@eric-maynard Typically if you're going to introduce new features/representations in a project like Parquet, there would be discussion and a vote to formally adopt. To my knowledge, that didn't happen even though some implementations have shown up in the wild. Using these encodings has caused problems because a lot of readers do not support them and it's hard to push other implementations to adopt when the legitimacy is in question. I'm a little hesitant to add support until there's some formal recognition of the encodings and the question of adoption is unclear. If we're adding this support because it's blocking, it might be worth adding, but if we're doing it opportunistically, we'd just be contributing to the confusion. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
