Julien Le Dem updated PARQUET-323:
----------------------------------
Description:
As discussed in the mailing list, {{INT96}} is only used to represent nanosec
timestamp in Impala for some historical reasons, and should be deprecated.
Since nanosec precision is rarely a real requirement, one possible and simple
solution would be replacing {{INT96}} with {{INT64 (TIMESTAMP_MILLIS)}} or
{{INT64 (TIMESTAMP_MICROS)}}.
Several projects (Impala, Hive, Spark, ...) support INT96.
We need a clear spec of the replacement and the path to deprecation.
