Description

Reading from Arrow-Parquet c++, Parquet files with RLE encoding in columns error out with 

"Unknown encoding type."

The error is thrown only in arrow-parquet c++ and error is due to RLE encoding not defined in the decoder. 

 

https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/parquet/column_reader.cc#L769

The files were generated from Athena using Iceberg, with the following query. 

 

create table test (d_bool1 boolean)
LOCATION 's3://'
TBLPROPERTIES (
'table_type'='ICEBERG',
'format'='parquet'
);
insert into  test VALUES (true);
