Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.
Arrow's python and R packages already have the concept of reading from alternative file systems such as s3 (not necessarily limited to AWS here).

Describe the solution you'd like
Given a URI, datafusion can determine the proper FileSystem implementation to use to read the file, 'file://' giving LocalFileSystem being the default.
Optionally, caching files could be added, which would be a great addition to limit costs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Cloning files with a tool like RClone or any provided cli tool such as gcp or aws cli to clone files before working on them.

Additional context
Lower barrier of entry to trying out arrow-datafusion, also datafusion could then be used to manage partition cache and prune unused data in tables.
