Corrupt Parquet Files

I am getting corrupt parquet files as the result of a spark job. The write job completes with no errors but when I read the data again I get the following error:

org.apache.parquet.io.ParquetDecodingException: Can not read value at 0 in block -1 in file hdfs://MYPATH/part-r-00004-b5c93a19-2f75-4c04-b798-de9cb463f02f.gz.parquet

The job that generates this data partitions and sorts the data in a particular way to achieve better compression. If I don't partition and sort I have not been able to reproduce its behavior. It also only has this behavior on say 25% of the data. Most of the time simply rerunning the write job would cause the read error to go away but I have now run across cases where that was not the case. I am happy to give what data I can, or work with someone to run this down.

I know this is a sub-optimal report, but I have not been able to randomly generate data to reproduce this issue. The data that trips this bug is typically 5GB+ post compression files.

**Environment**: HDP-2.5.3.0 Spark-2.0.2
**Reporter**: [Steve Severance](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sseveran)

_{**Note**: *This issue was originally created as [PARQUET-831](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-831). Please see the [migration documentation](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2502) for further details.*}

Start with the stack-trace entry points ParquetFileReader.ConsecutiveChunkList.readAll and InternalParquetRecordReader, then investigate writes involving Spark partitioning and sorting. Use the reported HDP-2.5.3.0 and Spark 2.0.2 environment and large compressed files to seek a reproducible case. Done means identifying the cause and verifying that the generated Parquet files can be read without the reported exception.
