Description

In arrow dataset, Filter pushdown can improve reading files performance greatly. We notice parquet has implemented, https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/35b3567e73423420a99dbe6116f000e3c77d2a4c/cpp/src/arrow/dataset/file_parquet.cc#L465-L484.
But ORC fileformat has not supported Filter pushdown. It ignores the "filter" of  ScanOptions now.

Research direction

Start by comparing the ORC scanner's handling of ScanOptions with the parquet implementation in cpp/src/arrow/dataset/file_parquet.cc around lines 465-484. Trace where the ORC scanner currently ignores the filter, then verify that ORC scans apply filter pushdown and preserve the expected filtered results and performance behavior.
