默认安装了。我安装6.2下面对应的路径是/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/bin/parquet-tools

如果找不到使用以下命令查看一下具体位置

find / -name parquet-tools

直接运行

/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/bin/parquet-tools

• merge 看介绍应该是合并多个文件使用（我没有具体操作过）

parquet-tools merge:
Merges multiple Parquet files into one. The command doesn't merge row groups,
just places one after the other. When used to merge many small files, the
resulting file will still contain small row groups, which usually leads to bad
