Description
Extend WFDB-python to include support for Apache Parquet:
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/parquet.html
Given it's binary and there are c++ libraries out there, I thought it might be easy to at least support some subset of Parquet (or in fact, just generate a header for parquet files that makes a subset of parquet files WFDB compatible).
Benefit: Facilitate compute in AWS and Spark for large datasets

Research direction
Start with the linked Apache Parquet C++ documentation and review how WFDB-python currently represents its data formats; the issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Before implementation, define the supported Parquet subset or header behavior and how AWS and Spark interoperability will be verified.
