Hi Is there widening primitive conversion support in parquet dictionary?
I could see only same type methods are implemented in dictionary https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/master/parquet-column/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/column/values/dictionary/PlainValuesDictionary.java I came across a case where long data needs to be read as double. PlainLongDictionary is being created for same. This dictionary has only implementation for 'decodeToLong'. Can we have 'decodeToDouble' implentation as well here? (as long to double is widening primitive conversion). Same scenarios can be replicated for other supported(widening primitive conversion) types. Thanks, Swapnil
