But the footer itself takes space! + +When reading, Parquet sees "row group ends at 1252" and tries to read from there, but the footer is also at 1252, creating confusion. + +**This should work fine in HDFS/S3** - so what's different about SeaweedFS? + +## Next Steps + +1. **Compare with HDFS** - How does HDFS handle this? +2. **Examine actual Parquet file** - Download and use `parquet-tools meta` to see footer structure +3. **Check if it's a file size mismatch** - Does filer report wrong file size? +4. **Verify chunk boundaries** - Are chunks recorded correctly in the entry? + +The bug is subtle and related to how Parquet calculates offsets vs. how SeaweedFS reports them! +
