I just tried Parquet.jl on julia 0.6 on Windows and it didn’t seem to work, I get some build errors at install time.
If someone manages to fix standalone Parquet.jl, I would be super interested in integrating it with the IterableTables.jl and Query.jl stack in the same way I recently did for some other file formats, e.g. see ANN File IO for tabular data. I’m tracking this here and here.
