Overlap DV bitmap and Parquet footer reads during native Delta scan preparation #5657

Open

Description

What is the problem the feature request solves?

Follow-up from the native Delta Lake scan review (#5365). For on-disk deletion vectors, the DV bitmap read and the Parquet footer read are independent, but preparation currently completes bitmap fetch, decode, and validation before starting the footer read. Overlapping them could reduce remote-storage preparation latency.

Any change should retain bounded concurrency across files, preserve cancellation, error handling, and memory reservations, and measure peak memory alongside latency since overlap raises concurrent resource use. Inline DVs have no bitmap network read to overlap.

Describe the potential solution

No response

Additional context

Raised in the #5365 review discussion.
