Will it be better to call it 'defaultMaxDefintionLevel' or 'parentMaxDefinitionLevel'? Also just curious, what is the example of a case where we need this default value? I tried to walk through one example and found the expected field is always in the actual struct. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
