Benjamin Mako Hill 33150243cd datasets/: split parquet scripts; share logic in dumps_helper.py
Follows the helper-module pattern used in similarities/. Replaces
parquet_part1.py and parquet_part2.py (the merged single-file versions
from the previous commit) with:

- dumps_helper.py — schemas, simdjson parser, a generic parse_record
  loop with per-field handler dispatch, and parse_dump / gen_task_list
  / sort_and_write workers. The only per-type code is the field-handler
  dicts and the type-config dicts (COMMENTS, SUBMISSIONS) at the top.
- comments_part1.py, submissions_part1.py — thin Part 1 entry points
  with fire CLIs (parse_dump, gen_task_list).
- comments_part2.py, submissions_part2.py — thin Part 2 entry points
  for the Spark sort. pyspark is imported lazily inside sort_and_write
  so Part 1 callers don't pay the import cost.

Unifies on simdjson for both types (drops the json import), which is
faster on the comments dumps. Field-handler dicts make adding a new
type or field a one-place edit.

Also fixes a latent bug in the original: the FIELDS lists didn't
include time_edited (only the schema did), so error-path rows were
short by one element vs. the schema and would have failed pandas /
pyarrow alignment for any row that hit a JSON parse error. The new
FIELDS lists match the schemas exactly, and the _edited handler
returns a (edited, time_edited) tuple that the generic parse loop
expands.

Runners and README updated for the new CLIs.

# Add a single new month of dumps to the existing parquet datasets.
#
# Processes only the RC_<month>.zst and RS_<month>.zst files (Part 1),
# leaving the existing per-source temp parquet files untouched, then
# re-runs the Part 2 Spark sort + repartition over the full temp dir so
# the final by_subreddit / by_author datasets pick up the new data.
#
# Usage:
# add_new_month.sh YYYY-MM
#
# Example:
# add_new_month.sh 2025-03
#
# Every command below is independently runnable — to debug, copy a line
# out and run it directly. For a full rebuild instead, see
# build_from_scratch.sh.
#
# Note on cost: Part 2 always re-sorts the full corpus (the sort is global,
# not incremental), so this gets slightly slower each month. For the
# monthly cadence this is fine; if the sort becomes a bottleneck we'd
# need to rearchitect Part 2 to merge-append instead of re-sort.
