Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

Nowadays, we support BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT in parquet. However, during writing, our highest format is PARQUET_2_6. So, do we need to support Parquet 2.8 or higher version

Changelogs: https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/CHANGES.md#version-280

Determine which version changes affect BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT and define the compatibility and validation requirements; done means the project has a decided, validated support plan.
