Could you build this?
Partial Visualizing file headers and row groups is doable, but accurately parsing arbitrary Apache Parquet binary specifications, Thrift metadata, and page layouts byte-by-byte in a web UI requires deep binary protocol knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires compiling or binding low-level Parquet libraries (like Apache Arrow/Parquet in Rust compiled to WebAssembly) or writing a specialized Thrift/Parquet byte-offset parser to expose chunk offsets, dictionary pages, and compression metadata to a web visualization frontend like React/D3.
