-----------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Add a method to convert a Table to a
RecordBatchReader
Key: ARROW-15823
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15823
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Reporter: Weston Pace
The RecordBatchReader interface is a key abstraction for the C stream API.
There is no great way today to convert a Table (or an iterable of batches) to a
RecordBatchReader.
DuckDb is currently doing this by wrapping the Table in an in-memory dataset
and consuming it with a scanner but this has considerable overhead (especially
if the Table has many batches).
Alternatively, we could add bridge methods to export a table to a stream but I
think this approach would be simpler.
