   > Why parquet is a part of Arrow? They should be independent, aren't they?
   
   My understanding is that the parquet project is a separate top level ASF project. 
   
   https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?arrow
   
   https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?parquet
   
   > Arrow2 and Parquet2 are independent crates. Could we move parquet to a top level repo, for example Apache/parquet-rs?
   
   Yes that would be fine -- right now they are in the same repo as the same people maintain them and it lowers the maintenance burden to have them in the same repo. I would personally not be opposed to separating them
   
   I think it is a similar setup to the C++ implementation https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/cpp which has arrow and parquet in the same foramt
   
   > Parquet should be maintained by Apache Parquet committee. Is it a little weird to let Apache Arrow contributors to maintain this crate ?
   
   I don't disagree -- the reason I am helping with both is that we need both in our project. 
   
   Also, I think fast conversion between `arrow` <--> `parquet` is important and having them in the same repo may help with that.
