Description
Currently, the floating point comparison order defined by parquet-format is ambigous and different implementations use different orderings. Once the specification is made unambigous (PARQUET-1222), implementations should be updated to conform to it.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points in parquet-java. Start by reading the blocked PARQUET-1222 issue, “Specify a well-defined sorting order for float and double types,” then identify the comparison implementation and its tests; done means parquet-java conforms to the finalized specification.
