Red Parquet - Apache Parquet Ruby

Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format.

GObject Introspection is a middleware for language bindings of C library. GObject Introspection can generate language bindings automatically at runtime.

Red Parquet uses Apache Parquet GLib and gobject-introspection gem to generate Ruby bindings of Apache Parquet.

Apache Parquet GLib is a C wrapper for Apache Parquet C++. GObject Introspection can't use Apache Parquet C++ directly. Apache Parquet GLib is a bridge between Apache Parquet C++ and GObject Introspection.
