Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-859:
------------------------------------
The motivation was simplifying the build for thirdparties somewhat, see e.g.
https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=-DARROW_BUILD_TESTS%3Doff&type=Code
I don't feel super strongly, so I'm OK with leaving things as they are
> [C++] Do not build unit tests by default?

> This is strictly a subjective call -- since more people are using Arrow as a
> thirdparty library, it might be preferably to only opt-in to running the unit
> tests (vs. currently: explicitly opting out) for Arrow development.
