> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parquet-cpp
> Reporter: Francois Saint-Jacques

> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> I had to look at the implementation to understand what are the lifetime
> relationship for the following objects:
> * FileMetaData
> * RowGroupMetaData
> * ColumnChunkMetaData
> From what I gather, a reference to the top-level FileMetaData must be hold
> for any of the children objects (RowGroupMetaData and ColumnChunkMetaData)
> lifetime. It is unclear if the original buffer from which the metadata was
> deserialized must be hold for the lifetime of the FIleMetaData object, I
> suspect it does not need to be kept.
