liborcus supports this (Apache Parquet) if built with Apache Arrow. And thus makes LibreOffice being able to handle it.
I didn't invest any time in Apache Arrow since I am already too low on time anyway and I deemed it too a "low popularity" thing anyway.
So this is a plea for anyone looking for something really helpful to do: it would be great to have a group of developers finally package this!
Indeed.
There was some initial work done (see the RFP bug report for details: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970021), but that is fairly old now. As Apache Arrow supports numerous languages, it may well benefit from having a group of developers with different areas of expertise to build it. (Or perhaps it would make more sense to split the upstream source into a collection of different Debian source packages for the different supported languages. I don't know.)
Would definitely make transitions easier.
Unfortunately I don't have the capacity to devote any time to it myself.
Dito. Regards, Rene
