Research direction

Start at ParquetFileWriter.java around line 916, then compare the writer behavior with the Parquet-Format file-format documentation and the parquet.thrift definition around line 790. Determine whether the missing column metadata is an implementation defect or an intentional format detail, and document the finding or resulting correction.
