Implement direct Avro encoder to eliminate GenericDatum intermediate layer, matching the decoder approach for better performance. Implementation: - Add avro_direct_encoder_internal.h with EncodeArrowToAvro API - Add avro_direct_encoder.cc implementing direct Arrow→Avro encoding - All primitive types: bool, int, long, float, double, string, binary - Temporal types: date, time, timestamp - Logical types: uuid, decimal - Nested types: struct, list, map (both string and non-string keys) - Union type handling for optional fields - Modify avro_writer.cc to use DataFileWriterBase with direct encoder - Add EncodeContext to reuse scratch buffers and avoid allocations This matches Java Iceberg implementation using Encoder interface directly, avoiding intermediate object allocation overhead.

I haven't finished my review yet, just post my findings so far.

I just noticed that we haven't checked null for DecodeContext* ctx in the decoder implementation. Can we use DecodeContext& and EncodeContext& ctx so we don't need to bother with null check?

Do we need to check if num of fields mismatch between arrow array and avro node?

…dation Change EncodeContext* and DecodeContext* parameters to references to avoid null pointer checks and make the API safer. - Update EncodeContext* ctx to EncodeContext& ctx in encoder - Update DecodeContext* ctx to DecodeContext& ctx in decoder - Remove null check in EncodeArrowToAvro - Update all ctx-> to ctx. in both encoder and decoder - Update call sites to pass by reference instead of pointer - Add field count validation in AVRO_RECORD encoding to prevent out-of-bounds access
