**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** The parquet crate currently rolls its own `ByteBufferPtr`, `BufferPtr`, `Buffer`, etc... and this feels like functionality that could be provided by an upstream crate. **Describe the solution you'd like** The [bytes](https://docs.rs/bytes/latest/bytes/) crate has wide ecosystem adoption and supports most of the necessary functionality. It does not support memory tracking, but I'm not sure this is being used given the `util::memory` module was made experimental and therefore not public in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/1134 and there hasn't been any wailing nor gnashing of teeth resulting from this. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Continue to use custom buffer abstractions. Tagging @sunchao as I believe he added this code all the way back in 2018 :sweat_smile: -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
