----------------------------------------------------------------
To collect some anecdotal evidence about problems with the current boost_ep. It
seems the entire boostorg has some kind of rate limiting issue on Bintray and
trying to access e.g.
https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.72.0/source/boost_1_72_0.tar.gz
yields 403 Forbidden. So all the more reason to host our EP artifact on GitHub
or some other place within our agency

> Key: ARROW-8222
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8222
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Neal Richardson
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 0.17.0
>
> Time Spent: 1h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> We don't use much of Boost (just system, filesystem, and regex), but when we
> do a bundled build, we still download and extract all of boost. The tarball
> itself is 113mb, expanded is over 700mb. This can be slow, and it requires a
> lot of free disk space that we don't really need.
> [bcp|https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_72_0/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html] is
> a boost tool that lets you extract a subset of boost, resolving any of its
> necessary dependencies across boost. The savings for us could be huge:
> {code}
> mkdir test
> ./bcp system.hpp filesystem.hpp regex.hpp test
> tar -czf test.tar.gz test/
> {code}
> The resulting tarball is 885K (kilobytes!).
> {{bcp}} also lets you re-namespace, so this would (IIUC) solve ARROW-4286 as
> well.
> We would need a place to host this tarball, and we would have to updated it
> whenever we (1) bump the boost version or (2) add a new boost library
> dependency. This patch would of course include a script that would generate
> the tarball. Given the small size, we could also consider just vendoring it.
