   > Seems that BIT_PACKED can be used for boolean data, would that also be 
deprecated?
   
   Boolean columns use either `PLAIN` or `RLE` encoding, where the `PLAIN` 
encoding is actually using bitpacking starting from the least-significant bit. 
I think the documentation for this is confusing since `PLAIN` Boolean links to 
the deprecated bit-packed encoding, followed by the note "LSB first", making 
this a quite different encoding.
