Hi Etienne,

Thanks for your reporting.

There are indeed many problems. There is no doubt that we need to improve
our current format implementation.

But ParquetTableSource and ParquetInputFormat are legacy implementations
with legacy interfaces. We have introduced new interfaces for execution and
SQL. You can see:
- ParquetColumnarRowInputFormat with BulkFormat interface. It is just for
columnar row reading, not support complex types, we need
migrate ParquetInputFormat to the new BulkFormat interface.
- FileSystemTableSource with DynamicTableSource interface, It is a generic
FileSystem source for all formats, we can just use it for parquet too.

Considering ParquetTableSource and ParquetInputFormat are legacy
interfaces, I think we can finish migration work first, what do you think?

Best,
Jingsong
