Review Comment:
   Well, another option would be to add a new configuration setting to allow 
the user to either have it fail with a good error message, or just silently 
break the circle like this. However I am not familiar with how 
`parquet-protobuf` is configured. If I should go that route, I'd appreciate 
some examples!
