`read_parquet` depends on the table metadata being available in a file named `_common_metadata` or `_metadata` in the dataset folder. If that is not available, then it assumes that each of...

The JSON protocol appears somewhat simpler to me. Happy to help along with whatever I can!

I'm not sure if there are enough Julia users out there who are using Thrift. It would be better to improve the implementation and iron out issues with usage before...

Sorry, noticed this perhaps a bit late. Sure, it will definitely be useful. Please feel free to put up a PR with more docstrings!
