Write index page in parquet file

[asfimport]

PARQUET-922 has been resolved, parquet-format 2.4.0 supported index page. Once PARQUET-1201 has been resolved, we need to  write index page in parquet file.

Hi [~legend],

When I've created PARQUET-1201 my intention was to track the whole implementation phase of this feature. The PR I've created for PARQUET-1201 was just a little first step in parquet-format required for the parquet-mr implementation.
The parquet-mr implementation is still ongoing under PARQUET-1201 but not yet in a phase that I would initiate a PR. If you are interested in the early implementation phase you can check it here.
Hopefully, I will be able to start the first PR of the parquet-mr implementation next week.

Hi @gszadovszky.

Sorry, I think that you just provided api now.

The reason I'm concerned about index page is that this feature helps query performance. I want to use the feature as soon as possible , and test performance relative to No-Index Page. You can assign the issue to your, I will continue to follow the feature.

By the way, do you have the guidance or FAQs about parquet performance tuning? Please email , if you have it. Thanks for your work and help.

Hi [~legend],

The first phase I've referenced and currently working on will concentrate on the writing path so no performance gains will apply. It already requires quite large code modifications so, I've decided to split the implementation. I will implement the read path but cannot say any deadlines.
I don't have any guidance. The components like Hive and Impala have they own default values and personally I did not test the different values from performance point-of-view. I would suggest sending an email to dev@parquet.apache.org with your typical data so someone who have more experience can reply some hints about the proper parameters.
If you agree I would close this issue with duplicate to PARQUET-1201.
