Review Comment:

   Are you sure? The [current Parquet 
proposal](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/pull/624/changes#diff-0e877db0daf579f98a11e5e113b29250a2dcae3decb1e83a88db1e6f092bee96R1105-R1106)
 mentions "greater than zero", and I'm not so sure about the benefit of a 
zero-length vector.
