**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe
what you are trying to do.**
The current Thrift implementation of the compact protocol only handles those
types actually used by the Parquet spec. Handling for types `map`, `set`, and
`uuid` are deliberately omitted. However, nothing precludes these types being
added to the specification in the future. While decoding can be left until that
time, being able to skip these types should be possible.
Right now, trying to decode a `FileMetaData` containing optional fields of
the above types errors with
```
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: General("Unexpected struct
field type 13")
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The parser should be able to safely ignore fields with unimplemented types.
