Does anyone know if it's possible to copy parquet files from local ?
I tried this but got syntax errors
COPY sometable FROM LOCAL 'someparquetfile' PARQUET;
Thanks
Dave

    No, you can not use COPY LOCAL with the PARQUET parser. But you can use ON NODE...

    Thanks for your reply
    That's a pity as I have no access to the production database servers.
    Customer is moving away from Hadoop and hasn't got AWS or Google storage either so I can't create locations there for the parquet files.
    Seems odd that clients can't load parquet, I hope it gets added

    You can load Parquet files from HDFS!
