title: How to Query parquet data from Amazon Athena?
body: <p>Athena creates a temporary table using fields in S3 table. I have done this using JSON data. Could you help me on how to create table using parquet data?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Converted sample JSON data to parquet data.</li>
  <li>Uploaded parquet data to S3.</li>
  <li>Created temporary table using columns of JSON data.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>By doing this I am able to a execute query but the result is empty.</p>
  
  <p>Is this approach right or is there any other approach to be followed on parquet data?</p>
  
  <p>Sample json data:</p>
