Research direction

No file, test, or CLI entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the parquet-java CLI command that reports file metadata and the existing encryption metadata APIs; done means the CLI clearly reports encryption details, mode, and whether the footer or file is encrypted.

Description

Type: enhancement
Describe the enhancement requested

Since Parquet 1.12, encryption has become a first class citizen, with support for footer and column level encryption.
However, users have no clear way to check encryption metadata, mode, or whether footer/file is encrypted.
Add support for encryption details in the CLI to allow users to clearly view encryption details for parquet files
