Description

Just like parquet format, ORC has a large group of fans in Bigdata area, it has better performance than parquet in some use cases.
But there is a problem in python is that it doesn't have the standard write function.

Seems the ORC team itself maintains the standard C++ code(https://github.com/apache/orc/tree/master/c%2B%2B) , so I think it won't take too much effort to integrate into Arrow(C++) and build the hook for python.
