   > Some remaining question: What would it expect todo with non-bytearray 
types, like int32?
   
   oh sorry, missed the last comment. The new `GetDictionary` itself would work 
as long as the internal decoder is a dictionary decoder, regardless of types.  
The issue is that current record reader only `read_dictionary` for byte array 
(i.e., the `values()` always returns decoded values and `read_dictionary()`  
returns false for non byte-array, and that's why I target byte array in this 
pr).  I think it probably makes sense to extend the `read_dictionary` for other 
types in a separate PR.
