I was a little surprised to read this. Q: Where can I learn more about current parquet support for Decimal / BigDecimal? To be clear, I have not followed this for some time but ... I thought that there was support for fixed point decimal with an INT64 base type and an implied decimal position as a property ... for up to 18 digits precision. If Decimal is being stored as fixed-length binary, for the Java implementation I wonder what mechanism is being used to serialize the BigDecimal ... since java.math.BigDecimal does not expose a path for byte serialization ... except through java.math.BigInteger Michael
