Adds a recommendation to use
.parquet
for the file extension, as discussed in #211From what I could tell the core parquet specification does not require a specific file extension, so it didn't seem good to require it.
I did not include 'justification' in the text, like a line about how it's not required by the core specification but that some readers may expect it. I figure we can just refer to the discussion of the issue if people want to understand.
I also stopped short of including the
.geo.parquet
recommendation from @hobu. I started to write it, but then didn't find any specific recommendation in https://copc.io/, so it seemed maybe a little overspecified? Happy to add it, but was also thinking we could just mention it in a blog post and put up some examples of it. Could also have validators issue a 'warning' and recommend it when people use .geoparquet.It does feel like the spec could use a bit of reorganization, and it's probably time for a table of contents at the top. I just put this at the very bottom, which does feel quite buried, but the other option was to stick it at the very top. I figured I'd get this in (and maybe #115) and then try a PR that just re-organizes.
Closes #211
