Parquet for Process Mining
Kontakt
Parquet is a modern columnar storage for memorizing tabular data. It works well with event data (when no meta-attributes or necessity to validate the schema), albeit it assumes to load the entire event log in memory.
Advantages:
- Smaller memory footprint (thanks to efficient compression techniques available for columnar data)
- Smaller size on disk
- Significantly lower loading time
- Fast preprocessing
- Possibility to split the dataset over different criteria
It is particularly suited for handling bigger amount of data and distributed computations. Our team has expertise in data extraction, preprocessing and analysis from the Parquet format.
