Static plots with embedded VegaFusion + interactivity + parquet

[kszlim]

What is your suggestion?

It'd be extremely powerful to support creating static html plots that use VegaFusion (via wasm) to query/dynamically downsample/aggregate data that's stored in static parquet files that's shipped alongside the html file.

This would allow for fully static html files that are super scalable. Ie. if you zoom in, you can view full resolution data. This would be somewhat similar to what https://github.com/uwdata/mosaic allows for, but ideally can all be specified in python.

Have you considered any alternative solutions?

@kszlim just noticed you were the author of the issue I linked in vega/vega#3961

@jonmmease do you see anything actionable here, without the support added in https://github.com/vega/vega?

VegaFusion 2.0 does support full compilation to wasm, as in the editor demo here https://github.com/vega/vegafusion/tree/main/examples/editor-demo.

After taking a look at this, see if you have ideas on how you'd like to see this integrate with altair
