/**
 * Read parquet metadata from an async buffer.
 *
 * An AsyncBuffer is like an ArrayBuffer, but the slices are loaded
 * asynchronously, possibly over the network.
 *
 * You must provide the byteLength of the buffer, typically from a HEAD request.
 *
 * In theory, you could use suffix-range requests to fetch the end of the file,
 * and save a round trip. But in practice, this doesn't work because chrome
 * deems suffix-range requests as a not-safe-listed header, and will require
 * a pre-flight. So the byteLength is required.
 *
 * To make this efficient, we initially request the last 512kb of the file,
 * which is likely to contain the metadata. If the metadata length exceeds the
 * initial fetch, 512kb, we request the rest of the metadata from the AsyncBuffer.
 *
 * This ensures that we either make one 512kb initial request for the metadata,
 * or a second request for up to the metadata size.
 *
 * @param {AsyncBuffer} asyncBuffer parquet file contents
 * @param {MetadataOptions & { initialFetchSize?: number }} options initial fetch size in bytes (default 512kb)
 * @returns {Promise<FileMetaData>} parquet metadata object
