Parquet Parser
Overview
You can use this Snap to read the binary (Parquet) data from the input and write the document data to the output.

Parse-type Snap
Works in Ultra Tasks
Prerequisites
None.
Snap views
View | Description | Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps |
---|---|---|
Input | Requires binary (Parquet) input to convert it into the document. | |
Output | Writes the document data as output. Note: The second output view provides the
schema model of the parquet
file. |
|
Error |
Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

Snap settings
- Expression icon (
): Allows using pipeline parameters to set field values dynamically (if enabled). SnapLogic Expressions are not supported. If disabled, you can provide a static value.
- SnapGPT (
): Generates SnapLogic Expressions based on natural language using SnapGPT. Learn more.
- Suggestion icon (
): Populates a list of values dynamically based on your Snap configuration. You can select only one attribute at a time using the icon. Type into the field if it supports a comma-separated list of values.
- Upload
: Uploads files. Learn more.
Field / Field set | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Label | String |
Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline. Default value: Parquet Parser Example: Transform Parquet Parser |
Ignore empty data | Checkbox |
When you select this checkbox, the Snap does not generate any output. If you deselect this checkbox, the Snap generates an empty output document when you pass either an empty input stream or an input stream with CSV headers. Default status: Selected |
Snap execution | Dropdown list |
Choose one of the three modes in
which the Snap executes. Available options are:
Default value: Validate and Execute Example: Execute only |
