Description

ParquetWriter has a lot of constructors. A builder pattern can be used to simplify construction of ParquetWriter objects (similar to ParquetReader, see PARQUET-39).

ParquetWriter subclasses (like AvroParquetWriter) should be updated to provide reasonable builder() static factory method.
