ParquetFileReader class
This class enables you to interact with Parquet files.
The ParquetFileReader$create() factory method instantiates the object and
takes the following arguments:
file A character file name, raw vector, or Arrow file connection object
(e.g. RandomAccessFile).
props Optional ParquetArrowReaderProperties
mmap Logical: whether to memory-map the file (default TRUE)
... Additional arguments, currently ignored
$ReadTable(column_indices): get an arrow::Table from the file. The optional
column_indices= argument is a 0-based integer vector indicating which columns to retain.
$ReadRowGroup(i, column_indices): get an arrow::Table by reading the ith row group (0-based).
The optional column_indices= argument is a 0-based integer vector indicating which columns to retain.
$ReadRowGroups(row_groups, column_indices): get an arrow::Table by reading several row groups (0-based integers).
The optional column_indices= argument is a 0-based integer vector indicating which columns to retain.
$GetSchema(): get the arrow::Schema of the data in the file
$ReadColumn(i): read the ith column (0-based) as a ChunkedArray.
$num_rows: number of rows.
$num_columns: number of columns.
$num_row_groups: number of row groups.

  # This file has compressed data columns
  tab <- pq$ReadTable()
  tab$schema
