   -  https://github.com/apache/parquet-testing/pull/76 adds example variant 
binary values
   
   Variant is a binary format similar to JSON but allows more types in its 
value fields. 
   
   There are basic  tests for nested structures object and list that have a few 
elements such as:
   ```json
   [ 1, 2, 3, 4]
   ```
   
   And 
   ```json
   { 
    "field1": 1
   }
   ```
   
   The examples added so far have few enough fields to be encoded with an 8 
byte offset. However, the Variant spec includes variable sized offsets for 
objects with a larger number of fields or elements
   
   ```json
   [ 1, 2, 3, 4, ...  4000000 ]
   ```
   
   And 
   
   ```json
   { 
    "field1": 1
   ...
   "field400000": 123
   }
   ```
   
   
   This ticket tracks adding example Variant vales for such values. I did not 
add it to the original PR as I worried the binary items would be too large
