coady opened a new issue, #33832:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/33832

   ### Describe the enhancement requested
   
   Spun off from #33825.
   
   `pc._group_by` requires loaded arrays, which means it's not practical to 
group and aggregate large datasets. Even if the dataset is partitioned, there 
is no built-in way to aggregate by partition keys. Iterating `get_fragments` is 
the only option.
   
   Another variant would be to aggregate by batch, but that would still require 
grouping, and in practice would limit the aggregations to simple associative 
ones, e.g., `sum`. So probably focusing on fragments first is better.
   
   
   ### Component(s)
   
   C++, Python
