I wrote up a long overdue draft <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qGDnOyoNyPvcN4FCRhbZGAvp0SfewlWo-WVsai5IKUo/edit?tab=t.0> [1] on how we can move forward with additional features (it provides some proposed requirements on both consuming third-party code, as well as some more specific guidance on new encodings, and some orthogonal work that would be nice to see).
The doc still lacks some details, and might be too opinionated in places but I think it serves as a good basis for conversation (and at least gets me out of the critical path for evolving Parquet). I'm very excited to start moving forward with improvements. Thanks, Micah [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qGDnOyoNyPvcN4FCRhbZGAvp0SfewlWo-WVsai5IKUo/edit?tab=t.0
