Description

The MemoryManager adjust the row group size threshold of writers when the allocated memory pool fills up.
Problem: However InternalParquetRecordWriter only re-adjusts the row group size on the next flush meaning they still use the old size.
This opens up a possibility of getting an OOM error if all writers are started at relatively the same time and progress in tandem(I saw this when investigating failing jobs while writing to disk in Spark)
