   > I think id < 12345 actually scans two row groups, the correct result for 
CountRows should be 20000
   
   Shouldn't the correct result be 12344?
   
   > For Parquet's predicate pushdown, is the filter level row group or page?
   
   Row group level currently.  Page level would be ideal but has not been 
implemented yet.
   
   > If it's row group, would the filtering level of the page be more efficient?
   
   Yes, in most cases, and there is no reason we can't do both.
   
   > If it's page, can ParquetFileFormat::CountRows accurately calculate the 
number of rows corresponding to the predicate expression?
   
   Depends.  If the predicate affects multiple columns like `x < 10 && y > 0` 
then page indices can't fully answer the question.  If the predicate only 
touches one column like `x < 10` then we still probably have to do some 
in-memory filtering (e.g. a page might have min=0 and max=20).
   
   > And where is the key code about the above questions?
   
   There are three main spots.
   
   First, the parquet-cpp library is a (mostly) standalone library for reading 
parquet files.  It doesn't really have access to arrow expressions or arrow 
compute.  Page indices would probably first be added at this level.
   
   Second, the arrow parquet reader wraps parquet-cpp and interfaces it with 
the rest of the arrow code.  Any capability we add in parquet-cpp will need to 
be exposed through the arrow parquet reader.
   
   Finally, the parquet file format translates format-agnostic filtered reads 
into actual commands into the arrow parquet reader.   Once the capability to do 
filtered reads has been added to the arrow parquet reader then the parquet file 
format will need to utilize this.
