[Feature] : Support for GeoParquet - Geospatial data in Apache Parquet

[scali]

What would you like to be added:

Apache Hop support reading and writing in Apache Parquet files.

A nice-to-have feature would be to be able to read/write geospatial fields in GeoParquet

Alternatives:

No alternative in Apache Hop, need to write the geospatial information using GDAL binaries

Has the feature been requested before?

No

If the feature request is approved, would you be willing to submit a PR?

No, because I don't have the skills to meet this demand.

Salut Sylvain,
Thank you very much for the good news!
A2, Stefan
P.S. What do you think about a QGIS plugin "Apache Hop Connector"? See apache/hop#5340

So this issue can be closed and the feature checked as implemented?

P.S. I am currently testing the performance of GeoParquet Reader. And I would very much like to report on this Hop GIS plugin at the Apache Hop User Meeting Vol. 5 on November 18, 2025. https://data.it-novum.com/termine/apache-hop-user-meetup/
