Fokko opened a new issue, #46469: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46469
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. Consider the following path: ``` In [1]: import pyarrow as pa ...: import uuid ...: ...: schema = pa.schema( ...: [ ...: pa.field("uuid", pa.uuid(), nullable=False), ...: ] ...: ) ...: ...: arr_table = pa.Table.from_pydict( ...: { ...: "uuid": [ ...: uuid.UUID("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000").bytes, ...: uuid.UUID("11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111").bytes, ...: ], ...: }, ...: schema=schema, ...: ) ...: ...: import pyarrow.parquet as pq ...: ...: with pq.ParquetWriter("/tmp/some-parquet-with-uuid.parquet", schema=schema) as writer: ...: writer.write(arr_table) ...: ``` ```sh > parq /tmp/some-parquet-with-uuid.parquet -s # Schema <pyarrow._parquet.ParquetSchema object at 0x105cd0480> required group field_id=-1 schema { required fixed_len_byte_array(16) field_id=-1 uuid; } ``` Example one that has been created by Iceberg (Java): ``` parq /var/folders/h0/wqtwn1ks0m3bksc8n7mp4_lr0000gp/T/hive12405183144450566152/table/data/uuid_bucket=7/00000-1-daaf21e3-fbee-4954-88d8-ea0371f62a6a-0-00001.parquet -s # Schema <pyarrow._parquet.ParquetSchema object at 0x1058ce840> required group field_id=-1 table { required fixed_len_byte_array(16) field_id=1 uuid (UUID); } ``` The `(UUID)` indicates the logical type annotation many readers rely on. ### Component(s) Parquet -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
