Rationale for this change
This makes it possible for AsyncChunkReader implementations to implement
AsyncChunkReader::get_metadata
without having to duplicate functionality from the parquet crate. It also feeds into the story of separating the IO to fetch bytes, from the logic to decode those bytes.What changes are included in this PR?
Tweaks the methods used to read parquet to allow them to be exposed publicly
Are there any user-facing changes?
The sync reader will no longer pre-fetch bytes when reading the footer. I'm inclined to think this will be complete wash in terms of performance, and makes the implementation simpler.
