Hey Cheng, As mentioned on the PR, there is not much evidence that anyone is using the parquet-scala module: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.parquet/parquet-scala. Scala 2.12 is EOL while there are still maintenance releases <https://endoflife.date/scala> being done, and I don't see much interest in Scala 2.13. I would be in favor of retiring the module since there haven't been any contributions <https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/commits/master/parquet-scala> in the last few major releases. This will also allow us to remove the Scala build, making the project quite a bit leaner.
Curious to learn what others think!
