- An Avro object container file holds records together with the JSON schema that describes them, in a compact binary encoding. It is common in Kafka and Hadoop pipelines.
- A Parquet file is a columnar data table: each column is stored on its own, compressed and typed, so analytics tools can read only the columns they need. It is the common exchange format of data lakes, Spark, pandas and DuckDB.
