jorgecarleitao opened a new pull request #170: URL: https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/pull/170
This PR adds a new page with a detailed description of the RLE-bipacked hybrid encoder. I had to implement this recently from scratch and found the current documentation a bit cryptic. As such, decided to spend some time to do a write up of how the encoder works in detail, which hopefully helps at reducing the barrier to implement this non-trivial encoding strategy. I only described the decoding part. The encoding can be done in a follow-up PR. The todo below will be fulfilled if there is consensus that this is useful. ### Jira - [ ] My PR addresses the following [Parquet Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET/) issues and references them in the PR title.
