Description

While loading a specific parquet file (arrow::read_parquet(file = file)), the following error is returned:

Error in parquet__arrow_FileReader_ReadTable1(self) :
Invalid: Invalid UTF8 payload

I managed to load several other parquet files, it is just this specific file due to which I presume it may be due to some syntax used in this file. As there any known bug in terms of handling the UTF8 encoding?
