   Currently we make use of the Apache thrift crate for encoding and decoding 
Parquet metadata. This has served us well, but there are a few problems:
   
   * The performance is sub-optimal - 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/discussions/7737#discussioncomment-7186343
   * It does not appear to be maintained anymore - 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5640
       * https://docs.rs/databend-thrift/latest/databend_thrift/
       * https://docs.rs/tent-thrift/latest/tent_thrift/
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**

   Parquet requires a very limited portion of the thrift specification, only 
making use of the compact encoding, and none of the protocol functionality. It 
should be relatively straightforward to support this subset with a custom 
implementation.
