### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible.
It's not clear from description https://parquet.apache.org/docs/file-format/data-pages/encodings/ how are big Decimals (precision >= 18) placed. As I could understand they can be encoded as BYTE_ARRAY or FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY. But there're two ways to place "the bytes contained in the array" from memory: big endian and little endian. I.e. they are in LE in int128 in memory. Could I place the bytes into FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY as is?
It's also not clean if there's some encoding over these decimal's bytes, should the data be swapped to correct endianness before of after the encoding?
