Description
RunLengthBitPackingHybridDecoder accepts run headers that encode 0 length repeated runs, and treats them as if they were 2^32 length run, so effectively every value returned for that data page will be the same. (see https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/0a86429939075984edce5e3b8195dfb7f9e3ab6b/parquet-column/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/column/values/rle/RunLengthBitPackingHybridDecoder.java#L66 )
Throwing an exception if count is 0 would give a proper error message for some corrupt files, and would make it clear that these are not legal values.
