+ * <p>Reading with projection can be enabled with the projection schema as 
following. The
+ * projection_schema contains only the column that we would like to read and 
encoder_schema contains
+ * all field but with the unwanted columns changed to nullable.

Review comment:
       The description is still a bit vague. Can you please elaborate more on 
how much improvement users could expect from the column projection? For 
example, if the transform with the column projection only reads a half of the 
columns, does it also use only half of the memory and finish two times faster 
than the transform without the column projection? (If not, why is that?)

>    Affects Versions: 2.14.0

> Current {{ParquetIO}} supports neither column projection nor filter predicate 
> which defeats the performance motivation of using Parquet in the first place. 
> That's why we have our own implementation of 
> [ParquetIO|https://github.com/spotify/scio/tree/master/scio-parquet/src] in 
> Scio.
> Reading Parquet as Avro with column projection has some complications, 
> namely, the resulting Avro records may be incomplete and will not survive 
> ser/de. A workaround maybe provide a {{TypedRead}} interface that takes a 
> {{Function<A, B>}} that maps invalid Avro {{A}} into user defined type {{B}}.
