clintropolis commented on issue #5787: Adding additional datatypes support for 
Parquet extension

   Hi @sathishsri88,
   
   I have a related PR open, #6360, which in addition to introducing an 
alternate way to parse parquet files (e.g. an alternative to converting to 
avro), adds support for the 
[FlattenSpec](http://druid.io/docs/latest/ingestion/flatten-json) that some 
indexing formats (including the avro extension itself) currently support. My PR 
was originally intended to resolve a different issue related to an inability of 
parquet-avro conversion to handle `INT96` columns, but I think the addition of 
`flattenSpec` that both the `parquet` and `parquet-avro` parsers of my PR 
support, may solve some or all of the problem this PR is trying to solve.
   
   That said, if there are some gaps in the `flattenSpec` based approach of my 
PR and the functionality introduced here, I believe our changes could be made 
to co-exist in some manner, we would just need to distinguish between my 
`parquet-avro` parse spec with it's `flattenSpec`, and this PR's with it's 
`parser`. What do you think?
