David Li commented on ARROW-12681:
----------------------------------
It does seem a little odd that the columns are on the file reader and not on
the read itself - but I think we could rectify that easily enough on the C++
side later on.
> [Python] Expose IpcReadOptions to ipc facility
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-12681
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12681
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Francois Saint-Jacques
> Priority: Minor
>
> I would like to be able to read only a subset of columns from a given IPC
> file. To do this, we need to expose the EXPERIMENTAL (is it still?)
> IpcReaderOptions.include_fields option. The reason is that the file is on a
> remote storage and can't mmap thus I want to minimize network transfer.
> I do not know the best way to "pythonize" IpcReaderOptions and would need
> help on this.
