Thanks @ggershinsky @gszadovszky for spending time on the discussion! If both of you think adding 'metadata' field is not a good idea, I will just use Configuration and see how it goes(majority wins :)). I understand which way is better is subjective because both solutions have pros and cons. I am fine with not adding the field now and we can revisit it when there are other needs that require Parquet schema to have a metadata property to better align with other schema's definition. @ggershinsky for the RPC call configuration, I didn't mean it is used in the case of my scenario. It could happen when building the CryptoPropertiesFactory implementation, they can call some service to get those configurations directly. What I was trying to point out is that there could be many ways to get the crypto settings and it should be the user's choice. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
