> ARROW-8058 added options related to schema inference / validation for the
> Dataset factory. We should expose this in Python in the {{dataset(..)}}
> factory function:
> - Add ability to pass a user-specified schema with a {{schema}} keyword,
> instead of inferring the schema from (one of) the files (to be passed to the
> factory finish method)
> - Add {{validate_schema}} option to toggle whether the schema is validated
> against the actual files or not.
> - Expose in some way the number of fragments to be inspected when inferring
> or validating the schema. Not sure yet what the best API for this would be.
