make it easy to read and write parquet files in java without depending on hadoop

I am happy to help with this but I'd love some guidance on:

1) likelihood of being accepted as a patch.
2) how critical it is to maintain backwards compatibility in APIs.

For instance, we probably want to introduce a new artifact that lives under the existing hadoop depending artifact, and move as much code as possible to that, keeping the hadoop apis in the old artifact.

Welcome comments on solving this issue.
