Description
The parquet file format already supports extensible key/value storage in the column metadata and file metadata sections of the file. It would be nice if there was a facility in place for computing custom values to be placed in these key/value stores.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked parquet-mr pull request 185 and the code that writes Parquet column and file metadata. Determine how custom values should be computed and supplied for both key/value stores, then add coverage showing that the values are present in the resulting metadata.
