ENH: Add option for Parquet metadata to disambiguate index names that conflict with column names #16391

Closed

Description

@wesm

As an improvement on the Parquet metadata https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/doc/source/developer.rst, we should provide an option to specify an index as:

{'column_name': $SOME_UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER,
 'name': $INDEX_NAME}

If the metadata contains an index entry that is a string, then it is assumed that the column name in the Parquet file and the index name are the same. That way the current specification is forward compatible
