/**

* Provides classes to store Avro data in Parquet files. Avro schemas are converted to * parquet schemas as follows. Only record schemas are converted, * other top-level schema types are not converted and attempting to do so will result * in an error. Avro types are converted to Parquet types using the mapping shown here: *

* For Parquet files that were not written with classes from this package there is no * Avro write schema stored in the Parquet file metadata. To read such files using * classes from this package you must either provide an Avro read schema, * or a default Avro schema will be derived using the following mapping. *

* Parquet fields that are optional are mapped to an Avro null union. *

* *

* Some conversions are lossy. Avro nulls are not represented in Parquet, * so they are lost when converted back to Avro. Similarly, a Parquet enum does not * store its values, so it cannot be converted back to an Avro enum, * which is why an Avro string had to suffice. Type names for nested records, enums, * and fixed types are lost in the conversion to Parquet. * Avro aliases, default values, field ordering, and documentation strings are all * dropped in the conversion to Parquet. *

* Parquet maps can have any type for keys, but this is not true in Avro where map keys * are assumed to be strings. *
