Better support for nested data structures in Parquet format
Better support for nested data structures in Parquet format #40485 (Arthur Passos).
Why it matters
This feature enhances ClickHouse's ability to correctly read and write nested data types (such as arrays, tuples, and nested structs) in Parquet files, addressing limitations in handling complex hierarchical data. It enables users to seamlessly integrate and process nested Parquet data more accurately and efficiently.How to use it
Use the improved Parquet format support transparently when importing or exporting data involving nested structures. No special configuration is required; simply read or write Parquet files containing nested data using standard ClickHouse commands likeSELECT or INSERT INTO with the Parquet format.
