Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-17464:
----------------------------------------
[~anjakefala] Should we first have the corresponding logical type standardized
in the Parquet spec? Inventing our own conventions will not make these files
very portable.
> [C++] Support float16 in writing/reading parquet
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-17464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17464
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Parquet, Python
> Reporter: Anja Boskovic
> Assignee: Anja Boskovic
> Priority: Major
> Labels: parquet
>
> Half-float values are not supported in Parquet. Here is a previous issue that
> talks about that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1647
> So, this will not work:
> {code:java}
> import pyarrow as pa
> import pyarrow.parquet as pq
> import numpy as np
> arr = pa.array(np.float16([0.1, 2.2, 3]))
> table = pa.table({'a': arr})
> pq.write_table(table, "test_halffloat.parquet") {code}
> {{This is a proposal to store float16 values in Parquet as FixedSizeBinary,
> and then restore them to float16 when reading them back in.}}
