+1 (Non binding) - Verified SHAs and signatures - Built and installed locally from source (I ran into issues with my local setup. Lesson learned: don't mix musl and GNU Snappy versions). - I tried to downstream the dependency into Apache Spark with success (Notice that it now requires some additional dependencies exclusions because Parquet 1.18.0 moved to junit 5 which conflicts with Spark's Junit Jupiter platform).
