Review Comment:
   The relevant paragraph from the 
[spec](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/VariantShredding.md#objects)
 for my second comment:
   
   ```
   Each shredded field in the typed_value group is represented as a required 
group that contains optional value and typed_value fields.
   The value field stores the value as Variant-encoded binary when the 
typed_value cannot represent the field. This layout enables readers to skip 
data based on the field statistics for value and typed_value.
   The typed_value field may be omitted when not shredding fields as a specific 
type.
   ```
