Data Organization

Data is organized in a time-based directory structure:

/csv/year=2025/month=05/day=14/hour=HH/adsb_data.csv.gz
/parquet/year=2025/month=05/day=14/hour=HH/adsb_data.parquet
/json/year=2025/month=05/day=14/hour=HH/adsb_data.json.gz
/csv/year=2025/month=03/day=01/hour=HH/adsb_data.csv.gz

Where HH represents hours 00-23 for complete 24-hour coverage.
