Alenka Frim updated ARROW-18001:
--------------------------------
Description:
This question came up in the GitHub issue:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14025] .
h6. Description:
If a user wants to change a type of one single column when using to_parquet in
pandas (or dask) they currently need to specify the schema with all columns
included. If a column is not specified in the schema, it will not be included
in the parquet file.
h6. Proposal
There should be a possibility for {{parquet.ParquetWriter}} excepting a subset
of columns in a Schema and infer everything else.

This question came up in the GitHub issue:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14025] and it would be a good
improvement to the Parquet part of PyArrow. Haven't found any existing issue
and so created a new one.

If a user wants to change a type of one single column when using
{{{}parquet.write_table{}}}/{{{}parquet.ParquetWriter{}}} they currently need
to specify the schema with all columns included. If a column is not specified
in the schema, it will not be included in the parquet file.
h6. Proposal
There should be a possibility for {{parquet.ParquetWriter}} excepting a subset
