Hi community, Per the Parquet specification requirements, two reference implementations are needed to finalize the Variant logical type. Both Java and Go implementations now support variant encoding and shredding.
Java already has the encoding and shredding implementations in place: apache/parquet-java#3197 <https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/3197> apache/parquet-java#3202 <https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/3202> apache/parquet-java#3223 <https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/issues/3223> apache/parquet-java#3211 <https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/issues/3211> Go also includes encoding and shredding support: apache/arrow-go#344 <https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/pull/344> apache/arrow-go#434 <https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/pull/434> I propose that we remove the "under development" notes from the documentation and move forward with finalizing the specification (PR #509 <https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/pull/509>). This vote will be open for at least 72 hours. [ ] +1 Finalize Varint and Shredding Spec [ ] +0 [ ] -1 Do not release this because...
