pitrou opened a new issue, #46958: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46958
### Describe the enhancement requested This is an enhancement proposal to add convenience functions in the `pyarrow.fs` module. Examples: * `pyarrow.fs.open_input_stream(uri, compression, buffer_size)` * `pyarrow.fs.open_input_file(uri)` * `pyarrow.fs.open_output_stream(uri, compression, buffer_size, metadata)` Pros: * easier one-shot access to arbitrary filesystems Cons: * will create a new filesystem instance every time (unless we later add a caching scheme? that might be costly and fragile/dangerous) ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
