**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** DataFusion contains a custom `DFParser` that extends `sqlparser` and overrides its parsing of `DESCRIBE TABLES` and `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE`. **Describe the solution you'd like** Looking at sqlparser the only functionality missing upstream is understanding the `COMPRESSION` keyword in `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE`. This feels like a very simple upstream contribution that would then allow removing `DFParser` and its corresponding `Statement` abstraction. **Describe alternatives you've considered** We could not do this **Additional context** FYI @andygrove @alamb @liukun4515 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
