Wes McKinney updated ARROW-8657:
--------------------------------
Summary: [Python][C++][Parquet] Forward compatibility issue from 0.16 to
0.17 when using version='2.0' (was: Distinguish parquet version 2 logical type
vs DataPageV2)
> [Python][C++][Parquet] Forward compatibility issue from 0.16 to 0.17 when
> using version='2.0'
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-8657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8657
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++, Python
> Affects Versions: 0.17.0
> Reporter: Pierre Belzile
> Priority: Major
>
> With the recent release of 0.17, the ParquetVersion is used to define the
> logical type interpretation of fields and the selection of the DataPage
> format.
> As a result all parquet files that were created with ParquetVersion::V2 to
> get features such as unsigned int32s, timestamps with nanosecond resolution,
> etc are now unreadable. That's TBs of data in my case.
> Those two concerns should be separated. Given that that DataPageV2 pages were
> not written prior to 0.17 and in order to allow reading existing files, the
> existing version property should continue to operate as in 0.16 and inform
> the logical type mapping.
> Some consideration should be given to issue a release 0.17.1.
