Open a parquet file locally

Question

Hi team,

I create a VPC flow log with destination S3, file format =  parquet

it generates files like this :

`76451945824541_vpcflowlogs_region_fl-08fsf0225fa03sf9874_20220607T8000Z_9f45sfsff.log.gz`

I tried to unzip it via 7-Zip I had a message: cannot open the file, is not archive

is there a way to open this parquet file and explore it in windows without passing by Athena?

Thank you

Here's one you can download and run locally:
https://github.com/mukunku/ParquetViewer

And here's one you can just run in your browser:
https://www.parquet-viewer.com/

I'm sure there's others, but these are two I've had luck with.

Hi I recommend Tad [https://www.tadviewer.com/], you can easily generate .csv and sort the contents of the file.
