Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-6358:
-------------------------------------
So another way to "skin this cat" is simply to not delete buckets in any of the
generic filesystem APIs, and instead add a "DeleteBucket" function that is
S3-specific. Not sure how challenging this would be to incorporate into the
testing regimen
> [C++] FileSystem::DeleteDir should make it optional to delete the directory
> itself

> Key: ARROW-6358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6358
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Affects Versions: 0.14.1
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
>
> In some situations, it can be desirable to delete the entirety of a
> directory's contents, but not the directory itself (e.g. when it's a S3
> bucket). Perhaps we should add an option for that.
