Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked GitHub Actions job and the parquet-thrift-compat.snappy.parquet resource named in the error. Read velox/dwio/parquet/reader/ParquetReader.cpp, focusing on convertType and the reported nested ROW conversion failure. Done means the Parquet file can be read without the INVALID_STATE error.
