> Currently, Spark does not support NullType columns in Parquet files. This is 
> blocked at the ParquetFileFormat level, which throws an exception if there's 
> an attempt to read or write NullType column. Parquet has [UNKNOWN logical 
> type 
> annotation|https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/LogicalTypes.md#unknown-always-null],
>  which can be used for columns whose values are always null. This can be used 
> to write NullType columns into Parquet files, and when reading from Parquet 
> files that already has this annotation.
