When appending Parquet files to a directory containing existing Parquet data together with their summary files, new data may contain different but compatible schema from existing data. Ideally, summary files should be updated and contain a merged version of schema. However,
ParquetOutputCommittermay fail to write summary files if new files and old files contain conflicting user-defined metadata. In this case, we should remove existing_metadataas well as_common_metadata.
