- Implemented v4 format detection in TsFileReader
- Added NotImplementedException with clear explanation when v4 files are encountered
- Updated STATUS.md with critical limitation warning about v4 format
- Documented that Java-C# interoperability is broken without v3 format
- Added version compatibility table explaining the issue
- C# can only read/write v3 format files
- Java generates v4 format by default, which C# cannot read

This addresses @CritasWang's concern that v4 support is critical for production readiness.
The code now clearly indicates this limitation rather than failing silently.

Pull request overview

This PR unifies the TsFile API and establishes V4 as the default file format, supporting both tree model (RegisterTimeseries) and table model (RegisterTable) with automatic version detection on read. It introduces comprehensive interoperability testing between Java and C# implementations and enhances documentation.

Changes:

  • Unified TsFileWriter/TsFileReader API with V4 as default format
  • Added bidirectional Java-C# interoperability testing infrastructure
  • Implemented comprehensive encoding tests (CHIMP, ZigZag, Ts2Diff, etc.)
  • Enhanced documentation (STATUS.md, USER_MANUAL.md, V4_SUPPORT_STATUS.md)

This documentation appears outdated. The PR description states 'Set V4 as default file format' and 'Support both tree model and table model', suggesting C# now supports V4. Update to reflect current V4 support status.
