**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** Parquet adopted the Variant type from Spark [VariantEncoding.md](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/VariantEncoding.md) and we completed an initial implementation of Variant: - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/6736 This support includes: 1. APIs for reading/writing Variant encoded data (`parquet-variant` crate) 2. APIs for converting to/from JSON (`parquet-variant-json` crate) 3. APIs for working with Arrow arrays of Variants, including kernels `cast_to_variant`, `variant_get` and `shred_variant` **Describe the solution you'd like** There are still several areas for additional work, with tickets gathered below **API Finalization** - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8297 **Shredding Support** - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8151 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8400 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8153 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8332 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8334 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8336 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8337 **Full `variant_get` Support** - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8154 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8082 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8086 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8087 **Infrastructure** - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8387 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7978 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7711 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7870 - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7960 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
