Takuya Ueshin commented on SPARK-3037:
--------------------------------------

I agree with it. It was completely the same as what I wanted.

> Add ArrayType containing null value support to Parquet.

>                 Key: SPARK-3037
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3037
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>            Reporter: Takuya Ueshin
>            Priority: Blocker
>
> Parquet support should handle {{ArrayType}} when {{containsNull}} is {{true}}.
> When {{containsNull}} is {{true}}, the schema should be as follows:
> {noformat}
> message root {
>   optional group a (LIST) {
>     repeated group bag {
>       optional int32 array_element;
>     }
>   }
> }
> {noformat}
> FYI:
> Hive's Parquet writer *always* uses this schema, and reader can read only 
> from this schema, i.e. current Parquet support of SparkSQL is not compatible 
> with Hive.
> NOTICE:
> If Hive compatiblity is top priority, we also have to use this schma 
> regardless of {{containsNull}}, which will break backward compatibility.
> But using this schema could affect performance.
