   At first glance 2GB of metadata seems big especially when considering the 
toy example that I made in ORC-1361. However, if you have a 500GB ORC file then 
2GB of metadata does not appear too big anymore so things are relative.
   
   Are there limitations on the maximum size of an ORC file? Do we support such 
kind of use-cases?
   
   If we add a limit while writing (which by the way I also suggested in 
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/11729) then we should define 
what happens when the limit is exceeded:
   * drop all metadata
   * fail the entire write
   * ignore metadata over the limit (keep partial metadata)
