> Hi, can we perhaps find another term than "extension" for this feature? The reason is that we may also want to add support for extension types to Parquet (where "extension types" fits naturally with the corresponding feature in Apache Arrow), which might breed confusion when talking about "Parquet extensions". https://lists.apache.org/thread/lcrjoymddllxf8wvq33ddm5fd0tk9mh7 > > (but perhaps I'm being overly cautious here, what do you think?) It would be beneficial to avoid confusion. I can't think of a great name for it though. If we name them "experiments" it will make them look risky and can reduce adoption when we use them for migration. "plugins" - I don't like it either. Got any suggestions? For the extensions in the discussion, I do not have a lot of context: what's the advantage of such extensions vs adding the logical types to the spec? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
