I want to open a parquet file and view the contents of the table in Intellij. Is there a way to do this currently or with a plugin?
The answer for you is no, at least now.
But if the reason you want to view Parquet tables on Intellij is because you want to view Parquet file with GUI tool, I suggest you use tools Bigdata File Viewer.
It's a desktop application to view Parquet and also other binary format data like ORC and AVRO. It's pure Java application so that can be run at Linux, Mac and also Windows.
It supports complex data type like array, map, etc.
