I've wrestled with data corruption bugs where conversion to Parquet gave a different form of NaN than the source data. Were the NaN bits just a coincidence of which language generated the NaN? Or could people intentionally be using different NaN bits to convey semantics that need preservation? 😱

If you want to support an open-source project but aren't able to commit time/expertise/money, write the maintainers a thank you note. This goes a long way to keeping us motivated.
