Ryan Blue commented on PARQUET-686: ----------------------------------- The standard I found is ICU 54: http://userguide.icu-project.org/collation/api#TOC-Instantiating-the-Predefined-Collators I agree that we should support what SQL engines do, but I don't agree that they've necessarily chosen an appropriate or "correct" one. What they do is widely used enough to be a de-facto standard, but I don't think that should preclude supporting other standards. > 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)
