Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-6300:
---------------------------------------

> generally, I thought it was frowned upon to work that could fail in the 
> destructor anyways

Probably, but I think it's unavoidable to handle cases where the user didn't 
clean up explicitly.

> Are we writing temporary files and then moving them (i.e. letting the OS 
> cleanup the temporary file)?

No, we aren't doing that in any of the IO classes currently.

> [C++] Add io::OutputStream::Abort()

> This method would abort the current output stream without trying to flush or 
> commit any pending internal data. This makes sense mostly for buffered 
> streams. For other streams it could simply synonymous to Close().
