Vassil Lunchev updated PARQUET-225:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
As of now, parquet doesn't support delta encoding for INT64. However it is 
planned in the format:
https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-format/blob/master/Encodings.md

The benefits of this feature are huge. For timestamps it achieves twice better 
compression than SNAPPY on plain encoding, and the reading is faster. This 
feature is actually advertised on the home page of Parquet, even though it is 
not yet implemented:
