Parquet Writer Optimizes Row Group Size with OUTFILE Usage

Parquet writer now uses reasonable row group size when invoked through OUTFILE. #49325 (Michael Kolupaev).
The Parquet writer now uses a reasonable row group size when invoked through OUTFILE.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the issue of inefficient row group sizes in Parquet files created via OUTFILE. By using a more appropriate row group size, it improves file compression and query performance when reading these files, providing better storage efficiency and faster analytics.

How to use it

When exporting data to Parquet format using OUTFILE, the writer will automatically apply the optimized row group size without any additional configuration from the user.
