 5. The `content_offset` and `content_size_in_bytes` fields are used to 
reference a specific blob for direct access to a deletion vector. For deletion 
vectors, these values are required and must exactly match the `offset` and 
`length` stored in the Puffin footer for the deletion vector blob.
 6. The following field ids are reserved on `data_file`: 141.
 
+For `variant` type, the `lower_bounds` and `upper_bounds` store the minimum 
and maximum values for all shredded subcolumns within a file. These bounds are 
represented as a Variant object, where each subcolumn path serves as a key and 
the corresponding bound value as the value. The object is then serialized into 
binary format (see [Variant 
encoding](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/VariantEncoding.md)).
