Research direction

Start with the parquet-cli rewrite command and reproduce the reported gs:// input and output failure. Trace how rewrite resolves filesystem schemes, then check the Hadoop filesystem setup used by the CLI. Done means the requested GCS prune-columns workflow is supported or its limitation is clearly documented, with the error behavior covered by a test if the project provides one.
