parquet-metadata is a Python-based command-line tool, version 0.0.1, designed to display metadata about a Parquet file. It provides insights into the file's structure, columns, row groups, and basic statistics. The project appears to be unmaintained since its last release in 2018, making it primarily a historical reference rather than a actively developed library for programmatic use.

The `parquet-metadata` package is intended for command-line use. This quickstart demonstrates how to invoke the `parquet-metadata` CLI tool from Python using `subprocess` to inspect a Parquet file's metadata. It first creates a dummy Parquet file for testing purposes.
Consider using actively maintained libraries like `parquet-pages` (for programmatic metadata access), `parquet-tools`, or `parq-cli` for up-to-date Parquet file analysis. E.g., `pip install parquet-pages`.
If programmatic access to Parquet metadata is required, use libraries explicitly designed for this purpose, such as `parquet-pages` which exposes Thrift structs for detailed metadata inspection. If you need to run the CLI tool, use `subprocess.run()` as shown in the quickstart.
