Reading/Writing GeoParquet and GeoParquet schema

[bjyberg]

Hi Dewey,

Thanks for all of your work on this package. We are really stoked to start using it! I was wondering if the package currently has the ability to read/write GeoParquet format. I have been able to read/write parquet files with a geometry from arrow/geoarrow, but on read it seems to ignore the geoparquet metadata, and it doesn't write it when passed to arrow::write_parquet(). Is this the expected behavior and will the GeoParquet spec expected to be supported at some point? This is a feature we are very interested in, and I am very happy to help contribute in any way I can. Please reach out if I can help in anyway. Thanks again for making this package - It is something we've been hoping for for a while!

Cheers,
Brayden

I mostly just didn't get there before the first release (but also wanted to make sure that I got this "out there" for the non-GeoParquet use-cases).

Draft PR is here: #30

Thanks so much for your hard work here! Has there been any progress on this? Our data stack requires specifically GeoParquet, and would love to use your package, but at the moment the files geoarrow produces seem to be parquet-storing-geography-as-a-record.
