Java Paimon stores MAP<K, BLOB> columns in dedicated .blob files. Paimon C++ should be able to load those schemas and read the existing payload format through the Table API, including data-evolution fallback across sequence layers.
Reader scope
Decode payload version 1 for BOOL, integer, DATE, STRING, BINARY, and DECIMAL keys.
Support both inline BLOB values and BLOB descriptors.
Preserve null maps, empty maps, null values, and empty values.
Validate payload bounds, duplicate keys, DECIMAL canonical encoding, UTF-8 STRING keys, and non-null map keys required by Arrow.
Resolve placeholders across multiple sequence layers.
paimon.map.selected-keys is intentionally unsupported for Map Blob reads for now because filtering the internal fallback placeholder would lose older-layer data. TIME keys and ARRAY<BLOB> are also outside this issue and should be handled separately with their end-to-end type/format support.
Write support
This issue only tracks read compatibility. C++ table creation, regular writes, and append compaction must reject MAP<K, BLOB> until a Java-compatible Map Blob writer is implemented. There is no concrete writer timeline yet; writer support should be proposed and tracked separately.
