Julien Le Dem commented on PARQUET-226:
---------------------------------------
Enabling more precise configuration of encodings per column is a useful feature.
Could you describe how you want to control the encoding?
something like ```parquet.column.encoding.column_path=ENCODING``` ?
> Introduce an interface for controlling the encoding per column

> There are use-cases in which it is advantageous to have control over the type
> of encoding used for a given column. To achieve this, the ParquetProperties
> class must be refactored to facilitate its subclassing. The constructors of
> ParquetWriter and (probably) InternalParquetRecordWriter have to be modified
> as well. All the internal parquet classes have to refrain from directly
> instantiating ParquetProperties and should accept the instance from outside.
> Currently me and my team are using a good amount of reflection and
> unenforceable assumptions in order to gain control of this behavior. I'd like
> to implement the interface change. Are you interested in this feature?
