Hello Parquet-Arrow Team, Wes, A short while ago, I submitted PR 4185 ( https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/4185) to implement in the C++ library the new logical annotations metadata available in the latest parquet.thrift spec (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1411). I stopped committing to that PR's branch about a week ago to allow the code to be reviewed without it being a moving target.
I've since (optimistically) starting blocking out new code for ARROW-3729 based on my open PR (switching Arrow to read/write the new Parquet annotations, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3729) and while doing that realized that usage of the annotations classes I created in the open PR might be smoother with the introduction of a few convenience methods. However, the most suitable names for these methods (IMO) were introduced for another purpose in the open PR and would need to be reclaimed -- overall a fairly minor, non-structural change to the PR code. I can either add another commit to the open PR to add these convenience methods and rename some things (which would be my preference, provided no one has invested too much time yet reviewing it -- maybe you have Wes?), or I can wait for the first round of reviews on that PR to see where things stand. How should I proceed? Thanks in advance, --Tim
