Can write but read parquet file with nested arrays

case class Inner(b: Array[Int])
case class Outer(a: Array[Inner])

val data = Outer(
Array(
  Inner(Array(1, 2)),
  Inner(Array(3, 4))
 )
)

$ parquet-tools cat /tmp/test.parquet 
a: 
.array: 
..b: 
...array = 1 
...array = 2 
.array: 
..b: 
...array = 3 
...array = 4
