             Summary: Add support in CQLSH for COPY FROM / TO in compact 
Parquet format
                 Key: CASSANDRA-17831
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17831
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Brad Schoening


CQL supports only CSV as a format for import and export. A binary big data 
format such as Avro and/or Parquet would be more compact and highly portable to 
other platforms.

Parquet does not require a schema, so it appears the easier format to support.

The existing syntax supports adding key value pair options, such as FORMAT = 
PARQUET

{{     COPY table_name ... FROM 'file_name'[, 'file2_name', ...] }}

                     {{{}{}}}{{{}[WITH option = 'value' [AND ...]]{}}}

{{{}{}}}Side by side comparisons of CSV and Parquet show a 80% plus saving in 
disk space.
