Function build_projection_plan 

pub fn build_projection_plan(
    parquet_read_cols: &ParquetReadColumns,
    parquet_schema_desc: &SchemaDescriptor,
) -> ProjectionMaskPlan

Builds a projection mask plan for reading a parquet file.

parquet_read_cols defines the requested root columns and optional nested paths to read.

parquet_schema_desc is the schema descriptor of the current parquet file. It is used to resolve requested nested paths to actual leaf column indices.

See ProjectionMaskPlan for the returned value.

For example, if the query requests j.a and k, but the current parquet file only contains leaves under j.b and k, then the returned plan keeps k in the projection mask and marks j as not present in the output, so it can be synthesized during post-processing.
