   @pitrou Reducing the page cache memory usage is the goal of this feature.  
Per: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14635
   
   The goal would be to allow for writing a large dataset without significantly 
impacting the server (this is important if the server is a desktop / laptop 
being actively used).  Filling the page cache with dirty pages leads to 
unnecessary swapping of active user processes.
