> [C++][Dataset] Support for file-like objects (buffers) in FileSystemDataset?

> The current {{pyarrow.parquet.read_table}}/{{ParquetFile}} can work with
> buffer (reader) objects (file-like objects, pyarrow.Buffer,
> pyarrow.BufferReader) as input when dealing with single files. This
> functionality is for example being used by pandas and kartothek (in addition
> to being extensively used in our own tests as well).
> While we could keep the old implementation to handle single files (which is
> different from the ParquetDataset logic), there are also some advantages of
> being able to handle this in the Datasets API.
> For example, this would enable to filtering functionality of the datasets
> API, also for this single-file buffers use case, which would be a nice
> enhancement (currently, {{read_table}} does not support {{filters}} in case
> of single files, which is eg why kartothek implements this themselves).
> Would this be possible to support?
> The {{arrow::dataset::FileSource}} already has PATH and BUFFER enum types
> (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/08f8bff05af37921ff1e5a2b630ce1e7ec1c0ede/cpp/src/arrow/dataset/file_base.h#L46-L49),
> so it seems in principle possible to create a FileSource (for a
> FileSystemDataset / FileFragment) from a buffer instead of from a path?
