### Describe the enhancement requested I wanted to add a cache for `ParquetFileReader.getColumnIndexStore(int blockIndex)` and I've noticed that I can't access the required `blocks` field from a subclass. To accomplish this I had to fallback to reflection as can be seen here: https://github.com/linkedfactory/linkedfactory-pod/blob/c67b155e3fbf76082e2b24fd412efae5838badc6/bundles/io.github.linkedfactory.core/src/main/java/io/github/linkedfactory/core/kvin/parquet/KvinParquet.java#L881 I would propose to improve the extensibility of `ParquetFileReader` by chaning certain core members (like `blocks`) to protected or by exposing them through protected getters. ### Component(s) _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
