Extension of Apache parquet files, is it '.pqt' or '.parquet'?

I wonder if there is a consensus regarding the extension of parquet files. I have seen a shorter .pqt extension, which has typical 3-letters (like in csv, tsv, txt, etc) and then there is a rather long (therefore unconventional(?)) .parquet extension which is widely used.

Anybody knows what extension is "official", and if the use of .pqt (which I personally like) would be ok.

.parquet is the most commonly used extension. Three letter file extensions are a remnant of the days when file lengths were very restricted. It's quite common to see longer names nowadays (e.g. database.sqlite).
