Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-17313:
----------------------------------------
The intent of datasets has always be that each file format defines its own
granularity for reading files. I don't understand why the consumer would
specify byte ranges by hand.
[~bkietz] What is your opinion on this?
> [C++] Add Byte Range to CSV Reader ReadOptions
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-17313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17313
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Python
> Reporter: Ziheng Wang
> Assignee: Ziheng Wang
> Priority: Major
>
> Sometimes it's desirable to just read a portion of a CSV. The best way to do
> that is to pass in a list of byte ranges to CSV read options that specify
> where in the CSV you want to read. These byte ranges don't necessarily have
> to be aligned on line break boundaries, the CSV reader should just read until
> the end of the line, and skip anything before the first line break in a byte
> range.
> Based on discussion, the scope is going to be reduced here. The first
> implementation will support a single byte range that is already assumed to be
> aligned on byte boundaries.
> Will not handle quotes/returns and other edge cases.
