### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? DataFusion aspires to be a modular query engine, and not all users need support for parquet The [parquet](https://docs.rs/parquet/latest/parquet/index.html) crate has a non trivial number of dependencies (some of which prevent compiling DataFusion to WASM -- see https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/7652) Also there have been reports like https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/2042 where some of the native dependencies like `zstd` cause build issues ### Describe the solution you'd like I would like to make `parquet` support optional, the same way `avro` support is Avro is marked as `optional`: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/5f38135d5d21160d6b1ef7213578dd5eddfa4f95/datafusion/core/Cargo.toml#L53 It would be great to mark `parquet` as optional too https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/5f38135d5d21160d6b1ef7213578dd5eddfa4f95/datafusion/core/Cargo.toml#L82 In order to make this work, we would likely need to encapsulate the parquet code in a more modular fashion (rather than sprinkling `#[cfg(feature = parquet)]` all over the code ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
