This allows writing an Arrow NullArray to Parquet. Support was added a few years ago in Parquet, and the C++ implementation supports writing null arrays. The array is stored as an int32 which has all values set as null. In order to implement this, we introduce a `null -> int32` cast, which creates a null int32 of same length. Semantically, the write is the same as writing an int32 that's all null, but we create a null writer to preserve the data type. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
