xndai opened a new pull request, #17609: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17609
null_value_count was documented as only used for optional fields, but a required field nested within an optional struct is null whenever an ancestor value is null. Add definition of nullability by the full path from root, scope the required-field contract to a present enclosing struct, and require readers to rely on null_value_count == 0 rather than the required flag. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
