> I don't know if there are people making use of the lower-level APIs operating on columns, row groups, column chunks, pages, etc... However, any APIs made private could be made public again in a point-release based on user feedback. I don't know either -- the idea of marking everything lower level as private and then making it re-pub as use cases arise seems reasonable to me, though a bit of an annoying crowd sourcing exercise (annoying to the crowd that is) > I think this sort of touches on the objectives for the crate, is the intent to provide APIs for manipulating parquet files, or APIs for implementing parquet readers and writers for your own custom in-memory format. If the latter, this change would be at odds with it, but I'm not sure this is the case? I think @sunchao or @nevi-me perhaps are the most knowledgeable about the goals of the crate so perhaps they would want to comment -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
