   Using snapshot builds is an interesting idea, but I think it's simpler to 
just vendor the file. I like having the file here so that we can see when it 
was updated, what version it came from, and whether there have been local 
changes. With a copy from a snapshot build, I think we'd end up not really 
knowing exactly what is being used (at least not easily). It would also be 
harder to test out changes before committing them.
   
   I was also surprised by the size of this PR, though. I think that the reason 
is we are adding requirements that we didn't in the other implementations, like 
an easy way to check the version or update it automatically. I think it's nice 
to have those, but the main goal is just to vendor the file and point to the 
local one. I wouldn't want to split this PR, but if the scope of the util 
scripts is too much we could to focus on not being tied to a parquet-format 
release and, separately, the management scripts in a follow up.
