Description
Since this is a parquet-specific encoder, it would be good to have a more complete description of the encoding/decoding, so that implementations have a easier time implementing it.

Contributor guide
Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the existing RLE-bitpack hybrid encoder material and the migration documentation linked in the issue, then document the encoding and decoding behavior in the appropriate Parquet format documentation. Done means implementations have a complete description they can use to implement the encoder and decoder.
