Rationale for this change
Addressing the comments in #278 (comment) to allow for optimizing reads by skipping entire pages and leveraging the offset index if it exists.
What changes are included in this PR?
Deprecating the old
NewColumnChunkReader
andNewPageReader
methods as they really aren't safe to use outside of the package, and have proved difficult to evolve without breaking changes. Instead users should rely on using theRowGroupReader
to perform the creation of the column readers and page readers, which is generally what is done by consumers already.Adding
SeekToRow
method on the ColumnChunkReader to allow skipping to a particular row in the column chunk (which also allows quickly resetting back to the beginning of a column!) along withSeekToPageWithRow
method on the page reader. Also updates theSkip
method to properly skip rows in a repeated column, not just values.Are these changes tested?
Yes, tests are included.
Are there any user-facing changes?
Just the new methods. The deprecated methods are not removed currently.
