  • 1.  Use of parquet files in Fast Data Mask

    Posted Sep 19, 2025 09:46 AM

    Hi community,

    I've read that Fast Data Mask support parquet files, but I didn't find any info in the TDM documentation.

    Is there someone that could explain benefits of using parquet files in FDM? how can we use them? why use them instead of csv files?

    thanks

    Hey @Stefano Figini Parquet files are a open source format which are usually generated by big data processing frameworks like Apache Spark. or similar. Unless you are working with those directly there would not be any need you would start using those instead CSV files.

    You would use Parquet files with FDM if you need to mask these files which would be generated by some type of big data processing source.

    Thanks,
