Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-6613:
-------------------------------------
I would suggest adding a {{ARROW_FILESYSTEM}} option, setting it to off by
default, then handling the remaining usages of Boost in the core library-only
build.
I think it's fine to have boost::filesystem in src/arrow/filesystem. People who
are making use of this functionality are probably more OK with accepting
additional build dependencies. I would mainly like this stuff to be out of the
way of people who are only using Array / ArrayBuilder / RecordBatch and IPC
read/write tools
