> [C++][Parquet] Parquet Writer always puts null_count=0 in Parquet statistics
> for dictionary-encoded array with nulls
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-12513
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12513
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++, Parquet, Python
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 2.0.0, 3.0.0
> Environment: RHEL6
> Reporter: David Beach
> Assignee: Weston Pace
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: parquet-statistics, pull-request-available
> Fix For: 6.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 6.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> When writing a Table as Parquet, when the table contains columns represented
> as dictionary-encoded arrays, those columns show an incorrect null_count of 0
> in the Parquet metadata. If the same data is saved without
> dictionary-encoding the array, then the null_count is correct.
> Confirmed bug with PyArrow 1.0.1, 2.0.0, and 3.0.0.
> NOTE: I'm a PyArrow user, but I believe this bug is actually in the C++
> implementation of the Arrow/Parquet writer.
> h3. Setup
> {code:python}
> import pyarrow as pa
> from pyarrow import parquet{code}
> h3. Bug
> (writes a dictionary encoded Arrow array to parquet)
> {code:python}
> array1 = pa.array([None, 'foo', 'bar'] * 5, type=pa.string())
> assert array1.null_count == 5
> array1dict = array1.dictionary_encode()
> assert array1dict.null_count == 5
> table = pa.Table.from_arrays([array1dict], ["mycol"])
> parquet.write_table(table, "testtable.parquet")
> meta = parquet.read_metadata("testtable.parquet")
> meta.row_group(0).column(0).statistics.null_count # RESULT: 0 (WRONG!){code}
> h3. Correct
> (writes same data without dictionary encoding the Arrow array)
> {code:python}
> array1 = pa.array([None, 'foo', 'bar'] * 5, type=pa.string())
> assert array1.null_count == 5
> table = pa.Table.from_arrays([array1], ["mycol"])
> parquet.write_table(table, "testtable.parquet")
> meta = parquet.read_metadata("testtable.parquet")
> meta.row_group(0).column(0).statistics.null_count # RESULT: 5 (CORRECT)
> {code}
