Defining the Parquet Schema
To be able to define a Schema, it is useful to have knowledge about primitives, nested groups, repetition levels, and logical types, as described below:

Apache Parquet supports a small set of primitives (integer, floating point, boolean, and byte array). These primitives can be extended using logical type annotations which are modifiers on primitives. For example, the UTF8 annotation is a modifier to byte arrays that denotes string data. Parquet also supports structured data through groups and repetitions (that is, optional, required, repeated).
