Review comment:
       I agreed that extending the `BaseOrcReader`  and `BaseOrcWriter` 
introduces tight coupling, I tried to de-couple `flink` writer from generic orc 
writers and let them share the common writers. But seems it's hard to share the 
codes because we used a static `buildConverter` method to build the converter 
for each data type and few Converter depends on the static `buildConverter`, 
makes hard to abstract to the common converters.  Just curious why did we 
implement the orc writer in `converter` way instead of visiting the types by 
`OrcSchemaWithTypeVisitor` and generate relative `OrcRowWriter`  (in this way 
we could share most of the writers.),  the current `converter` seems strange 
compared to other `parquet` writers and `avro` writers.
