Description

Cell level encryption can do finer-grained encryption than modular encryption(Parquet-1178) or file encryption. The idea is only some fields inside the column are encrypted based on a filter expression. For example, a table with column a, b, c.x, c.y, d, we can encrypt column a, c.x where d == 5 and c.y > 0.
