Deepak Majeti commented on PARQUET-1698:
----------------------------------------
How about adding API to the _RowGroupReader_ that will return the _col_start_
and _col_length_ for each column? parquet-cpp clients can then pass an
InputStream directly for each _ColumnReader_.
> [C++] Add reader option to pre-buffer entire serialized row group into memory

> In some scenarios (example: reading datasets from Amazon S3), reading columns
> independently and allowing unbridled {{Read}} calls to the underlying file
> handle can yield suboptimal performance. In such cases, it may be preferable
> to first read the entire serialized row group into memory then deserialize
> the constituent columns from this
> Note that such an option would not be appropriate as a default behavior for
> all file handle types since low-selectivity reads (example: reading only 3
> columns out of a file with 100 columns) will be suboptimal in some cases. I
> think it would be better for "high latency" file systems to opt into this
> option
