test: reduce Parquet stress test data

[vyasr]

Description

Right-size Parquet stress-test fixtures while retaining explicit multiple-row-group and multiple-chunk assertions. This keeps the intended writer and chunked-reader coverage without generating unnecessarily large test data.

Related, could your agent cross reference the cuDF Python parquet tests in cudf/python/cudf/cudf/tests/input_output/test_parquet.py with these libcudf parquet tests and see if similar stress tests can be removed from the Python side?

When I did cuDF Python test cleanups last year, a few of these data sizes you're modifying look familiar from the Python side.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved Parquet read tests to validate multi-chunk output where applicable.
  • Reduced large test dataset sizes and adjusted input/output limits for more efficient test execution.
  • Consolidated Parquet writer stress coverage while preserving compression, validity, and host/device write scenarios.
  • Added verification of row-group metadata and round-trip read/write results.

Walkthrough

The changes revise Parquet chunked-reader limits and multi-chunk assertions. They also consolidate writer stress-test setup, reduce test workloads, configure row groups, and validate metadata and round-trip results.

Changes

Parquet test updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Chunked reader limit validation cpp/tests/io/parquet_chunked_reader_test.cu	The input-limit helper can require multiple chunks. The List and Mixed tests use smaller row counts and lower limits.
Writer stress-table validation cpp/tests/io/parquet_writer_test.cpp	A shared helper configures row groups, supports host and device sinks, checks four row groups, and validates round-trip results for six stress variants.

The reduced Parquet fixtures retain round-trip coverage, but some reader limit cases no longer verify their expected chunk counts. A chunking regression could therefore pass tests unnoticed; restore an explicit chunk-count or applicable lower-bound assertion before relying on this coverage.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not leave the chunk-count contract unchecked.

expected_chunk_counts is now explicitly ignored. The input-limit-only calls at Lines 1580, 1582, 1759, and 1761 therefore verify only the concatenated table. They can pass even if the reader stops producing the expected number of chunks. Either assert updated expected counts, or remove the arrays and add an explicit lower-bound check where multiple chunks are required.
