+/**
+ * A specialized builder for creating position-based delete file writers.
+ *
+ * <p>This builder extends the generic {@link ContentFileWriteBuilder} 
interface with functionality
+ * specific to creating {@link PositionDeleteWriter} instances.
+ *
+ * <p>The builder provides methods to configure the schema for the row data 
that might be included
+ * with the position deletes through {@link #rowSchema(Schema)}, enabling 
optional preservation of
+ * deleted record content.

Review Comment:
   Do we need to include this in the refactor? I'm trying to think about ways 
to reduce scope. v3 and later require deletes to be stored as separate deletion 
vectors in Puffin files rather than allowing the old format. That means we 
don't need to do all of the work to preserve the existing functionality.
   
   For instance, I don't think that we have had any implementations actually 
produce Avro/Parquet position deletes with the deleted row embedded. We also 
won't write stats for row content because it is much faster to assign deletes 
to data files by referenced data file rather than running stats comparison. So 
I don't think that we need to carry forward the `rowSchema` functionality.
   
   We could consider not adding position deletes to this API at all, but I 
think that we want to still produce them when writing to v2 tables. I think the 
best choice is to support writing them, but with the simplest schema possible 
and not allow setting the row schema (which isn't used anyway).
