Parquet: Validate geospatial projection parameters

[manuzhang]

Summary

• validate Parquet geometry and geography logical-type parameters against the projected Iceberg type
• reuse the existing Parquet-to-Iceberg primitive conversion so omitted defaults and case-insensitive CRS matching remain consistent
• add focused coverage for matching parameters, geometry and geography CRS mismatches, and geography edge-algorithm mismatches

Context

Parquet geospatial values carry their CRS and edge interpolation algorithm in the logical-type annotation rather than in the WKB payload. PruneColumns previously ignored these parameters, so a file could be interpreted using incompatible parameters from the projected Iceberg schema.

This is the Java-side counterpart discovered while reviewing apache/iceberg-cpp#880.

Testing

• ./gradlew :iceberg-parquet:test --tests org.apache.iceberg.parquet.TestPruneColumns
• ./gradlew :iceberg-parquet:spotlessJavaCheck
• git diff --check

• This validates only top-level primitives in the ID-less fallback path. When a selected top-level field is a struct, list, or map, the entire Parquet group is retained unchanged, so any projected nested geometry/geography still bypasses the new CRS/edge-algorithm check and can be read with incompatible parameters. Please traverse each matched group positionally against the projected type and validate its nested primitives as well; add a nested ID-less mismatch test to cover this path.

        Types.NestedField expectedField = expectedSchema.findField(ordinal);
        if (type.isPrimitive() && expectedField.type().isPrimitiveType()) {
          PruneColumns.validatePrimitive(
              expectedField.type().asPrimitiveType(), type.asPrimitiveType());
