I just tried [Parquet.jl](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/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](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/Parquet.jl), I would be super interested in integrating it with the [IterableTables.jl](https://github.com/davidanthoff/IterableTables.jl) and [Query.jl](https://github.com/davidanthoff/Query.jl) stack in the same way I recently did for some other file formats, e.g. see [ANN File IO for tabular data](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-file-io-for-tabular-data/4712). I’m tracking this [here](https://github.com/davidanthoff/IterableTables.jl/issues/49) and [here](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/Parquet.jl/issues/3).
