Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-10344:
-----------------------------------------------
No, there is no way to concat horizontally with the datasets API.
>From your descriptions and the type of data, I am wondering if Feather is
>actually a suited file format. It seems you have a big array like data (and
>numeric data, but with labeled dimensions), which is potentially very wide,
>and which you would ideally chunk both on the rows as the columns. For
>something like that, it might be interesting to look at the zarr format

> [Python] Get all columns names (or schema) from Feather file, before loading

> Is there a way to get all column names (or schema) from a Feather file before
> loading the full Feather file?
> My Feather files are big (like 100GB) and the names of the columns are
> different per analysis and can't be hard coded.
> {code:python}
> import pyarrow.feather as feather
> # Code here to check which columns are in the feather file.
> ...
> my_columns = ...
> # Result is pandas.DataFrame
> read_df = feather.read_feather('/path/to/file', columns=my_columns)
> # Result is pyarrow.Table
> read_arrow = feather.read_table('/path/to/file', columns=my_columns)
> {code}
