### Parquet 3 metadata proposal This is a very rough attempt at solving the problem of `FileMetadata` footprint and decoding cost, especially for Parquet files with many columns (think tens of thousands columns). It includes a bunch of changes: 1. a new "Parquet 3" file structure with backwards compatibility with legacy readers 2. new Thrift structures allowing for decoupled decoding of file-level metadata and column metadata 3. removal of outdated, redundant or undesirable fields from the new structures ### Jira - [ ] My PR addresses the following [Parquet Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET/) issues and references them in the PR title.
