--------------------------------------
Assignee: Neal Richardson
> [Python] Hold a reference to the dataset factory for later reuse

> Key: ARROW-7965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7965
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Time Spent: 2h 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Provide a more intuitive way to construct nested dataset:
> ```python
> # instead of using confusing factory function
> dataset([
> factory("s3://old-taxi-data", format="parquet"),
> factory("local/path/to/new/data", format="csv")
> ])
> # let the user to construct a new dataset directly from dataset objects
> dataset([
> dataset("s3://old-taxi-data", format="parquet"),
> dataset("local/path/to/new/data", format="csv")
> ])
> ```
> In the future we might want to introduce a new Dataset class which wraps
> functionality of both the dataset actory and the materialized dataset
> enabling optimizations over rediscovery of already materialized datasets.
