   ### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful 
details as  possible.
   
   
   Using the following schema to represent a nullable integer tuple type, how 
does one write the tuple `NULL` and differentiate it from `(NULL, NULL)`? I 
know the latter can be written by writing integers with def level 0, but I'm 
not sure about the former.
   ```
   message schema {       
       optional group a (LIST) { 
           optional int f1;
           optional int f2;
       }
   }
   ```
   If it's not possible, are there any methods (ex. recommended schemas, 
columns, metadata) which are commonly used in this situation? I was thinking 
about adding an additional bool field `isNull` to deal with the problem, but 
I'm not sure if it's the best way. 
   
   ### Component(s)
   
   Go, Parquet
