What changes are proposed in this pull request?

Enable GlutenVariantEndToEndSuite, GlutenVariantShreddingSuite, and GlutenParquetVariantShreddingSuite for both spark40 and spark41.

Changes:

  1. VeloxValidatorApi.scala: Detect variant shredded structs (produced by Spark's PushVariantIntoScan) by checking for __VARIANT_METADATA_KEY metadata on struct fields. Triggers fallback to Spark's native Parquet reader since Velox cannot read variant shredding encoding.

  2. ParquetMetadataUtils.scala: Refactor to single-pass architecture — extract parquetFooters() returning Iterator[Either[Exception, ParquetMetadata]] to read each footer once. Merge validateVariantAnnotation into isUnsupportedMetadata with metadataValidationEnabled parameter. Variant annotation check is always-on (correctness); codec, timezone, encryption checks are gated by config.

  3. Spark41Shims.scala: Add shouldFallbackForParquetVariantAnnotation to detect Parquet variant logical type annotations. Add needsVariantAnnotationCheck to avoid unnecessary I/O on Spark versions that don't support variant annotations.

  4. pom.xml: Add -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to test JVM args. On JDK 17 with LANG=C (CI containers centos-8/9), the default charset is US-ASCII causing garbled output for multi-byte characters. JDK 18+ defaults to UTF-8 via JEP 400. See VariantUtil.java#L508.

Enable GlutenVariantEndToEndSuite, GlutenVariantShreddingSuite, and
GlutenParquetVariantShreddingSuite for both spark40 and spark41.

Changes:
1. VeloxValidatorApi: Detect variant shredded structs produced by
   Spark's PushVariantIntoScan (checking __VARIANT_METADATA_KEY
   metadata) to trigger fallback to Spark's native Parquet reader.

2. ParquetMetadataUtils: Refactor to single-pass architecture.
   - Extract parquetFooters() returning Iterator[Either[Exception,
     ParquetMetadata]] to read each footer once.
   - Merge validateVariantAnnotation into isUnsupportedMetadata
     with metadataValidationEnabled parameter.
   - Variant annotation check is always-on (correctness); codec,
     timezone, encryption checks are gated by config.
   - VeloxBackend simplified to single validateMetadata() call.

3. Spark41Shims: Add shouldFallbackForParquetVariantAnnotation to
   detect Parquet variant logical type annotations. Add
   needsVariantAnnotationCheck to avoid unnecessary I/O on
   Spark versions that don't support variant annotations.

4. pom.xml: Add -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to test JVM args. On JDK 17
   with LANG=C (CI containers centos-8/9), the default charset is
   US-ASCII causing garbled output for multi-byte characters. JDK
   18+ defaults to UTF-8 via JEP 400.

Pull request overview

Adds Spark 4.1-specific detection and fallback behavior for Parquet Variant annotation / variant shredding so Velox avoids reading unsupported encodings, and enables previously-disabled Variant-related test suites.

Changes:

  • Add Spark shim hooks to decide when Parquet Variant annotation should trigger fallback (Spark 4.1).
  • Refactor Parquet metadata validation to read each footer once and include an always-on Variant annotation check when needed.
  • Enable Variant-related test suites for Spark 4.0/4.1 and force UTF-8 file encoding for test JVMs.

Do we need to add nonEmpty check?

struct.fields.nonEmpty &&
struct.fields.forall(_.metadata.contains("__VARIANT_METADATA_KEY"))

Might the struct $struct too heavy?

Can we reuse parquetMetadataValidationEnabled? the default value is false
