      Description

      Wes stated on IMPALA-3000:

      It's unlikely Impala has ever seen this code path as all of its own Parquet data is encoded with the main RLE encoding – but conceivably there could be BIT_PACKED code floating around out there. But then there's a separate issue because BIT_PACKED uses MSB-ordered packing, while BitReader unpacks in LSB order (see the parquet-format). It may be worth disabling BIT_PACKED altogether if it is incorrect.
