If so, I'm not sure it makes sense to add another way for the user to choose the instantiated file reader class. > [Python] Add option (or some equivalent) to toggle memory mapping > functionality when using parquet.ParquetFile or other read entry points > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-2627 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2627 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Python > Reporter: Wes McKinney > Priority: Major > > See issue described in https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/1946.
