ASF GitHub Bot commented on PARQUET-2347: ----------------------------------------- amousavigourabi commented on PR #1141: URL: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/1141#issuecomment-1761739906 > @amousavigourabi we have added so many public methods to keep the backward compatibility. So which one is preferred (I think it should be the`ParquetConfiguration`)? Should we deprecate the old one? the `ParquetConfiguration` methods are indeed preferred. I would be in favour of deprecating the Hadoop `Configuration` methods. However, I do think deprecating these methods might warrant a separate discussion on the mailing list (as their deprecation and subsequent removal would go further than what we have previously discussed, it would be a step in the direction of eliminating the need for `hadoop-client-api` altogether instead of just `hadoop-client-runtime`) and does not necessarily need to be a part of this PR. > Add interface layer between Parquet and Hadoop Configuration > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PARQUET-2347 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2347 > Project: Parquet > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: parquet-mr > Reporter: Atour Mousavi Gourabi > Priority: Minor > > Parquet relies heavily on a few Hadoop classes, such as its Configuration > class, which is used throughout Parquet's reading and writing logic. If we > include our own interface for this, this could potentially allow users to use > Parquet's readers and writers without the Hadoop dependency later on. > In order to preserve backward compatibility and avoid breaking downstream > projects, the constructors and methods using Hadoop's constructor should be > preserved for the time being, though I would favour deprecation in the near > future. > This is part of an effort that has been [discussed on the dev mailing > list|https://lists.apache.org/thread/4wl0l3d9dkpx4w69jx3rwnjk034dtqr8]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
