Review Comment:
   Must this filter be satisfied?  Or is it best effort?
   
   If it must be satisfied then how will you handle UDFs and other strange 
functions in the filter?

Review Comment:
   Any notion of ordering / sortedness is missing.

Review Comment:
   If you have `to_reader` then you could create a default implementation for 
these two methods.  Is there any particular reason to include them?  In other 
words, do you expect an implementation to be able to somehow support `to_table` 
more efficiently than `to_reader().read_all()`?

Review Comment:
   The difference between `Sequence[str]` and `Dict[str, Expression]` is 
significant.  The former only allows you to pick which columns to load.  The 
latter introduces the concept of project expressions which is big.

Review Comment:
   Isn't that the C stream interface?

Review Comment:
   You could potentially consider using Substrait's extended expression instead 
of pyarrow expressions.  This could remove the pyarrow dependency entirely and 
frame this in terms of Substrait and the C stream interface.
   
   For those that want to use pyarrow expressions then 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/34834 should make that pretty 
straightforward.
