Hello dear Parquet developers, I am using your file format and enjoy it a lot ! One feature I find missing is allowing a 'column.mappings' option in the SERDEPROPERTIES clause similar to org.openx.data.jsonserde.JsonSerDe. I think this is a very desirable feature among many Analysts/Developers that work with Hive or AWS Athena where some restrictions on column names apply.
Regards, Michael
