	// Returns the components of the page index for this column chunk,

	// Note that the returned value may be the same across calls to these
	// methods, programs must treat those as read-only.
	//
	// If the column chunk does not have a column or offset index, the methods return
	// ErrMissingColumnIndex or ErrMissingOffsetIndex respectively.
	//
	// Prior to v0.20, these methods did not return an error because the page index
	// for a file was either fully read when the file was opened, or skipped
	// completely using the parquet.SkipPageIndex option. Version v0.20 introduced a
	// change that the page index can be read on-demand at any time, even if a file
	// was opened with the parquet.SkipPageIndex option. Since reading the page index
	// can fail, these methods now return an error.
