   Thank you @zeroshade for the fix. I agree with your explanation. 
   
   @pitrou 
   For reference this is how[ java implementation 
decodes](https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/5608695f5777de1eb0899d9075ec9411cfdf31d3/parquet-column/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/column/values/rle/RunLengthBitPackingHybridDecoder.java#L87).
 
   
   At the end the type does not matter because everything is casted to int 64

 . This is an unfortunate side effect of reusing functions, but I do not see a 
better way
   
   I disagree with how we are relying on type to calculate the byte size, but 
unfortunatel I do not see a better way for this.
