Description

I am studying parquet and found that it is not so easy to grasp the basic mechanism for writing/reading your own objects to a parquet file when you are not using protocol buffer, avro or thrift.

So my wish is to have a module that cover this topic.
I think for educational purposes it may have some value as it would help people get into the code.

I did the exercice, the code is here:
https://github.com/nromanetti/parquet-mr/tree/master/parquet-manual
