             Summary: parquet-thrift converts Thrift i16 to parquet INT32 instead of INT_16
                 Key: PARQUET-1717
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1717
             Project: Parquet
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: parquet-thrift
            Reporter: Emmanuel Brard


Currently when converting Thrift to Parquet, the ThriftSchemaConverter will convert a i16 thrift data type as a INT32 Parquet data type even if the logical type INT(16, false) would be more representative, especially for downstream consumers of the parquet files.

Using the logical data type requires a change in this method:

{code:java}
 @Override
  public ConvertedField visit(I16Type i16Type, State state) {
    return visitPrimitiveType(INT32, state);
  }
{code}

from the ThriftSchemaConvertVisitor
