Description
Currently,
org.apache.parquet.hadoop.ParquetFileWriter#appendFile(org.apache.parquet.io.InputFile) uses appendRowGroup method to concate parquet row group. However, appendRowGroup method **looses** column index.
```java
// code placeholder
public void appendRowGroup(SeekableInputStream from, BlockMetaData rowGroup,
boolean dropColumns) throws IOException {
....
// TODO: column/offset indexes are not copied
// (it would require seeking to the end of the file for each row groups)
currentColumnIndexes.add(null);
currentOffsetIndexes.add(null);
}
```
Look forward to functionality that support append with page index.

Research direction
Start in parquet-hadoop/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/hadoop/ParquetFileWriter.java at appendFile(InputFile) and appendRowGroup. Trace how row-group column and offset indexes are represented and why the current method adds null entries. Review the surrounding writer logic and existing tests, then define completion as appended row groups retaining their page indexes.
