Ryan Blue commented on PARQUET-227: ----------------------------------- Should we define a type annotation for unions? That way Avro, Thrift, and Hive unions could be compatible. That would also be a good opportunity to standardize behavior, so if a union has multiple non-null values we have predictable behavior for interpreting the data across object models. Obviously, this wouldn't block your work here. > Parquet thrift can write unions that have 0 or more than 1 set value > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PARQUET-227 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-227 > Project: Parquet > Issue Type: Bug > Components: parquet-mr > Reporter: Alex Levenson > Assignee: Alex Levenson > > Having 0 or more than 1 set values means the data will be unreadable in the > read path, this should not be allowed in the write path. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
