Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-739:
--------------------------------
I looked into the Parquet side and it looks like the decision to use
little-endian is based on not having to reorder the bytes to work with the
integers. Big-endian would be better for encoding, but only a little because
there are 3 numbers being stored and prefix encoding will stop working unless
the values are identical. This hasn't been released yet, so there's still a
chance to get it changed.
