Description

As per title, I created a simple record with thrift IDL and used the ParquetThriftOutputFormat. 

The library would not write any of the optional primitive even if set, it would write only if they are specified as required. 

 

parquet-mr: 1.11.1

thrift 0.13.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with ParquetThriftOutputFormat using a Thrift record containing optional primitive fields, comparing optional and required fields in the resulting Parquet file. Done means set optional primitive values are written and can be read back rather than being omitted.
