Review Comment:
   Is this change needed for this PR? 
   
   Decimal32/Decimal64 were just added recently and it is not widely supported 
by all the kernels, or downstream systems (e.g. DataFusion)
   
   I think this change means that some parquet files that currently are read as 
Decimal128 would come back as Decimal32/Decimal64 which is likely to be a 
pretty big change to some consumers.  
   
   I would suggest backing out this part of the change, if possble, and filing 
a separate ticket to discuss changing how decimal data is read from existing 
parquet files
   
   If we want to proceed, we should probably need to add additional tests that 
show what happens when decimals are read from parquet.
