Review Comment:
   Thanks for catching this, it's a good find. You're right that numElements is 
only bounded by valuesCount, and since a forged file controls that value it can 
go all the way up to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Two separate things went wrong from 
there. The `+ vectorSize - 1` overflowed into a negative count, and even when 
it didn't overflow, a large count drove a big allocation before anything had 
been validated.
   
   While fixing it I found the allocation is genuinely reachable rather than 
theoretical. MultiBufferInputStream.slice() calls ByteBuffer.allocate(length) 
before it checks for EOF, so a small forged page really can ask for hundreds of 
megabytes.
   
   This is fixed in 338fb99c6. numVectors is computed in long now and checked 
against the bytes actually present before anything gets allocated. Since every 
vector needs a 4 byte offset entry plus at least its ALP and FOR headers, that 
gives a firm ceiling on how many vectors the remaining bytes could possibly 
describe, and anything above it throws a ParquetDecodingException that says how 
far short the page is.

Review Comment:
   You're right on all three counts, thank you. Fixed in 338fb99c6.
   
   initFromPage now validates the whole offset array before any vector is 
decoded. The first offset has to equal the offset array size, offsets have to 
increase by at least one vector's worth of fixed headers, and each one has to 
start early enough to leave room for those headers before the body ends.
   
   The observation about decode ignoring the next offset was the more important 
half of this, since that's the case that quietly returns wrong values instead 
of failing. decodeVector now takes each vector's end position from the 
following offset, or from the end of the body for the last vector, and rejects 
a packed body or exception block that runs past it.

Review Comment:
   Good catch, thank you. Fixed in 338fb99c6 by comparing against the remaining 
count with `n > totalCount - pageValueIndex` rather than adding to 
pageValueIndex, so a large n can no longer overflow past the check and leave 
the reader at a negative index. I added testSkipRejectsOverflowingCount to 
cover it.

Review Comment:
   Thank you for working through the arithmetic on this one, it turned out to 
be the most valuable comment in the review. I checked it and the numbers come 
out exactly as you described. At the default 20k row page limit with a 1024 
vector size a page holds roughly 19 vectors, and rowgroupSampleJump works out 
to 15, so each page contributes about two samples. Because reset() cleared 
sampledParams and vectorsProcessed at every page boundary, the count never got 
near SAMPLER_SAMPLE_VECTORS_PER_ROWGROUP, buildPresetCache() never ran, and 
findBest*ParamsWithPresets was effectively dead code. Every vector was paying 
for a full parameter search.
   
   Fixed in eb0e5941d. The sampler is meant to operate over a rowgroup rather 
than a page, so the sampling state now survives reset() and samples accumulate 
across pages the way the design intended. I added 
testPresetCacheBuildsAcrossPageBoundaries, which fails without the change.
   
   One consequence I want to flag, since it isn't obvious. Now that the preset 
path is genuinely reachable, encoded output can shift slightly, because the 
search narrows to the top MAX_PRESET_COMBINATIONS pairs instead of trying 
everything. That is the intended ALP sampling behavior and it matches the C++ 
implementation. Round tripping is still exact, since the chosen pair is 
recorded in each vector's header and exceptions cover anything it cannot 
represent.

Review Comment:
   This is the same underlying problem as your comment on the sampling cadence, 
and it's fixed in eb0e5941d. I've written up the details in that thread rather 
than repeating them here. Thanks for flagging it from both angles, it made the 
problem much easier to pin down.

Review Comment:
   You're right, and thank you for reading the tests as carefully as the 
production code. That test only inflated the page's valuesCount, so the 
`numElements <= valuesCount` check passed trivially and the allocation path was 
never touched.
   
   I replaced it in 338fb99c6 with 
testForgedElementCountIsRejectedWithoutHugeAllocation, which overwrites the 
num_elements field in the header directly and passes Integer.MAX_VALUE as 
valuesCount so that the allocation bound is what has to reject it. It covers 
both the counts that are simply too large for the page and the two that 
overflow the vector count arithmetic.

Review Comment:
   Agreed, and thanks for pointing it out. Catching Throwable meant the test 
could not really fail, which defeated the point of it.
   
   In 338fb99c6 I replaced catchAny with catchClean, which catches Exception 
and asserts that the type is one of the expected clean failures while letting 
Error propagate. An OutOfMemoryError from an allocation bomb or an 
AssertionError from an inner assertion will now fail the test rather than 
quietly counting as a successful rejection. I applied the same change to the 
`catch (Throwable)` in the corruption loop in AlpValuesEndToEndTest.

