   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   
   I am exporting data from an application using an Arrow schema - the data is 
then written into a parquet file. Some fields are logically enums, and I would 
like to export them as the ENUM type in Parquet, but there is currently no way 
to specify that.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   
   In parquet, ENUM is an annotation of a BYTE_ARRAY, similar to STRING. Unlike 
String, it's parametrized with the allowable values.
   
   It sounds like it might be an extension type, as in #5822 .
