> For the record, we started
[documenting](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/source/cpp/parquet.rst#supported-parquet-features)
the features supported by parquet-cpp (which is part of the Arrow codebase).
I've opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11181 so we can do
the same for the Rust implementation

> Key: PARQUET-1950
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1950
> Project: Parquet
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parquet-format
> Reporter: Gabor Szadovszky
> Assignee: Gabor Szadovszky
> Priority: Major
>
> Parquet format is getting more and more features while the different
> implementations cannot keep the pace and left behind with some features
> implemented and some are not. In many cases it is also not clear if the
> related feature is mature enough to be used widely or more an experimental
> one.
> These are huge issues that makes hard ensure interoperability between the
> different implementations.
> The following idea came up in a
> [discussion|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rde5cba8443487bccd47593ddf5dfb39f69c729d260165cb936a1a289%40%3Cdev.parquet.apache.org%3E].
> Create a now document in the parquet-format repository that lists the "core
> features". This document is versioned by the parquet-format releases. This
> way a certain version of "core features" defines a level of compatibility
> between the different implementations. This version number can be written to
> a new field (e.g. complianceLevel) in the footer. If an implementation writes
> a file with a version in the field it must implement all the related "core
> features" (read and write) and must not use any other features at write
> because it makes the data unreadable by another implementation if only the
> same level of "core features" are implemented.
> For example if we have encoding A listed in the version 1 "core features" but
> encoding B is not then at "complianceLevel = 1" we can use encoding A but we
> cannot use encoding B because it would make the related data unreadable.
