Description

IP addresses can be much more optimally represented as a 64 bit integer, meaning that it's much more efficient for storage and allowing consumers to do equality or subnet (range) comparisons using long-integer arithmetic.

Research direction

Start with the issue description and the linked PARQUET-1363 and migration documentation references. Determine the intended logical type representation for IP addresses and the required equality and subnet-range comparison behavior. Done should mean the requested logical type is specified and implemented with appropriate validation and coverage.
