There has been a little bit of talk about a 2.0.0 release and I'm familiar with a lot of code marked for deprecation in parquet-thrift. As an exercise, and with the help of CoPilot, I tried to remove everything marked for deprecation (some of the deprecations are from as far back as 2015!) and it was about 5% of the total code in the module.
https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/3318 No action required from anyone, I just thought that was interesting. It gives a hint at how much code can be cleaned up when the project is ready for 2.0.0 Cheers, Aaron -- Aaron Niskode-Dossett, Data Engineering -- Etsy
