Hi all, Since the apache-parquet-1.17[1] release on January 13, 2026, master has accumulated a meaningful set of changes including:
- Java 11 baseline update - New reader APIs to expose the current row group index - Fix for Float16 statistics handling around NaN and signed zero - Fix for BinaryStatistics integer overflow - Schema cleanup to remove the redundant MAP_KEY_VALUE annotation in logical map types - parquet-cli improvements to ColumnSizeCommand, including sorting by size and percentage output - Dependency and security updates across aircompressor, Jackson, Arrow, protobuf, etc It seems reasonable to start a 1.18.0 release. What do you think? 1. https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/releases/tag/apache-parquet-1.17.0 2. https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/compare/apache-parquet-1.17.0...master Thanks, Manu
