    Description

      Parquet format PR #17 standardized representation of Parquet complex types and listed backwards-compatibility rules. Spark SQL should implement these compatibility rules to improve interoperatability.

      Before, Spark SQL is only compatible with parquet-avro, parquet-hive, and Impala. And it's done in an error prone ad-hoc way, because Parquet format spec didn't explicitly specify complex type structures at the time Spark SQL Parquet support was firstly authored. After fixing this issue, we are expected to be compatible with most (if not all) systems that generated Parquet data in a systematic way by conforming to Parquet format spec and implementing all backwards-compatibility rules.
