Better announcement message [Apache Parquet release 1.14.0]

[Joris Van den Bossche <jo...@gmail.com>]

In light of the discussions around better distinguishing Apache
Parquet the format and Apache Parquet-MR the Java implementation
(https://github.com/apache/parquet-site/pull/53), I wanted to give the
feedback that also the template of this release announcement could use
some improvement. Because as far as I see, this announcement is
actually for a release of parquet-mr, and not of Aapche Parquet (the
format) itself? While the message does not mention "mr" or "Java" at
all (except in the url, and that there are Java artifacts available).

Cheers,
Joris

Hi Joris,

Thanks for the advice! We should definitely eliminate the confusion.
Let me update the wording on the releasing parquet page on the
website [1].
