> I've always been frustrated with the state of the columnar format spec, as I found the confusion between concepts there quite frustrating (for example, it uses the term "logical type" throughout, even though that term doesn't appear elsewhere). > > That said, I don't think this PR makes things less confusion, on the contrary. The issue about "logical type" and substituting it with just "type" was meant to be done in a separate PR. This PR should add a list of all types and their respective layout. Maybe the "glossary" part should be removed for now and we should focus on making the table of types clear. I agree and share the frustration but am sure we will improve, one step at the time ;) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
