### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible. Hi everyone, We have been using `pyarrow.parquet.ParquetFile` and `pyarrow.parquet.read_table` extensively, and have been hitting errors related to `pre_buffer=True` for macOS users on newer versions of macOS (Sequoia). I would like to understand two things related to usage : - `pyarrow.parquet.ParquetFile` has `pre_buffer=False` as a default ([doc](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.parquet.ParquetFile.html)) but other bjects such as `pyarrow.parquet.ParquetDataset` ([doc](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.parquet.ParquetDataset.html)) use `pre_buffer=True` - This is also the case for the `pyarrow.parquet.read_table()` method ([doc](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.parquet.read_table.html)), which uses `pre_buffer=True`. I'd like to understand why `read_table()` does not rely on the defaults provided by the inherited `pyarrow.NativeFile`, if provided, e.g. if using `pyarrow.parquet.ParquetFile`, `read_table` would use `pre_buffer=False`. Please let me know if this is not the right place to post this and if these issues are real. Thank you for your time. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
