Supporting all datatypes in parquet/avro/orc file format, we are really need it on parquet for sure

As of today these “date”, “decimal/numeric”, “timestamp” data types in parquet file format not supported by Datastage 11.5 or 11.7, which is required for critical data migration project.
And now we are converting above data type to different format which is causing multiple issues downstream on making use of the data, also this conversion altering the data as well which doing the data type conversion.