Review Comment:
   You're right that this was more complicated than it needed to be, thanks for 
pushing on it. The builder was keeping the enabled flag and the vector size as 
two separate ColumnProperty scaffolds, merging them into an AlpConfig in 
buildAlp(), and then splitting them apart again in the copy constructor. 
Nothing actually needed that round trip.
   
   Fixed in 99ae547c5. There is now a single ColumnProperty<AlpConfig>, with 
withAlp(AlpConfig) and withAlp(columnPath, AlpConfig) as the primary API. I 
kept withAlpEncoding and withAlpVectorSize as thin read-modify-write 
conveniences on top, since they match the ergonomics of 
withByteStreamSplitEncoding and it means no existing caller had to change, 
including ParquetWriter.Builder. buildAlp and the copy constructor split are 
both gone.
   
   I also moved the vector size validation into the AlpConfig constructor, 
which felt like the right home for it since an invalid size should be rejected 
however the config was built. That had the nice side effect of removing the 
last reference to AlpConstants from ParquetProperties, which made your 
visibility comment straightforward to act on.
   
   One thing I want to flag for you. To let the convenience setters modify an 
existing config rather than replace it, I added getDefaultValue and getValue to 
ColumnProperty.Builder. That class is package private so it is not public API, 
but it is a shared file rather than something ALP specific, so please say if 
you would rather I found another way around it.

Review Comment:
   Good question, and the answer is that it did not need to be public. I 
checked every reference and ParquetProperties was the only thing outside the 
package touching it, for DEFAULT_VECTOR_SIZE and validateVectorSize. Once the 
AlpConfig change above removed both of those, nothing external was left.
   
   The class and all of its members are package private now, in 78c1d182a. It 
seemed worth doing properly before a release rather than after, since it keeps 
the ALP internals out of the public API surface permanently.

Review Comment:
   Agreed, thank you. I went through each constant and sorted them by who 
actually reads them, in 78c1d182a.
   
   The sampler constants (SAMPLER_ROWGROUP_SIZE, 
SAMPLER_SAMPLE_VECTORS_PER_ROWGROUP, MAX_PRESET_COMBINATIONS) are only used by 
the writer, so they moved to AlpValuesWriter. The rounding magic numbers and 
the powers of ten tables are only used by the codec, so they moved to AlpCodec.
   
   What is left in AlpConstants is genuinely shared and all of it describes the 
wire format: the header and metadata sizes, the mode and encoding markers, the 
vector size bounds, and the per type exponent limits. It reads much better as a 
wire format definition than it did as a general bucket.

went with AlpCodec over AlpUtil since it really is a codec rather than a 
collection of helpers.

Review Comment:
   Understood, and sorry for the noise. All five files now use explicit static 
imports, in 78c1d182a. I did this last on purpose, after the constants had been 
moved to their new homes, so that the import lists reflect where things ended 
up rather than needing a second pass.

Review Comment:
   Thanks for spotting that. The cause is that the cell contains `4B &times; 
numVectors`, and the HTML entity is seven characters in the source but renders 
as a single glyph, so the box could never line up in both your editor and the 
rendered javadoc at the same time.
   
   Fixed in 78c1d182a by using the literal character and padding the cell to 
the right width, so every row is 73 characters in both views. The same diagram 
had been copied into AlpValuesReader with the same problem, so I fixed it there 
too.

Review Comment:
   Your timing on this was good. #3709 merged a couple of days after you left 
the comment, so parquet.thrift is now inlined in the repo and I was able to 
take the approach you suggested.
   
   In 229e0d99b, ALP = 10 is declared directly in the Encoding enum, and the 
perl script and the exec-maven-plugin execution that ran it are both gone. I 
verified the generated Encoding.java still carries ALP(10) after 
BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT(9) with no patch step involved.
   
   There is one wrinkle I want your opinion on. dev/update-parquet-thrift.sh 
overwrites parquet.thrift wholesale from upstream, so the next time anyone runs 
it the ALP entry will disappear silently. It also rewrites the 
parquet-format.version sidecar, so a note there would not survive either. For 
now I have put a clearly marked notice in the enum itself saying it is a local 
addition that needs re-applying until ALP is accepted into parquet-format, on 
the grounds that at least the loss shows up in a diff. If you would prefer this 
handled a different way, such as a guard in the update script, I am glad to 
change it.
