[jira] [Updated] (PARQUET-1945) Add an option to allow auto conversion from empty fields to NULL

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1945?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Zheng Shao updated PARQUET-1945:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Right now, Parquet Writer throws out an exception:

{{Parquet record is malformed: empty fields are illegal, the field should be ommited completely instead}}

when an empty field (array or struct or map I guess?) is written.

The suggestion here is to add an option "auto_convert_empty_fields_to_null" that convert empty fields to null automatically on write.

The LOC to change is [here:|https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/apache/parquet-mr/-/blob/parquet-column/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/io/MessageColumnIO.java#L328]
{quote}{{if (emptyField) {}}
{{ {{   throw new ParquetEncodingException("empty fields are illegal, the field should be ommited completely instead");}}}}
{{}}}{quote}
