   Perhaps 
https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2022/10/08/arrow-parquet-encoding-part-2/ might 
clarify this.
   
   Nullability at the StructArray level refers to whether that level in the 
hierarchy can have nulls, it says nothing about whether lower levels in the 
hierarchy can be null.
   
   For example, a nullable StructArray would allow
   
   ```
   [{"foo": null}, {"foo": null}, {}]
   ```
   
   But not
   
   ```
   [null, {"foo": 1}]
   ```
