             Summary: [C++] Add FileSystem::MakeUri() to serialize file 
locations to URIs
                 Key: ARROW-10222
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10222
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
            Reporter: Ben Kietzman
            Assignee: Antoine Pitrou
             Fix For: 3.0.0


Making the transform FS -> URI bijective would greatly simplify unambiguous 
location of files and serialization of filesystems. Something like:

{code}
Result<std::string> FileSystem::MakeUri(std::string path = "/");
{code}

Difficulties:
-  SubTreeFileSystem::MakeUri("/") would probably return a URI referring to its 
base directory in the wrapped filesystem, which wouldn't roundtrip to a 
SubTreeFileSystem with FileSystemFromUri
- Not all of s3's parameters are supported in a URI
