WildcardPath (Apache Parquet Common 1.9.0 API)

```
public class WildcardPath
extends Object
```
Holds a String with wildcards ('*'), and can answer whether a given string matches this WildcardPath. For example: "foo.*.baz" or "foo*baz.bar*" The '*' in "foo*bar" is treated the same way that java regex treats "(.*)", and all WildcardPath's are considered to match child paths. For example, "foo.bar" will match "foo.bar.baz". It will not match "foo.barbaz" however. To match "foo.barbaz" the pattern "foo.bar*" could be used, which would also match "foo.barbaz.x" Only '*' is considered a special character. All other characters are not treated as special characters, including '{', '}', '.', and '/' with one exception -- the delimiter character is used for matching against child paths as explained above. It is assumed that {} globs have already been expanded before constructing this object.
