Background

In the Parquet reader, certain data type conversions were limited in functionality. Specifically, the conversion of Boolean values to Decimal was not supported. This limitation posed challenges for users working with Parquet files containing Boolean data that needed to be represented as Decimal for further computations or integrations.

Improvement

With this update, the Parquet reader has been enhanced to support Boolean-to-Decimal conversion. This improvement ensures greater flexibility and compatibility when working with Parquet data, allowing users to seamlessly perform the previously unsupported conversion.
