This sentence does not even have a precise meaning. Data is plural, there is no "representative" dataset. If someone tells you that the average animal on Earth is 2 millimeters long, is that "representative" of the characteristics of mammals? In the end, the question is whether a new encoding brings enough benefits in *some* cases to justify including it in Parquet. You may care primarily about Databricks customers, but some people don't. This is not a Databricks project. Regards Antoine.
