+/// CDC (Content-Defined Chunking) is a technique that divides data into 
variable-sized
+/// chunks based on the content of the data itself, rather than using 
fixed-size
+/// boundaries.
+///
+/// For example, given this sequence of values in a column:
+///
+/// File1:    [1,2,3,   4,5,6,   7,8,9]
+///            chunk1   chunk2   chunk3
+///
+/// Assume there is an inserted value between 3 and 4:
+///
+/// File2:     [1,2,3,0,  4,5,6,   7,8,9]
+///            new-chunk  chunk2   chunk3
+///
+/// The chunking process will adjust to maintain stable boundaries across data
+/// modifications. Each chunk defines a new parquet data page which are 
contiguously
+/// written out to the file. Since each page compressed independently, the 
files' contents
+/// would look like the following with unique page identifiers:
+///
+/// File1:     [Page1][Page2][Page3]...
+/// File2:     [Page4][Page2][Page3]...
+///
+/// Then the parquet file is being uploaded to a content addressable storage 
systems (CAS)
+/// which split the bytes stream into content defined blobs. The CAS system 
will calculate
+/// a unique identifier for each blob, then store the blob in a key-value 
store. If the
+/// same blob is encountered again, the system can refer to the hash instead 
of physically
+/// storing the blob again. In the example above, the CAS system would 
phiysically store
+/// Page1, Page2, Page3, and Page4 only once and the required metadata to 
reassemble the
+/// files.
