[Feature] Paimon Rust

Search before asking

• I searched in the issues and found nothing similar.

Motivation

It's extremely difficult for non-JVM languages like Rust and Python to interact with Paimon tables.

If we implement Paimon in Rust, it will enable a lot of use cases.

For instance, we could facilitate reading and writing Paimon data within Databend (in Rust) and DuckDB (in C++). Additionally, by creating paimon-py based on paimon-rust, we can make Paimon accessible in Python environments.

Solution

Create a pure rust implementation of the paimon spec similar to Iceberg project: iceberg-rust.

Anything else?

I'm willing to help make it happen. We can start by creating a paimon-rust repo.
