Hello, I am sorry for asking a somewhat inappropriate question.
For context, our projects depend on a fix in Parquet master but not yet released. Parquet 1.11.0 is in release-candidate phase. It looks like we can't build against Parquet 1.11.0 RC to include the fix and run successfully on Spark 2.4.x, which includes 1.10.1, without various classpath workarounds. I see now that Spark policy requires the Avro upgrade to wait until Spark 3.0, and since Parquet 1.11.0 RC currently depends on Avro 1.9.1, it may also have to wait. I'll continue to think on this in the scope of the Parquet community.
