Inspired by the discussion in #1059, I've written some code to export the fixed fields of a VCF file (including INFO fields) to a collection of Parquet files. The idea is that you can run filtering-style queries on this variant metadata, and use that to subset/mask the variants in a Zarr dataset. I explored this a bit in https://github.com/pystatgen/sgkit/issues/634#issuecomment-1523285115.
This is not to be merged, just posting for interest.
