Review Comment:
   I do think it is time for a new major release to remove a lot of legacy (for 
example the removal of OriginalType 
https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/1194). However, we don't want to be 
too aggressive, so this is a balance we have to find. I do think adding a 
1.15.0 release might smooth out things, for example, by raising the lower bound 
of Hadoop step by step (>2.9 in 1.15 in 
https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/2944, and then we can move to >3.3 
at some point in 2.0?)
