Thank you very much for the fast reply, Hans.  Issue was that I looked not at 
Parquet native Types but in general available types like [1].
In addition to that I find it strange that Big Number gets mapped to String. 
But I will not create ticket for that now, that I saw this was done somewhat 
intentionally.

Kind Regards
Jonathan

Betreff: Re: PARQUET FILE OUTPUT Column Datatypes

Hi Jonathan,

We translate all our types to the supported Parquet native types which are 
documented here [1].
We have not implemented the notion of the logical types in this output 
transform.
The cast from Hop types to Parquet types can be found here [2].

All of our data types should be supported and changing the type using the 
metadata tab from select values should work.
If you feel this is not the case feel free to create a jira ticket, preferably 
with a reproduction pipeline attached.

Kind regards,
Hans

Dear Hop Team,

I have a question regarding the PARQUET FILE OUTPUT Step in Hop (2.0).
I would like to define the column Data Type for each column that comes from 
some Database in the Parquet File. I figured defining Datatypes by the Select 
Value Step should do the trick. However it seems no matter what I choose the 
metadata for each column to be, it only seems to save columns with following 
datatypes.
INT64, timestamp, string and double.
I would like to save a column as decimal, date and smaller int types. Is that 
at all possible with this step?

Kind Regards

Jonathan
