The reason to prefer "extension types" over "third-party types" or "external types" is that at some point some of them might get standardized inside Parquet, like [Arrow does](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CanonicalExtensions.html). Though we could also dictate a policy that standardizing an extension type is done by creating a new logical type. @wgtmac -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
