Convert JSON to Parquet directly

In order to convert JSON payload to Parquet, the "established" way seems to be to go first through a JSON to Avro conversion, provided the JSON payload is covered by a JSON-Schema or part of a OpenAPI definition. The rest of the process relies on the parquet-avro implementation.

Since JSON payload can be loaded to a generic JsonNode (jackson library) and since a JSON payload can be described and checked against a JSON-Schema or an OpenAPI definition, wouldn't it be theoretically possible to convert a JSON payload to a Parquet "record" directly (somehow implementing a similar approach than parquet-avro but this a JsonNode as a data holder)?

Start by reviewing the existing parquet-avro implementation and how Jackson JsonNode represents and validates JSON against JSON-Schema or OpenAPI definitions. Define the scope and design for producing a Parquet record directly from JSON, including what constitutes a complete conversion.
