parquet vs csv (lemmy.ml)

What's your take on parquet?

I'm still reading into it. Why is it closely related to apache? Does inly apache push it? Meaning, if apache drops it, there'd be no interest from others to push it further?

It's published under apache hadoop license. It is a permissive license. Is there a drawback to the license?

Do you use it? When?

I assume for sharing small data, csv is sufficient. Also, I assume csv is more accessible than parquet.

I can't address the first part, but for your last paragraph, if you're sharing with humans, csv is fine. If you're sharing with humans and machines, JSON or yaml or something similar is probably fine. If you're only moving things around to give to machines, what to use depends on constraints you might have and use cases
