I have a parquet file which has a column "FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY / UUID", when I feed it to parquet-mr library, I get this exception:

Exception - caused by: org.apache.parquet.io.ParquetDecodingException: The requested schema is not compatible with the file schema. incompatible types: required binary

Identity (STRING) != required fixed_len_byte_array(16) Identity (UUID)

Btw,

1. I am using latest parquet-mr library i.e. 1.12.0
2. When i feed same file to parquet cpp library, it is able to decode it. So, I just want find out, is there any known issue in parquet-mr library w.r.t UUID?
