[Thrift definition](src/main/thrift/parquet.thrift) in the
`ColumnOrder` union. They are summarized here but the Thrift definition
is considered authoritative:
- * NaNs should not be written to min or max statistics fields.
- * If the computed max value is zero (whether negative or positive),
- `+0.0` should be written into the max statistics field.
- * If the computed min value is zero (whether negative or positive),
- `-0.0` should be written into the min statistics field.

- For backwards compatibility when reading files:
- * If the min is a NaN, it should be ignored.
- * If the max is a NaN, it should be ignored.
- * If the min is +0, the row group may contain -0 values as well.
- * If the max is -0, the row group may contain +0 values as well.
- * When looking for NaN values, min and max should be ignored.

statistics:

Review Comment:
Yes, maybe you are right. My point is that, if we write nan_count or even
record count, the program would works well. However, non-float point page would
have some size-overhead. Personally, I'd like to use `list<bool>`, because it's
easy to implement, and also lightweight. And we can hear others idea.
