Apache Arrow JIRA Bot reassigned ARROW-17464:
---------------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Anja Boskovic)
> [C++] Support float16 in writing/reading parquet
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-17464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17464
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Parquet, Python
> Reporter: Anja Boskovic
> Priority: Major
> Labels: parquet, pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Half-float values are not supported in Parquet. Here is a previous issue that
> talks about that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1647
> So, this will not work:
> {code:java}
> import pyarrow as pa
> import pyarrow.parquet as pq
> import numpy as np
> arr = pa.array(np.float16([0.1, 2.2, 3]))
> table = pa.table({'a': arr})
> pq.write_table(table, "test_halffloat.parquet") {code}
> {{This is a proposal to store float16 values in Parquet as FixedSizeBinary,
> and then restore them to float16 when reading them back in.}}
