**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** The current `ParquetMetaDataReader` only allows enabling or disabling the reading of page indexes (column and offset indexes) as a boolean flag. This lacks flexibility when using the same `ParquetMetaDataReader` for parquet files with and without the optional indexes present but wanting to use them when they are available. **Describe the solution you'd like** Update the `ParquetMetaDataReader` to make reading the page indexes optional instead of required or skip. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Create a `ParquetMetaDataReader`, require reading page indexes, attempt to read, catch a failure if it occurs, recreate without reading page indexes, and reread. **Additional context** -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
