Ian Cook / @ianmcook:
@rok  how do you think we would we would expose an option for whether to apply the DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY encoder when writing column(s) to Parquet? Do you think it would be in the same way we expose the option for dictionary encoding, e.g. here in PyArrow?

Rok Mihevc / @rok:
@ianmcook yes I believe so.
While we already have the decoder we would need to implement the encoder for this to work though.

Joris Van den Bossche / @jorisvandenbossche:
There is actually already a column_encoding option in pyarrow's write_table (just encoding on the C++ side), where you can specify the exact encoding to use per column. So the APIs to expose this as an option are already there (which encoding is used by default, that's something else)
