### Describe the enhancement requested Hi, Excellent package! I've just noticed that when using parquetize::table_to_parquet factors are not transformed into strings, but instead they're turned into numeric vectors (using the underlying factor coding). So for example if you have a labelled factor in Stata and you turn it into a parquet file using table_to_parquet, you lose the underlying value labels. Obviously one could load the Stata file into R and then turn it into parquet (and or change all factors to strings in R), but that means loading the original file into R memory first. If table_to_parquet could automatically turn all factors into strings it would save a huge amount of time...Thank you! ### Component(s) R -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
