[Flavio Pompermaier](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-14627779): Repeated columns (protobuf) and lists (thrift) support would be VERY useful..

[Stefano Bortoli](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-14627810): I agree with Flavio. +1 for supporting multi-valued columns.

[Nicola](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-14738942): +1

[Julien Le Dem](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-14992586) / @julienledem: @alexlevenson did you have any plan for this?

[Flavio Pompermaier](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-15000213): If someone could give me some advice I could try to implement it by myself (I never looked into Parquet code...)

[Julien Le Dem](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-15009167) / @julienledem: You can start by looking at the filter2 api contribution: commit: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/commit/ad32bf0fd111ab473ad1080cde11de39e3c5a67f PR: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/4 older PR with feedback: https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-mr/pull/412

[Flavio Pompermaier](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-15022109): I think that introducing contains() is definitely not as simple as mentioned at the beginning of this post. It would require a huge rework of parquet-column in order...

[Flavio Pompermaier](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-15036803): Anyone willing to push this feature..? :(

[Ryan Blue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-15036944) / @rdblue: [~f.pompermaier], I don't think anyone has extra cycles to spend implementing this right now, but if you are interested in building it, we'll work with you...

[Flavio Pompermaier](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-34?#comment-15675013): Am I still the only one asking for this feature..?
