+//! Benchmark for Parquet nested list filter pushdown performance.
+//!
+//! This benchmark demonstrates the performance improvement of pushing down
+//! filters on nested list columns (such as `array_has`, `array_has_all`) to
+//! the Parquet decoder level, allowing row group skipping based on min/max
+//! statistics.
+//!
+//! The benchmark creates a dataset with:
+//! - 100K rows across 10 row groups (10K rows per group)
+//! - A `List<String>` column with sorted values (lexicographically ordered)
+//! - A filter that matches only ~10% of row groups
+//!
+//! With pushdown enabled, ~90% of row groups can be skipped based on min/max
+//! statistics, significantly reducing the rows that need to be decoded and
+//! filtered.
