Why is the Hunk timestamp column displaying hex character?

Trying to query custom log in s3 in json parquet format through Hunk. But for some reason hunk is not displaying timestamp field "starttime" correctly.

{"ap_mac_address":"FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF","base_user_name":"00:25:4B:98:6C:BF","starttime":"��\t��\u0011\u0000\u0000�%\u0000","uniquehash":"6393fb43ffb35fa93b051f0b3ab8b3f4"...}

When I query the same file with other tools like hive/impala it display correct timestamp.

Are there any setting to display the timestamp correctly?

thanks.

INT96 type is deprecated by parquet.
Official link here : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-323
Hunk currently does not support int96 type.
You can follow recommendation in the link (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-323) to replace int96 with some other type.
