Can I Change the Compression Method for Parquet Files in Fivetran?

Question

Can I change the Parquet compression method that Fivetran uses when writing data to my destination?

Environment

All destinations

File format: Parquet

Answer

We don’t offer the ability to change the compression method used for Parquet files. All connectors and destinations use a standardized approach, with Zstandard (ZSTD) as the default compression codec, selected for its performance, decompression speed, and storage efficiency.
