Research direction
Start with the Apache Arrow JavaScript documentation and the C++ implementation linked in the issue, then identify how Node.js bindings could expose Parquet reading and writing. Done means the apache-arrow Node.js library provides usable bindings to the Parquet C++ code, with the required integration scope and tests established.

Description
Describe the enhancement requested
PyArrow's documentation says how it handles reading and writing of parquet files
Apache Arrow is an ideal in-memory transport layer for data that is being read or written with Parquet files. We have been concurrently developing the C++ implementation of Apache Parquet, which includes a native, multithreaded C++ adapter to and from in-memory Arrow data. PyArrow includes Python bindings to this code, which thus enables reading and writing Parquet files with pandas as well.
It would be useful if the Node.js library apache-arrow also had bindings to this C++ code. It would help in development of desktop apps written in Electron and generally help the development of data tools that exist in the Node.js ecosystem.
