 For a quick view of your output, you can read Apache Parquet with pandas, and then use h3-pandas and geopandas to convert this into a GeoPackage for visualisation in a desktop GIS, such as QGIS. The Apache Parquet output is indexed by the DGGS column, so it should be ready for association with other data prepared in the same DGGS.
