Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-739:
-----------------------------------
I'd expect many applications of durations to have similar forms, e.g.. all with
zero month and millisecond, just days. In such applications sometimes sorting
might be useful. With big-endian it could be. With little-endian it couldn't
be.
Was there a particular reason that Parquet chose little-endian for this? Is it
too late to change Parquet? Has this been released?
I don't view this as a fatal misfeature, but it is a misfeature, one we may be
stuck with, or one we may still be able to avoid.
