Ismaël Mejía commented on BEAM-7925:
------------------------------------
For reference it is a good idea for consistency/maintenance reasons to
deprecate and remove Beam's own withProjection BEAM-11908 of course we should
include in the documentation how to achieve the same functionality with the
Parquet APIs
> ParquetIO supports neither column projection nor filter predicate
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: BEAM-7925
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7925
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: io-java-parquet
> Affects Versions: 2.14.0
> Reporter: Neville Li
> Priority: P3
> Time Spent: 3h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Current {{ParquetIO}} supports neither column projection nor filter predicate
> which defeats the performance motivation of using Parquet in the first place.
> That's why we have our own implementation of
> [ParquetIO|https://github.com/spotify/scio/tree/master/scio-parquet/src] in
> Scio.
> Reading Parquet as Avro with column projection has some complications,
> namely, the resulting Avro records may be incomplete and will not survive
> ser/de. A workaround maybe provide a {{TypedRead}} interface that takes a
> {{Function<A, B>}} that maps invalid Avro {{A}} into user defined type {{B}}.
