fix: support parquet floating point columns as varchar - #814
Merged
Conversation
Allow REAL and DOUBLE Parquet columns to be read as VARCHAR. For ordinary Hive Parquet splits, reject incompatible VARCHAR value filters before they reach floating-point readers. When only metadata pruning is involved, disable the metadata filter and evaluate the residual predicate after conversion. Keep IS NULL and IS NOT NULL pushdown unchanged, and exclude Paimon splits from this handling.
