### Describe the enhancement requested When reading a Parquet leaf column as Arrow, we [presize the Arrow builder](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/a0cc2d8ed35dce7ee6c3e7cbcc4867216a9ef16f/cpp/src/parquet/arrow/reader.cc#L487-L488) so as to avoid spurious reallocations during incremental Parquet decoding calls. However, the `Reserve` method on `RecordReader` will [only properly reserve values](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/a0cc2d8ed35dce7ee6c3e7cbcc4867216a9ef16f/cpp/src/parquet/column_reader.cc#L1693-L1696) for non-FLBA non-BYTE_ARRAY physical types. The result is that, on some of our micro-benchmarks, we spend a significant amount of time reallocating data on the ArrayBuilder. ### Component(s) C++, Parquet -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
