Review Comment:
   Yeah. You are right. `BOOLEAN_TRUE` and `BOOLEAN_FALSE` physical types need 
special handling. When we shred them, they should be grouped together, 
considered as one type. 
   
   And also we may need to have a type list {`NULL`, `BOOLEAN`, `INT8`, 
`INT16`, etc}, which is almost same as physical type list with BOOLEAN for 
`BOOLEAN_TRUE` and `BOOLEAN_FALSE`. Otherwise, we can't represent a shredded 
column type for true/false. 
   
   I'm fine to keep it simple for now. We can revisit if needed.

Review Comment:
   Thanks for explanation.
   
   If a field is missing and we remove the field from `shreddedFields`, why do 
we still need `removedFields` to keep track of it?  Would the following get the 
correct field list? 
   
   ```
     private Set<String> nameSet() {
       Set<String> names = Sets.newHashSet(shreddedFields.keySet());
   
       if (unshredded != null) {
         Iterables.addAll(names, unshredded.fieldNames());
       }
   
       return names;
     }
   ```
