Description

Discussion from the dev mailing list: [Fallback Encoding for Very Sparse or Sorted Datasets-Apache Mail Archives](https://lists.apache.org/thread/jkkxhknsxw8cdv8fxf1bstqdn5fzw2pl)

If beginning values are all nulls, the dictionary encoding is disabled when first data page is created. This loses the advantage of dictionary encoding if following values are good fit.
