    Right, there's all sorts of metadata and often stats included in any parquet file: https://github.com/apache/parquet-format#file-format

    The offsets of said metadata are well-defined (i.e. in the footer) so for S3 / blob storage so long as you can efficiently request a range of bytes you can pull the metadata without having to read all the data.

    As i read here https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/LogicalTypes.md , they are store in Integer formats and these integers represent the number of days (for Date) or number of milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds (for DateTime) since 1970-01-01. This works as expected with the parquet file that written by our ETL tool from internal database --> S3, all Data/DateTime columns are Integers, means that in Glue Job, i have to convert these Integers back to Date/Datetime value to do some transformation on them. But when parquet files are written by Spark, they are Date/DateTime (or TimeStamp to be more concise) format not Integers (i checked by read these files again in other Glue Job) and that make me confused.
  • Parquet: More than just “Turbo CSV”

    Date is confusing with a timezone (UTC or otherwise) and the doco makes no such suggestion.

    The Parquet datatypes documentation is pretty clear that there is a flag isAdjustedToUTC to define if the timestamp should be interpreted as having Instant semantics or Local semantics.

    https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/Logical...

    Still no option to include a TZ offset in the data (so the same datum can be interpreted with both Local and Instant semantics) but not bad really.
