Review Comment:
   FYI: for column index we specified it explicitly to allow shortening the 
min/max values (e.g. string are truncated to 64bytes by default). 
   The older min/max statistics for the row groups are trickier since it is not 
properly specified. The issue is if only one implementation of parquet in the 
wild would do the similar truncate we may loose data when filtering if we use 
this "aggressive optimization". 
   Dictionary is a completely different thing. It contains the very values from 
the pages themselves. It is not designed to be used for filtering (but we use 
anyway) but to save space.
