Herringbone is deprecated and is no longer being actively maintained.
Herringbone is a suite of tools for working with parquet files on hdfs, and with impala and hive.
The available commands are:
flatten: transform a directory of parquet files with a nested structure into a directory of parquet files with a flat schema that can be loaded into impala or hive (neither of which support nested schemas). Default output directory is /path/to/input/directory-flat.
$ herringbone flatten -i /path/to/input/directory [-o /path/to/non/default/output/directory]
load: load a directory of parquet files (which must have a flat schema) into impala or hive (defaulting to impala). Use the --nocompute-stats option for faster loading into impala (but probably slower querying later on!)
$ herringbone load [--hive] [-u] [--nocompute-stats] -d db_name -t table -p /path/to/parquet/directory
tsv: transform a directory of parquet files into a directory of tsv files (which you can concat properly later with hadoop fs -getmerge /path/to/tsvs). Default output directory is /path/to/input/directory-tsv.
$ herringbone tsv -i /path/to/input/directory [-o /path/to/non/default/output/directory]
compact: transform a directory of parquet files into a directory of fewer larger parquet files. Default output directory is /path/to/input/directory-compact.
$ herringbone compact -i /path/to/input/directory [-o /path/to/non/default/output/directory]
See herringbone COMMAND --help for more information on a specific command.
