Parquet is a binary columnar storage format that groups a few hundred thousand rows into row groups, stores each field physically together as Parquet columnar format, and uses dictionary encoding to shrink repeated values. The claim is concrete: real-world telemetry (logs, traces, metrics) in the uploader’s use cases compresses by about 90% and retains queryable structure, so high-cardinality metric fields become efficiently stored columns rather than exploding storage.
