Hi Gene, Thanks for your effort on adding variant type to the parquet-format! For the next release, I'd like to include the geometry type [1] as well which is also targeted for the Iceberg V3 spec. I can volunteer to be the release manager.
However, there was a discussion [2] on the requirement of two PoC reference implementations when promoting a new format change. There are also concerns from the variant logical type PR [3] against parquet-java. This is something to discuss in the community if we want to make the variant type an exception.
