Proposal to rename parquet-mr to parquet-java

[asfimport]

When I first encountered "parquet-mr" I didn't not understand what the mr meant (I think it is map reduce?) but I believe what the https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr repo actually contains is a java implementation maintained by the Apache Parquet PMC

 

@pitrou  mentions the confusion about parquet-mr naming as well here

https://github.com/apache/parquet-site/pull/53#discussion_r1598284018

 

Also, can we explain what "mr" stands for? It's a mystery for most people.

 

 

Julien Le Dem suggested  renaming the parquet-mr repository to parquet-java to reduce confusion about its content: https://github.com/apache/parquet-site/pull/59#pullrequestreview-2056038304

 

This looks great. Thank you for taking the initiative. Hadoop is not required indeed. Perhaps at some point we should rename parquet-mr to parquet-java?

 

Thus I suggest we rename the repo to parquet-java. This requires an infra ticket which I can do if people agree with this

 

Note that all existing github links would continue to function by redirecting to the new name we recently renamed https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion to https://github.com/apache/datafusion for example and all the old links still work)
