 `ColumnChunk` is neccessary, but `ColumnChunkMeta` is `optional`. This might 
making io-estimating a bit tricky but it making `ColumnChunkMeta` not in 
footer? And you're right because we need the column chunk metadata to actually 
read the column.
   
   Yeah, you're right and I think I just misunderstood the original comment (it 
gets confusing between the rust types in parquet and the thrift structs defined 
by the parquet thrift IDL :)). But I guess you could just have the column chunk 
as the bare minimum of just an offset and path and then just do decoding purely 
based on the data page headers.
