Ryan Blue commented on PARQUET-686: ----------------------------------- We shouldn't close this yet because we're working on adding sort order to the format. See the new link to Format PR #46. > Allow for Unsigned Statistics in Binary Type > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: PARQUET-686 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-686 > Project: Parquet > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Andrew Duffy > > BinaryStatistics currently only have a min/max, which are compared as signed > {{byte[]}}. However, for real UTF8-friendly lexicographic comparison, e.g. > for string columns, we would want to calculate the BinaryStatistics based off > of a comparator that treats the bytes as unsigned. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
