Status: Triage Needed (was: Resolved)
> Support reading Parquet files with unknown schema
> -------------------------------------------------

> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Fix For: 2.28.0

> Data engineers encounter times when schema of Parquet file is unknown at the
> time of writing the pipeline or multiple schema may be present in different
> files. Reading Parquet files using ParquetIO requires providing an Avro
> (equivalent) schema, Many a times its not possible to know the schema of the
> Parquet files.
> On the other hand
> [AvroIO|https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/2.26.0/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/AvroIO.html]
> supports reading unknow schema files by providing a parse function :
> {{*#parseGenericRecords(SerializableFunction<GenericRecord,T>)*}}
> Supporting this functionality in ParquetIO is simple and requires minimal
> changes to the ParquetIO surface.
> {code}
> Pipeline p = ...;
> PCollection<String> filepatterns = p.apply(...);
> PCollection<Foo> records =
> filepatterns
> .apply(FileIO.matchAll())
> .apply(FileIO.readMatches())
> .apply(ParquetIO.parseGenericRecords(new
> SerializableFunction<GenericRecord, Foo>() {
> public Foo apply(GenericRecord record) {
> // If needed, access the schema of the record using
> record.getSchema()
> return ...;
> }
> }));
> {code}
