## Feature Request / Improvement PyIceberg doesn't expose Parquet page index writing, even though PyArrow supports it with `ParquetWriter(write_page_index=True)`. ### Use case / motivation Page indexes let readers such as ClickHouse skip non-matching pages during predicate evaluation, avoiding decoding work for selective queries. Tables written by PyIceberg currently lack these indexes, so page-level pruning is not possible regardless of reader support. ### Proposed change Add an opt-in `write.parquet.page-index-enabled` table property, default false, to preserve current output and file sizes. When enabled, PyIceberg passes `write_page_index=True` to PyArrow's ParquetWriter. ### Implementation PR #3829 adds the table property, threads it through `_get_parquet_writer_kwargs`, documents it in mkdocs/docs/configuration.md, and includes unit and integration test coverage. ### Tooling note I developed this with assistance from DS v4 Pro and reviewed the changes myself. ### References - #3829 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
