The field ID is reserved, but it should never be written to a metadata file. We need to reserve an ID for it because it is present in metadata tables. We don't want to have conflicting IDs when reading these files. I think all we need to communicate is that no one should write any field with ID 141, which is why we noted it was reserved here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
