alamb opened a new issue, #77: URL: https://github.com/apache/parquet-testing/issues/77
- https://github.com/apache/parquet-testing/pull/76 adds example variant binary values Variant is a binary format similar to JSON but allows more types in its value fields. However, at the time of writing, I could not figure out how to create nested structures other than via JSON, which limits the type of the fields. I tried Apache spark, but to no avail. Thus, we have values such as the following (valid JSON): ```json { "field1" : 123.455 } ``` However, there are no example values for data like this (where the field's value is a signed 8 bit integer): ```json { "field1" : 123u8, } ``` This ticket tracks adding example values for Variants for nested data that is not JSON encodeable (e.g. with timestamp and other types of fields) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
