Hi community, just wondering whether there is any update to this issue?

>                 Key: PARQUET-1822
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-1822
>             Project: Parquet
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: parquet-avro
>    Affects Versions: 1.11.0
>         Environment: Amazon Fargate (linux), Windows development box.
> We are writing Parquet to be read by the Snowflake and Athena databases.
>            Reporter: mark juchems
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: documentation, newbie

> I have been trying for weeks to create a parquet file from avro and write to S3 in Java.  This has been incredibly frustrating and odd as Spark can do it easily (I'm told).
> I have assembled the correct jars through luck and diligence, but now I find out that I have to have hadoop installed on my machine. I am currently developing in Windows and it seems a dll and exe can fix that up but am wondering about Linus as the code will eventually run in Fargate on AWS.
> *Why do I need external dependencies and not pure java?*
> The thing really is how utterly complex all this is.  I would like to create an avro file and convert it to Parquet and write it to S3, but I am trapped in "ParquetWriter" hell! 
> *Why can't I get a normal OutputStream and write it wherever I want?*
> I have scoured the web for examples and there are a few but we really need some documentation on this stuff.  I understand that there may be reasons for all this but I can't find them on the web anywhere.  Any help?  Can't we get the "SimpleParquet" jar that does this:
>  
> ParquetWriter writer = AvroParquetWriter.<GenericData.Record>builder(outputStream)
>  .withSchema(avroSchema)
>  .withConf(conf)
>  .withCompressionCodec(CompressionCodecName.SNAPPY)
>  .withWriteMode(Mode.OVERWRITE)//probably not good for prod. (overwrites files).
>  .build();
>
