Research direction

Start by locating and comparing ValidTypeMap and PrimitiveTypeName in parquet-mr to document their overlapping responsibilities. Before changing either class, determine the intended unified API and identify the existing tests that cover both types. Done means the overlap is removed without changing the supported type behavior, but this issue does not define the design or acceptance criteria.
