@pratyakshsharma Do you have a use-case of deleting fields ? What is the reason for supporting deleting fields. Has deleting fields case been tested for all types of cases such as upserts ? Generally, the parquet-avro reader will throw an exception right now when a smaller schema (schema for which a field has been deleted) is used to read a parquet file written with a larger schema. Have you tested this scenario ? If not, I suggest we revert this particular change and think of a more holistic way to support deletion of fields from schema. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
