Ji Xu updated ARROW-3538:
-------------------------
    Description: 
Say I have a pandas DataFrame {{df}} that I would like to store on disk as 
dataset using pyarrow parquet, I would do this:
{code:java}
table = pyarrow.Table.from_pandas(df)
pyarrow.parquet.write_to_dataset(table, root_path=some_path, 
partition_cols=['a',]){code}
On disk the dataset would look like something like this:
 {color:#14892c}some_path{color}
 {color:#14892c}├── a=1{color}
 {color:#14892c}____├── 4498704937d84fe5abebb3f06515ab2d.parquet{color}
 {color:#14892c}├── a=2{color}
 {color:#14892c}____├── 8bcfaed8986c4bdba587aaaee532370c.parquet{color}

*Wished Feature:* It'd be great if I can override the auto-assignment of the 
long UUID as filename somehow during the *dataset* writing. My purpose is to be 
able to overwrite the dataset on disk when I have a new version of {{df}}. 
Currently if I try to write the dataset again, another new uniquely named 
[UUID].parquet file will be placed next to the old one, with the same, 
redundant data.
