Description

Hi Beam community,

 I am seeing an error when reading an array field using ParquetIO. I was using beam 2.25.  Both direct runner and spark runner testing is seeing this issue. This is a blocker issue to me for the beam adoption, so a prompt help would be appreciated.

 Below is the schema tree as a quick visualization. The array field name is "numbers" and the element type is int. 

 

root |

     -- numbers: array (nullable = true) | |

           -- element: integer (containsNull = true)

 

The beam code is very simple: pipeline.apply(ParquetIO.read(avroSchema).from(parquetPath));

 

Below is the error when running that code:
