Which issue does this PR close?

Relates to #385, but does not close it.

Rationale for this change

While investigating #385, I noticed that there was a discrepancy between the max definitions calculated in parquet::arrow::levels. and what the parquet type system emits. So I kept digging, and found that my interpretation of the rules had errors.

  • non-null primitive should have def = 0, was misinterpreting the spec
  • list increments 1 if not null, or 2 if null

This fixes these issues, and updates the tests

What changes are included in this PR?

Described above

Are there any user-facing changes?

No

@hohav may you please point your test repro to my branch, write the file, then confirm if parquet tools sees the correct output.

I don't have the Java parquet tools, so it'll be quicker if you do that. Thanks

This branch does remove the assertion panic I initially ran into. parquet cat still crashes on the resulting file in all cases. Output from parquet meta:

  • v1: count 6 / nulls 1
  • v2: count 3 / nulls 1 (unchanged)
  • v3: count 2 / nulls 0 (previously count 2 / nulls 2)

Hi @hohav, I've looked at all 3 versions, and I see that while this PR fixes the definition issue, it doesn't address your specific issue because of the writer bug that I indicated in #385.

I see that you also tested against

arrow = { git = "https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs.git" }
parquet = { git = "https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs.git" }

I might have not been clear enough, I had meant for you to test against

arrow = { git = "https://github.com/nevi-me/arrow-rs.git", branch = "parquet-fix-levels" }
parquet = { git = "https://github.com/nevi-me/arrow-rs.git", branch = "parquet-fix-levels" }

It's not an issue though, as I've cloned your repro repo, and installed parquet-mr tools to check what you're seeing.

The solution is two-fold, this PR, and then computing stats in #512 so that we avoid the column writer computing these stats.

I don't have enough bandwidth to drive #512, would you be able to help with it? I think the main tasks would be:

  • checking that the stats for lists make sense (they should, but we probably need tests)
  • adding stats for fixed-len binary where it makes sense.

It would be a good exercise in digging into the arrow compute code.

CC @alamb @jorgecarleitao for a review.

- non-null primitive should have def = 0, was misinterpreting the spec
- list increments 1 if not null, or 2 if null

This fixes these issues, and updates the tests

I don't fully grok the definition level details so I can't really say if this is correct or not, but I reviewed the tests and skimmed the code and it seems reasonable to me. 👍

I noticed other tests like arrow_writer_binary also read data back from parquet and validate the results (and thus confirm data survives the roundtrip).

Would it make sense to have the same test here as well?

@alamb it's because fn roundtrip was added after these tests existed (and I think the reader was lagging behind the writer), so we never expanded it to them. I've now done so, removing quite a bit of duplication.

Looks much nicer 👍

Hi @nevi-me, thanks again for taking a look at this. I did test against both your branch and master, though it's possible I messed up while juggling so many variants.

I can take a stab at #512 when I find time, but would that also address the crash in parquet cat? If not, do you know what's causing it?
