------------------------------------

             Summary: Add the term "page index" into the spec
                 Key: PARQUET-2480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2480
             Project: Parquet
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrew Lamb


I have always found it very confusing that people refer to the term "page index" when referring to parquet, for example [https://lists.apache.org/thread/o9nxbmv1z4hph3v5s2z63jsklywpkyyj|https://lists.apache.org/thread/o9nxbmv1z4hph3v5s2z63jsklywpkyyj,]

However, the term "page index" is not used in the the parquet thirft file https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/src/main/thrift/parquet.thrift

The term does appears as the name of the file that describes the `ColumnIndex` spec.

[https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/PageIndex.md]

 

I would like to clarify that ColumnIndex is the implementation of the Page index concept
