Description
### Describe the enhancement requested
Since we have many artifacts in this repo, currently the building toolchain for each component is language specific.
e.g.,
- cmake for cpp
- maven for java
- makefile for dev-container
- buf for protobuf
- ...
It seems bazel is fit for our project, only one building toolchain supports polylang, i.e., cpp/python/Java, even docker container.
Especially for GraphAr: the java/spark library depends on cpp artifacts via FastFFI.
Bazel is a worthy try!
p.s. I also propose this to [GraphScope](https://github.com/alibaba/GraphScope/issues/4117) project.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by inventorying the existing CMake, Maven, Makefile, and buf build configuration for the C++, Java, Python, protobuf, and container artifacts, then determine whether Bazel can cover them and the FastFFI dependency; done means a documented, working unified build.
