As of deephaven/deephaven-core#5078, the following code
from deephaven import parquet
x = parquet.read("my-file.parquet")
x_coalesced = x.coalesce()
no longer renders x in the UI - it just spins. x is of type io.deephaven.engine.table.impl.SimpleSourceTable, which is an uncoalesced table (with a single / implicit partition?).
