             Summary: DeprecatedParquetInputFormat in CombineFileInputFormat would produce wrong data
                 Key: PARQUET-1947
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1947
             Project: Parquet
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parquet-cascading
            Reporter: Daniel Dai


When we read parquet file using cascading 2, we observe wrong data in the file boundary when we turn on input combine in cascading (setUseCombinedInput to true).

This can be reproduced easily with two parquet input files, each containing one record. A simple cascading application (attached) read the two input with setUseCombinedInput(true). What we get is the duplicated record in the first input file and the missing record in the second input file.

Here is the call sequence to understand what happen after the last record of first input:
1. cascading invokes DeprecatedParquetInputFormat.createValue(), that's the last record of first input again
2. CombineFileRecordReader invokes RecordReader.next and reach the EOF of first input
3. CombineFileRecordReader creates a new DeprecatedParquetInputFormat.RecordReaderWrapper, which creates the new "value" variable containing the first record of second input
4. CombineFileRecordReader invokes RecordReader.next on the new RecordReaderWrapper, but since firstRecord flag is on, next does not do anything
5. Thus the "value" variable containing the first record of second input is lost, and cascading is reusing the last record of first input
