If you are in a controlled environment where it is safe to assume no hostile content can be uploaded to your cluster you can safely enable Parquet.
To enable Parquet set the environment variable `MINIO_API_SELECT_PARQUET=on`.

## Example using Python API

### 1. Prerequisites

- Install MinIO Server from [here](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#procedure).
- Familiarity with AWS S3 API.

	s2Type     CompressionType = "S2"
	snappyType CompressionType = "SNAPPY"
)

const (
	maxRecordSize = 1 << 20 // 1 MiB
)

var parquetSupport bool

func init() {
	parquetSupport = env.Get("MINIO_API_SELECT_PARQUET", config.EnableOff) == config.EnableOn
}

var bufPool = sync.Pool{
	New: func() interface{} {
		// make a buffer with a reasonable capacity.
		return bytes.NewBuffer(make([]byte, 0, maxRecordSize))
	},
}
