Description
### Feature Request / Improvement
We need to have a set of tests for the new File Format API (#12774)
We need test for the features collected [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sF_d4tFxJsZWsZFCyCL9ZE7YuI7-P3VrzMLIrrTIxds/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.hrt6siqyob8m).
We can start from `TestGenericFormatModels`. We need tests writes with Generic data, and then test reading them with Generic/Spark/Spark vector/Flink/Arrow, then writes with Generic/Spark/Flink and reads with Generic.
The test suite should be easy to extend for new File Formats

Research direction
Start with TestGenericFormatModels and the feature list in the linked document. Build the compatibility tests around Generic, Spark, Spark vector, Flink, and Arrow read/write combinations, with coverage for adding new file formats. Done means the requested combinations are tested and the suite is easy to extend.
