   > Not for this PR but we should consider using a pattern that is more 
explicitly about why we are doing the cast, so future code doesn't repeat 
similar mistakes.
   
   Yes, that is a common concern accross the Parquet codebase. Part of that is 
historical design of the codebase I think, and part is due to Thrift metadata 
where many sizes are encoded as int32 rather than int64 (even though Thrift 
uses zig-zag encoding, so it probably wouldn't make a difference size-wise...).
