How to create a qvd from a csv without using qlik?

Hello everybody,

This is my first question in the community, nice to meet you everybody 🙂 

I have a spark scala job which produces csv files as output on monthly basis. My requirement is to produce qvd files automatically out of those csvs .

From what I understood, the only way to create qvd files, is to use either qlik desktop or qlik sense, import the csv in them, and export it as a qvd.

Since I am using a cluster where I cannot install qlik desktop, I would like to know if it exists any tool, api, or something similar that allows csv to qvd conversion without the direct use of qlik, in a way that I can add this last step to my pipeline and produce qvds in an automatic way without the need of opening qlik, load csvs and export qvds each time.

In case you were wondering that, I am asked to produce qvds because they are much faster to be imported in qlik than csvs.

If I missed any particular or I wasn't clear, do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for any help.

Antonio
