> When a {{CategoricalIndex}} is written and read back the resulting index is not more categorical.
> {code}
> df = pd.DataFrame([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']], columns=['c1', 'c2'])
> df['c1'] = df['c1'].astype('category')
> df = df.set_index(['c1'])
> table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
> pq.write_table(table, 'test.parquet')
> ref_df = pq.read_pandas('test.parquet').to_pandas()
> print(df.index)
> # CategoricalIndex(['a', 'c'], categories=['a', 'c'], ordered=False, name='c1', dtype='category')
> print(ref_df.index)
> # Index(['a', 'c'], dtype='object', name='c1')
> {code}
> In the metadata the information is correctly contained:
> {code:java}
> {"name": "c1", "field_name": "c1", "p'
>             b'andas_type": "categorical", "numpy_type": "int8", "metadata": {"'
>             b'num_categories": 2, "ordered": false}
