Hello
I d'found useful to be able to import/export from postgres to those modern data
formats:
- avro (c writer=https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/api/c/index. )html
- parquet (c++ writer=https://github.com/apache/parquet-cpp )
- orc (all writers=https://github.com/apache/orc )
Something like :
COPY table TO STDOUT ORC;
Would be lovely.
This would greatly enhance how postgres integrates in big-data ecosystem.
It would be written "... with (format 'orc')" and your best bet would be to create an extension. I don't think that having such code in core (or contrib) is desirable.
