All, SAS requires support for storing varying-length character and binary blobs with a 2^64 max length in Parquet. Currently, the ByteArray len field is a unint32_t. Looks this the will require incrementing the Parquet file format version and changing ByteArray len to uint64_t.
Have there been any requests for this or other Parquet developments that require file format versioning changes? I realize this a non-trivial ask. Thanks for considering it. -Brian
