CC2P (Convert CSV To Parquet) is a high-performance command-line tool written in Rust that efficiently converts CSV files to the Apache Parquet format. Parquet is a columnar storage file format that offers efficient data compression and encoding schemes, making it ideal for big data processing.

Why Use CC2P?

• Performance: Leverages Rust's speed and multi-threading for fast conversions
• Memory Efficiency: Processes files with minimal memory footprint
• Flexibility: Supports various CSV formats with different delimiters and header options
• Schema Inference: Automatically detects column types from your data
• Batch Processing: Convert multiple CSV files in a single command

Features

• Columnar Storage: Parquet's columnar format provides better compression and faster query performance compared to row-based formats like CSV
• Efficient Compression: Uses Snappy compression for a good balance between compression ratio and speed
• Schema Handling: Automatically infers data types and handles duplicate column names
• Parallel Processing: Multi-threaded conversion using Tokio runtime
• Progress Tracking: Real-time progress indication with indicatif progress bars
