scovich opened a new issue, #8435: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8435
**Describe the bug** Currently, variant code is quite willing to support non-variant types such as unsigned integers -- including on the read path for shredded variants in e.g. `VariantArray::value` (see the [typed_value_to_variant](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/main/parquet-variant-compute/src/variant_array.rs#L846-L857) helper function). I don't know if the shredding spec specifically rejects shredding as non-variant types, but there is a certain logic to the idea. And case 127 of [parquet-testing/shredded_variant](https://github.com/apache/parquet-testing/blob/master/shredded_variant/cases.json#L754-L757) specifically verifies that the reader rejects a `typed_value` column of (parquet) type `INTEGER(32, false)`. **To Reproduce** Found while making changes related to shredded struct support; running case 127 stopped erroring out with the "expected message ("received empty bytes") and started succeeding. **Expected behavior** The read should fail. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
