How do I view min/max index in parquet metadata?

Viewed 3173

I am trying to make use of parquet's min/max index. I'm following along with the question/answer here: Spark Parquet Statistics(min/max) integration

scala> val foo = spark.sql("select id, cast(id as string) text from range(1000)").sort("id") 

scala> foo.printSchema

root
 |-- id: long (nullable = false)
 |-- text: string (nullable = false)

when I look at an individual parquet file I don't see any min/max

I have tried .sortWithinPartitions("id") with the same results.

you want parquet-reader from https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/cpp

good luck compiling it

then you get a nice bit of metadata like this, with your min/max

parquet-reader  --only-metadata --json --columns=0,1,2 widey_event_visit_start_datetime_sorted.pq
