Thank you for the note, Ryan. Based on my experience on Apache Impala, I was under the impression that a git commit signified at least a temporary agreement that the commit should make it into a future release. I understand you to be saying that in parquet-format, a vote on format additions is standard, whether or not a commit made it into HEAD. There have been previous discussions of Bloom filters in the pull requests, on this list, and in live videochat meetups (from quite a while ago). In your opinion, should we start a new discussion, or start a [VOTE] thread with pointers to the old discussions, or some third option?
