Does Vertica support parquet files???

Hi,

    It does support parquet files. Using the HCatalog Connector Interface you can read all file formats supported by Hadoop. It is supported in 7.1.2 vertica version. For more information go through the following URL

Hi Sruthi,

            Thanks for the reply. I am trying to read a parquet file and convert them to dataframes using spark and then load that dataframes into vertica database as of the link below 

http://www.sparkexpert.com/2015/04/17/save-apache-spark-dataframe-to-database/

As per this link i tried parquet file loading to mysql & it worked fine.

But when i tried to load the same parquet file into vertica i am facing below exception
