> Parquet should support
> {{ALTER TABLE table_name \[PARTITION (partition_key = 'partition_value')\]
> CONCATENATE;}}
> If the table or partition contains many small Parquet files, then the above
> command will merge them into larger files. The merge should happen at row
> group level thereby avoiding the overhead of decompressing and decoding the
> data.
> It is only supported by RCFiles or ORCFiles now.
