**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*) I would like to write parquet files to "true" streams. E.g. stdout. This is in the context of the downstream `odbc2parquet` tool, for which I would like provide the option. This would allow my users to stream the parquet directly into a key value store or other sink just using pipes in their shell. **Describe the solution you'd like** I would like to see the `Seek` + `TryClone` requirement dropped as a requirement to initialize a `SerializedFileWriter`. From what I've seen at least the `Seek` requirement is used to determine the length of the Metadata written into the stream. Or tracking stream position in general. I feel `Seek` is to strong a requirement to just keep track of a position, or bytes written. **Describe alternatives you've considered** I have not considered any alternatives. Happy to hear about them, though. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
