Actually, the thrift header file and library are used in parquet related
code.
Parquet is a table storage format you can specify when creating a table,
just like row and column. It's an open source format and the metadata
information are encoded in thrift.

> As discussed in [this thread|http://is.gd/MZUN49], the dependency on native thrift_devel might be redundant, as it seems new HAWQ is using its schema compiler via Java APIs. If so, let's remove thus dependency, because an external mandatory source code dependency doesn't sit well with Apache release expectations.
